I’m here to share with you a super simple and easy dollar store project!  I’ve always wanted a cake stand but haven’t wanted to fork out the money for one since I don’t make cakes too often.  I love to bake but I’m always making them in 9×11 pans.  So I decided to make one out of materials I got at the Dollar Tree.

Back in the Fall I did a post about how to decorate a beautiful, neutral fall tablescape.  I also made this super, yummy recipe for the post.  For the full recipe for my delicious Pecan Pie Spice Cake click here.  I wanted to display my cake on the table so I decided to make the cake stand I’ve wanted for so long.

I had seen tutorials before where you take a candlestick and plate and make your own so I thought I would give it a try.  I found this candle stick and chose this white plate from Dollar Tree.

I got out my secret weapon…gorilla glue…and put a thin layer on the top of the candlestick.  It’s hard to see it in the picture as the glue is clear but I outlined the candlestick.  I then positioned it onto the plate and let it dry for a couple of hours.

After it was dry I took it outside and spray painted the candlestick white to match the plate.  This step isn’t necessary but I wanted it to have a unified look.  Once it was dry I then had a perfectly adorable cake stand that only cost me $2!!  (I already owned the spray paint.)  I’m so glad I spent a whole 10 minutes on this cake stand rather than going to the store and buying one for $20 or more.  It probably would have taken longer to drive to the store and back then to make it!  So next time you are at the dollar store grab a candlestick and plate and you can make a cake stand of your own!

Would you have any idea looking at these photos that I glued a candlestick and plate together?!  How fun and simple!  I love a good DIY project, especially when it’s cheap and easy!  I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I’ve been super busy working on projects and getting prepared for the One Room Challenge starting in April!  Now for a fun weekend with friends and family!
A Successful Thanksgiving! 21

    This is an amazing and creative idea! I’m so glad that I found it! I too have felt that I would need to forego spending the extra money for a cake plate, but this is worth a shot! I’d love to feature you on ‘My Post Monday’ on my blog. Come visit!

MEET RUTHIE

My name is Ruthie, I was born and raised in the Midwest.  I met the man of my dreams in Nashville, TN and decided to follow him back home to California.  First came love, then came marriage, then came the baby in the baby carriage.  My husband got a new job when my daughter was 2 months old and we packed up and moved halfway across the country to Minnesota, back to my homeland. We now have two beautiful little girls.
