Here’s how to make a glass cake stand… Materials: How pretty is this cake pedestal? It looks quite expensive but I have a secret… it was free to me! I found a glass candlestick and a pretty glass plate… and VOILA! With the right kind of glue you have a stunning cake plate pedestal! Today is 10 MINUTE DECORATING THE SPRING EDITION! You can find easy and creative ideas for spring home decor below! You can make large cake pedestals and mini ones too. Not only is making this cake plate pedestal so simple it’s also very very inexpensive! If you like shopping for gems at places like Goodwill this DIY project might be a little addictive! How about making a very sentimental cake pedestal using a plate from your great Aunt Audra or Mom Mom Margaret. Secure with a ribbon and a cute gift tag.I’m thrilled to share this oh, so easy and very pretty cake plate stand! It can be used every day or like shown here for a special occasion. Cut a small slit in the bottom of a square of cellophane, then place the candle stick through the middle so that the plate and bars are covered in cellophane. They always turn out delicious!Īfter the bars have cooled completely, cut them into squares and arrange them on the plate. The girls just sort-of throw everything on top and I try to even it out as best I can. You can get the recipe here, but feel free to use it as a rough guideline–we don’t really measure any of the ingredients. I then carefully weighed down the candlesticks with a stack of plates and let them dry for 24 hours.Īfter the plates had dried, we made our 7-Layer Dream Bars.

Once the final coat of paint was finally dry, we glued the bottom of the plates to the top of the candlesticks, following the instructions on the tube of E-6000 adhesive. We started by painting our dollar store candle sticks with the Martha Stewart metallic paint (we had it leftover from another project.) The girls tended to glop it on a little thick, so I helped them smooth it out. Here is what you will need: Holiday plates (We got our cute gold & silver snowflake ones at Target for $1.99 each) Glass candlesticks (from the dollar store) Martha Stewart Metallic Paint (or any kind that works on glass) paint brush E-6000 industrial strength adhesive (get it at Home Depot) 7 Layer Dream Bars (recipe below) Clear Cellophane (from dollar store) Ribbon & gift tags Both are super easy and make great gifts. Any cookie or bar recipe will do, but we chose 7-Layer Dream Bars because they are our favorite and the girls love making them “by themselves.”įor the holidays you might consider making our Graham Cracker Peppermint Bark or our traditional Homemade Peppermint Bark.

It was one of those projects that needs to be done in stages to allow for drying time, so be sure to allow yourself a couple of days to complete it! We used some cute sparkly gold & silver snowflake melamine plates we found at Target, but you could use any sort of plate for this project–vintage plates from the antique store or Goodwill would be super cute as well! You could also skip painting the candlestick to make the project go a little quicker. After all, who doesn’t love receiving a cute plate full of yummy goodies? It was another great project for my girls to help with and they were received to rave reviews. They were so easy that I thought it would be a fun way to deliver holiday goodies this year. I first tried making my own cake stands for my daughter Annie’s let them eat CAKE party earlier this year. Need an inexpensive gift idea for teachers, neighbors, or friends? This easy DIY cake stand comes together with Dollar Tree items and is so cute!
