![]() ![]() This step isn’t necessary but I wanted it to have a unified look. I then positioned it onto the plate and let it dry for a couple of hours.Īfter it was dry I took it outside and spray painted the candlestick white to match the plate. It’s hard to see it in the picture as the glue is clear but I outlined the candlestick. I got out my secret weapon…gorilla glue…and put a thin layer on the top of the candlestick. I found this candle stick and chose this white plate from Dollar Tree. 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 wanted to display my cake on the table so I decided to make the cake stand I’ve wanted for so long. For the full recipe for my delicious Pecan Pie Spice Cake click here. I also made this super, yummy recipe for the post. So I decided to make one out of materials I got at the Dollar Tree.īack in the Fall I did a post about how to decorate a beautiful, neutral fall tablescape. ![]() I love to bake but I’m always making them in 9×11 pans. But you didn’t, so I’ll shush now.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. This project was extremely easy, and it turned out adorable if you ask me. Remember, you will always need to use a doily or some sort of napkin (or lace, as pictured), as food shouldn’t come in contact with the paint. I chose gold (shocker), and it took about three coats. Use your spray paint to spray the entire stand. Then you may have a few people looking up from the floor. Unless your party is serving shots of tequila. It doesn’t have to be perfect, as most people will not be looking up, from underneath. ![]() Then hot glue around the outside rim again (trying to keep a steady stream of glue). Hot glue all around the rim of the martini glass, and add it to the upside down plate. You’ll need a glue gun, and a spray paint color of your choice. Just a heads up, the tin plate was actually by the cookie sheets, not the plates. I bought the two items pictured above, a martini glass and a tin plate at Dollar Tree. I wanted to give you all the info, since a teacher is only as successful as her worst student (at least that’s what my teachers always told me). ![]() The only difference may be my detailed photo steps. I mean, I am unique, but my cake stand is not. There are tons of these on Pinterest, so I am not that unique. You can’t have cake without…Ī DIY Cake Stand. Let’s start this party with half of the most critical thing: Cake (the other half, clearly, is alcohol). Don’t worry, I’ll open all your cards and gifts on Friday (the official birthday), no need to get a head start. In order to really get this party started, I am going to grace you with “All Things Birthday” this week. I’ll drink a fancy-pants margarita in honor of you watching Modern Family, in honor of my birthday. You’ll probably end up with something like Modern Family, but hey, a party is a party. And just like that, it’s officially my birthday week! B said the opening ceremony will begin tonight. ![]()
