a few days ago i was on the hunt for a smallish cake stand
i searched high and low and couldn't find anything that was "just right"
so, i thought, i will make one myself !
i am sure that i am not the first one to make my own cake stand
(ok, just googled cake stand tutorial and there are lots!)
it's pretty easy peasy and i thought i would share with you all
just how easy peasy it is!
you will need:
E6000 glue i got mine from a local craft store
a candle stick holder/stand
an appropriate sized plate for your candle holder/stand
apply the glue to the top (or bottom) of the candle stick/holder
turn plate face down and position candle stick/holder
in the center of the plate making sure the candle stick/holder
is adhering to the plate
let glue dry for at least 24 hours
and voila! you have your very own custom made cake stand!
and what's great is you can pretty much make it in
any colour combination or size you like
you can even add tiers by adding another candle stick and plate
go as high as you like!
go as high as you like!
and mine cost a grand total of $1.98 (not including the glue which i had already)
the candle holder was purchased from a thrift store for $0.99 and the plate was $0.99 too!
i made mine for a special back to school celebration
we are having this weekend
zoe starts grade 1 on tuesday and pia starts pre-school!
it's another busy weekend for us filled with birthday celebrations and
a special back to school (or in pia's case--first time in school) celebration
and my mom and dad are taking zoe and pia for part of the weekend because
they want to spend time with them before the busyness of school hits
aren't grandparents the best?!
oh, and zoe's 6th birthday picnic party was featured on sheek shindigs
check it out here!
and if you have ever wondered how hard (or easy!!) it is
to travel with kids, check out my "how i travel" post over at unstitched!

That's a great (and inexpensive) idea. May have to employ that one! Have a great weekend.

So cute, I've seen a couple of these diy ones, I think most of the time they end up looking so much bettter than the store bought ones! Nice!!! :o)
This is a great idea I wanted another tier for cupcake it could even be engineered thanks Jozen ! So creative , just curious when do you find time ? Two days into full time mommy again and I AM EXHAUSTED !
Hey darling, I love your blog, I was wondering if you could follow mine? It's called the final sacrifice, I update it daily. It's at www.elishayates.com I am already following you and would mean soooo so so so much if you could follow me back.
Kind regards, a fan, a friend, Elisha Yates.
Wow, it really looks easy to make!
I think this is almost a better idea than even buying one anyways... you've clearly proven it can be MUCH cheaper and you can end up with something so cute and personalized. Hope you all have a great back to school celebration! :-)
GREAT idea! and super caaauutte!
