DIY Cakestand

II first saw this done at http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2011/03/diy-colorful-dessert-stands/


I thought it was so clever. I had to try it myself. Instead of stemware, I used an old candlestick I found at the thrift store. The plate and candle stick were 60% and together were less than a dollar.


Clean them. I chose to glue first. In the link above, she does this afterward. You need a waterproof glue that works on glass. I found mine at Joanne's for about $5. I didn't need a lot. Worked like a charm.

 The glue quickly dried.

 Now, it's ready to spray with the "Frosted Glass" spray, which I also found at Joanne's. About $5

I gave it several nice coats. It's not too visible on these surfaces, but it will help adhere the Colored spray paint of your choice.

 I had a can of pale pink on hand, so I used that this time. Here goes nothing.

 My finished product. I think it's sweet. This was really too easy!

 Pretty in Pink.

I will never look at old junky plates, stemware, or candlesticks in the same way again. I highly recommend this "up-Cycle".
