It seems as though all sorts of cute party decorating items are “all the rage” these days–cake stands, tiered plates, apothecary jars, hurricane lamps, etc. I love these items, but there is often one big problem! The price tag. Well, thanks to one of the crafty moms in my MOPS group, I now can make my own cake stands for less than $3! Now that is a price that I like.<\/p>\n

And, not only is the price fantastic, but this might just be the easiest DIY project on the planet. This is all you need:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A candle holder, a plate, and some glue! For this particular stand, the candle stick holder is from the dollar store (& spray painted white) and the plate is a salad plate from the Easter line at Target. Total cost = $2.79<\/p>\n

To construct your stand, glue around the rim of the candle holder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can add a little circle of glue on the underneath side of the plate for good measure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStick the two together and let dry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, voila, <\/em>an adorable cake stand for next to nothing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

How great would these be for a Mother’s Day luncheon\/tea?! Or, even for a Mother’s Day present for grandma from the grandkids with some of her favorite goodies on top?!<\/p>\n

In addition to the fantastic price & ease of construction, I love that the possibilities are nearly endless! Customize plates for your household decor or specific holidays; use different sizes\/colors of candle holders & plates to create different looks; or stack different sizes to make tiered stands.<\/p>\n

So, next time you’re doing some thrifty shopping at the dollar store, thrift stores, or garage sales, be on the look out for plates & candle stick holders to do your DIY cake stands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
