Up-cycled Cake Stand

Kacey has been following some craft blogs lately and finding ideas that she wants to try out.  After a recent visit to St. Cloud and a stop at Savers, she had some items to 'up-cycle' into a new cake stand.

She spray painted a brass candle holder so it would match the blue plate that she bought.  Some super strong glue was used to attach the candle holder to the plate.

Kacey also discovered that the glass cover from my cake stand fit on her newest creation.
It's fun to see what a creative 13 year old can come up with...and she will now have a new way to display her cupcakes that she is always making!  Total cost for her project was less than $2.00.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend...we have been busy with the kids but wouldn't change it for the world!!

  1. I also just made some dessert stands with candle sticks and a can of spray paint, but I held the spray paint can too close (because it was so windy outside!) and now I have really bad spray paint runs/drips. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

  2. We have had that problem with spray paint too...just try sanding it and re-spraying it.

    Has worked for us on other projects where the paint has run/dripped.

    Email some pics of what you are working on...we'd love to see them!
