I knew from the time I started planning my wedding that I wanted to make some DIY projects to use for the wedding. My first project was the origami flowers that I posted a picture of before. Those flowers will be used as centerpieces (pics to come later!). The projects I completed a few days ago were cake stands.
Ta Dah! Aren't they beautiful? All the stands are made of are glasses turned upside down, and plates. The shorter one actually has a candle holder as a base instead of a glass.
I epoxied the base of the glass/candle holder to the bottom of the plate, then spray painted, and voila! Simple, right? And they were cheap, too! The glasses I bought at an antique store for $6. The candle holders were about $2 at a consignment store, and the plates, also from the consignment store, were $1 each. With the cost of the epoxy and spray paint, I'd say the cost of the cake stands (I made 4 even though there are only 3 pictured) were about $5 each!
The plan is for the stands to hold cheesecakes at the wedding. :) This one will hold the "wedding cheesecake" (no wedding cake here!).
Elegant and beautiful, but also simple and cheap. Love it.
