Crafty Creations: DIY Cake Stand

Oct 4, 2012 at 10:49am by Lauren Conrad

If you're thinking about giving away old glassware that might not match the rest of your home decor, hold that thought: this Crafty Creation will inspire you to make something new out of your mismatched items. My DIY cake stand is not only simple to make, it's versatile too. You can give it as a gift or use it to show off your baked goods, Halloween sweets, savory appetizers, or even jewelry and candles. Find out how to make this decorative display by watching the video below:



To recap, here's what you will need:

  • a plate
  • base of your choice (candle holder, martini glass, ramekin etc.)
  • industrial strength glue

 

The steps are simple and the end product is too sweet to pass up. I love the idea of spray painting the finished piece to make it one solid color.

What will you display on your DIY cake stand?

Upload photos of your creations to your LaurenConrad.com profiles, then copy and paste the link in the comments below. I'll take a peek and feature some of my favorites in a Member Spotlight post!

P.S. If you're looking for a sweet treat to display on your cake stand, browse through the DINE section on my website for some healthy and delicious recipes.

XO Lauren

      I used a candlestick from Ikea and a round cake board and then painted it all one colour. Next time i'm going to try using a upside down ceramic Quiche pan.

      When I made one I put in colored stones and a scented candle in it.

      I took a cake stand and I put in colored stones and a candle. It is now a center piece on my grandmothers dining room table. I also made one for my dads mom but for that one I put in river rocks with white pebbles and fake flowers.

      That is actually really handy to store nail polish, or even to place like daily make up products in a vanity or the bathroom, that way it's easier to see the products and it looks really pretty. XX

      I thought I was going to pass on this one, but it looks like something I may try! The trick about spray painting it all one color helps a lot!! Thanks Lauren!
