Take an old tarnished candlestick, (these are easy to find in thrift stores as nobody likes to polish silver or brass,) and spray paint it.
Find a pretty plate, also easy to find while thrifting, and get some silicone glue, or e6000 glue. DO NOT use hot glue, it won't hold.
Put a ring of glue around the top of the candlestick then center it on the face down plate. Let it dry 24 hours before moving.
Voila! A pretty cake stand to hold all manner of treats!

awesome, i love cake stands, but i don't want to purchase any because i'm afraid they'll break in our many transoceanic moves! this takes some of the expense out and makes unique piece of serveware.
Hi!
Today I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this tutorial.
I'd appreciate your letting me know if that's OK.

Brilliant! I love seeing old, throw-away items being repurposed into something so lovely!
Your idea is lovely. I would like to ask you though, viola is the french Voila?
As I am completely dissatisfied with the one blah cakestand we have, this is being added to my 'to do' list. Lovely.
So simple.
So AWESOME!
Wonderful.
This is brilliant! I am going to do this for the 5 antique-inspired cake trays I need for my wedding!
