How to Make a DIY Cake Stand

Have you seen those marble acacia wood pedestals??? I love them, but I don’t love the price!!! They can get so expensive! One day, while strolling the aisles of Walmart, I spied this melamine plate that looked pretty close to real marble! The best part-it’s only $2.50!!!! And it has a little sister too!!! My frugal wheels started spinning, and I knew immediately what I was going to do with them!!! I bought both the dinner plate, and the salad plate! They would be the perfect addition to a pair of candle holders I already had! Here’s how to make a DIY cake stand!!!

Wood candle holder

Melamime plate

Strong glue, like Gorilla glue

Flip the candle holder upside down so that there is a level surface area to glue to.

Glue around the perimeter of the candle holder and fill in, so that the entire area has glue applied. Use a strong glue, like Gorilla glue.

Turn the plate upside down, center the candle holder glued side down to the plate, and press down the glued side.

Press the candle holder down on the upside down plate until it's well set.
