Vintage Cake Stands: DIY

Here’s what you need:

• vintage plate
• glass candlestick
• crystal drawer pull (this is optional)
• epoxy glue (slow drying if you are making more than one vintage cake stand)
• ruler
• Sharpie
• Popsicle stick
• Q-tip
• something to mix your epoxy in (I used a recycled aluminum tray)

Step 1: Find the half way point on the back of your plate and place a dot using a Sharpie or other marking device.

Step 2: Pour your epoxy in a well ventilated area. (I used the fast drying epoxy, and it hardened in the tray and was no longer usable after about four minutes. If you are making several plates I would suggest using the slow drying epoxy.)

Step 3: Mix the epoxy using a Popsicle stick.

Step 4: Dip Q-tip in epoxy and coat the rim of the candlestick.

Step 5: Adhere candlestick to back of plate using fingers to press it into place.

Step 6: If you are adding a drawer pull to the other side of the plate, place a dab of epoxy glue on the drawer pull. Turn plate over and adhere to middle of plate.

Step 7: Let dry for recommended drying time.

*Note: You can also make tiered cake stands using one large plate, one small plate and a saucer. 

Enjoy!
