Cake Stand Tutorial
What You Need:
* a pretty plate
* an old candlestick, vase (small and sturdy with a wide base is best), large espresso shot glass, or a thick glass
* super glue, or craft glue ( I used superglue as I never seem to have much luck with craft glue)
* tape (masking, cella or craft tape)
Directions:
1. Choose your plate and base, and make sure that the plate balances on the candlestick (or other base)
2. Clean and Dry both the plate and the candlestick.
3. Find the centre of the back of the plate and mark it with a marker pen.
4. Apply superglue to the candlestick and the bottom of the plate.
5. Firmly but gently press the candlestick onto the bottom of the plate.
6. It may be necessary to apply tape across the candlestick while the glue dries.
7. Once dry (over night or a few hours depending on the glue used) use as a display item or cake stand. Wash gently depending on the durability of the glue used.

Fantastic idea!
That great! I would never think up anything like that, I love the plate you used too! :0)
great cake stand Meri and such delicious jewellery!
It looks lovely.
A great glue is E6000.
That's a brilliant idea! I have been looking for some cake stands for when I start doing fairs but they are so pricey. I think I might follow this and make my own then I can have them exactly as I want. Thanks for the tutorial.
