I love stacking my cake stands, larger on the bottom and all
sizes in between. When I am
entertaining I can layer snacks, cupcakes, canapés, etc at all different
levels. If you want to make your own various sized cake stands, all you need is
a glass candleholder, a clear glass plate and some E6000 glue. There are other
glass glues out there, but the only one that I find works well is E600
glue. I recommend hand washing
after use.
You will need:
A glass plate, flat on the bottom (I found one for 99 cents at a thrift shop)
Clear glass candleholder (also an inexpensive thrift shop
find)
E6000 glue
Rubbing alcohol
Cotton swab
Paper towels
1.
Wash the plate and candleholder with soap and
water. Put some alcohol on a paper
towel and wipe it on both pieces as well to remove any oils.
2.
Spread some of the E6000 glue around the rim of
the top of the candleholder where it will touch the plate bottom.
3.
Attach the candleholder to which you have added
the glue to the center of the bottom of the plate.
4.
If any glue has smeared on the outside edges
carefully wipe with a alcohol soaked cotton swab.
5.
Set aside and let dry for at least 24 hours.

Hi Crystal: I'm Connie at http://hotflashncraftn.blogspot.com/, a new GFC friend. I hope you will stop by and be mine, too. This is awesome, so elegant, so easy to make. Thank you for sharing. I've never heard of E600 glue.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteI love making my own stands. Yours turned out so pretty. I have not tried the cotton swab idea, and will definitely had to do that next time. I am pinning this on my great idea board.
