A
few weeks ago I finally made it to the Dollar Store (after trying to
go there for a good two years now - here at Fort Irwin, we live very far away from everything!).
As I was wandering down those isles of amazingly cheap items I remembered a Pinterest post that crossed my path a few years ago and the memory of a Cake Stand with Dollar Store items popped back in my mind.
I have been looking at those pretty cake stands ever since I started baking, but they are so incredibly expensive and this was just the perfect opportunity for me to satisfy that inner crafty monster while making something that I always wanted and without my husband coming after me for blowing the budget!

DIY Dollar Store Cake Stand
- Dollar Store metal plates (I choose round and oval ones)
- Dollar Store candle holders
- Super glue
- Spray paint
- a bigger cardboard
total
time: 20-30 min including time to dry.
Step
one:
Glue
the candle holders to the metal plates and let it all dry (I waited
5-10min just to be sure)
Step
two:
Place
them with the metal platter down and the candle holder up and give
them a nice coat of spray paint (don't forget to protect your surface with the cardboard!).
I also recommend doing this outside, in the garage or at least in a very well ventilated place.

Let
it all dry for about 5min.
Step
three:
Turn
the cake stands right side up and give the up side a good paint coat
as well and let it dry.
(Repeat Step two and three if wanted until you have the coverage you like!)

It is really a super easy craft and the best part: you can get it all done in a single nap time!
