Good morning.
My name is Corey Villicana and I am beyond thrilled
to be guest posting here in The Idea Room today.
I write Life With Little Ones, an ongoing love letter to my two little boys
and an overall synopsis of our lives together.
In addition to being a full time Momma,
I am also photographer, crafter and big time dreamer.
One of my very favorite things to do is to find even a small slice of the
day and wander aimlessly through thrift stores and antique shops.
I love every thing about it.
The hunt, the treasure that is bound to be found.
Once I’ve found a lovely item, I love rethinking it’s
purpose and essentially making something new out of something old.
Last week I was in need of a second cake stand.
I hit the local thrift stores to see what I could find to make one of my own.
Here is what I came up with.
Two Plates, a candle stick holder and a rusty old coffee can…
Two adorable new cake stands!
If you like what you see and would like to make
a cake stand of your own, please follow these simple instructions.
Choose yourself a base that looks substantial enough to hold the weight of your cake without tipping over.( It was love a first sight for me and this candle stick holder!)
And this little ole’ thing… Who could resist?
Choose a plate that is going to sit atop the base that you have already chosen. Consider the size of the plate and what size cake you would like to be able to display. Also, take into consideration the color, texture etc… of the base.
Use some glass epoxy to adhere the plate to the top of the base…
The coffee can was smaller than the bottom circumference of the plate that I had chosen for it, so I traced the top of the coffee can with a permanent marker, prior to covering it with the epoxy.
Then I laid the coffee can atop the traced circle… And waited for it to dry.
About thirty minutes later, I was done!
(If you might like one of these delicious treats to go onto your new cake stand,

Thank you so much for having me as a guest today.
Take care and have a wonderful day!

Corey Ann & Amy,
Thank you for your tutorial. I think this is a wonderful idea for inexpensive Holiday Gifts and one that a child can create (with assistance) A perfect presentation for homemade Christmas Cookies!
Also thank you for guest posting. It's a wonderful way to discover new blogs.
Your Friend,
Deborah
Love this! I'm going to make one immediately!!!
I did some of the same thing but just used Gorilla glue and it worked too. :D
Is this recipe for the cupcakes shown on this post?!?! They just looked so different.
Great idea. I would love to make these for presents!!
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful post. I absolutely LOVE the idea of the candle holder and the plate glued together to make a cake stand. The coffee can is awesome as well! I love old vintage things like that. The photo of the plate with the bird on it had me saying "aaaaaa….I want that plate!" Gorgeous! I love, love, love cake stands and recently just started to use them. I have only one, but I have been getting a lot of use out of it. I am now on the hunt for items to make cake stands. Geez! I am so inspired! Thanks!
I also LOVE roaming through thrift stores!!! Just found some fun vintage suitcases. Your cake stands are great!
What a great idea! I'm entered into a cheesecake competition this weekend and I was wondering what I could use. Thanks so much for the idea!
Is it weird that the whole time I was reading this post I couldn't stop thinking "That is a great plate but how do I get one of those treats"? I was so happy to get to the end and find a link to the recipe! Now I can relax and enjoy the plate as well. :) Thanks for sharing!
