Metal Cakestands


Do you know how much I love cake stands?  I love cake stands a lot.  I have a large
collection of them and if I ever see one that needs a good home it usually comes home with me.

So, a few months back, I saw this cute idea over at the Pollyanna Reinvents blog.
Instead of pairing glass or ceramic plates with candlestick holders or cups
she paired metal trays with metal stands.


I found some metal parts at the thrift store.

Fifty cents or a dollar each.




I glued them together with E6000.


Painted them up pretty, and there you go.


I'll probably use a doily when they have food on them.

You could color coordinate them for any occasion. 

Go check out Pollyanna Reinvents.  She's got a big flea market event
coming up next weekend called Flea-ology.  Wish I could be there!

  1. What a cute idea. I like the blue plate stand. Wouldn't it look pretty with some red strawberries or cupcakes!

  4. Those look Great...
    I don't own a single cake stand.
    Actually...I have NEVER had one.
    They really are a delight though...so maybe I should look in to creating one for myself.
