Upcycled candlesticks into cake plates

I have been known to post recipes-so-simple-they-don’t-need-a-recipe. This post is like that, only with craft. You need:

how to make a cake plate

1. a plate

2. a candlestick

3. a glue gun

make cake plate from candlestick

Stick 2 to the base of 1 with 3. Spray paint if needed.Β <I Put the instructions in bold so you didn’t blink and miss them.

Told you it was embarrassingly easy. I’m kind of embarrassed not to have tried it sooner. But I had to find the right plates and candlesticks at the Charity Shops. Then I found several, and made 2, bringing my total of cake-plates owned to 5. I should probably stop now.

    I love these, I’ve seen them around the internet a fair bit but have never got round to doing them myself. I’m in need of a new cake stand (only 2 at the moment!) and our local charity shops are always full of plates and candlesticks so I shall get hunting!

      I have seen them too fishfingers, which is what gave me the lightbulb moment. But making them yourself is so much cheaper than buying a cakeplate, and you have the advantage of being able to make them really different. One of mine uses a square plate, and I’ve not seen one like that to buy.Plus, when you get bored, you just respray them πŸ˜€
