DIY Cake Stand under $5


Cake stand under $5? Yes please... I came across a similar tutorial (there are so many out there) on Pinterest and put my spin on it using vinyl. Such a cute stand to make for showers, entertaining, or as a gift. They are so cute and are HANDMADE..which is fabulous. How cute would these be for Halloween and Christmas?

Supplies
1 Can of matte grey primer
1 Can spray paint of your choice
(I used Almond and Berry Pink)
1 Glass candle stick ($ Tree)
1 Silver platter ($Tree)
E 6000 Glue 
Vinyl polka dots & flowers (if you choose vinyl)



Spray paint 2 coats of grey primer to both the candle stick and platter.
Let dry completely in between coats.
Spray paint both the platter and candle stick the color of your choice and let dry. 
Once completely dry, apply the E6000 to the tapered end of the candle stick and position in the center of the platter. Turn right side up and place something heavy on the platter to weigh it down. 
Let it dry over night.
You can leave as is or choose to decorate your cake stand with vinyl as shown.
If you are interested in a kit of flowers and polka dots for this project, please drop me an email.
 Please keep in mind these are NOT food safe.
(Cupcakes in this photo are from "Sweets by Maggie" a local cupcake shop. Pictured is Summer Shandy, Chocolate Raspberry, Lemon, and Chocolate. They are quite YUMMY)
Anyways....
You can use a paper cake doily under food items.
 These can also be used to hold jewelry, nail polish, make up, etc...
Stack 3 to make a cupcake stand~enjoy
