diy vintage cake stands

This is a great idea that I got from here! I used a dishwasher safe sylicone based adhesive to attach glass candlestick holders to crystal platters. Both of which you can find at any thrift store and they are dirt cheap. I think I spent on average $2 per piece.



First make sure that your surfaces are clean and dry- that will make your adhesive stick much better.



Then put a small bead of glue all the way around the top of the candlestick holder.



Put platter down centered over the candlestick holder.



Let it dry over night before moving it at all. Also rememer to let it dry for 24 hours before you wash or use it for hot food.



So pretty huh? And these took me about 20 minutes to make. Cheap, easy, and fast! It's nice to cross a project off the list.
