I posted a few days ago about wanting to make cake stands, since I need about 8 of them. Well, I did it all day today! Super easy! The most expensive one cost about $4 total.

Oh, I also included 2 photos of a pretty cookie table, which is what my cake stands are for. 1,000 cookies!

They are vases/candle sticks from goodwill at about .50/piece and a glass plate from goodwill at about $1/each. They you just use clear epoxy and the hold is very sturdy! Yipppie! You can google it, some blogs have directions and other cool pics.

I love these. You've totally inspired me to go shop Goodwill tomorrow - I've been wanting to use a cake stand but I wasn't going to spend $20 on one. Plus these are much more unique than a regular cake stand...beautiful job!

@Camrie---Good! It's funny, I've never been to a goodwill before and then i started grabbing glassware from all our local ones. GOOD LUCK and I really hope you post a picture when you're done!
