Shabby Chic Cake Stand Tutorial

I absolutely love cake stands! I have been looking for inexpensive parts so I could make one... I found a cheese dome and candle stick at my local thrift store a grand total of $2.50.  They will be the perfect pieces for my upcycled cake stand! I can't wait... : )

Here is your ordinary cheese dome.

Pretty boring.

Add a candle holder, and it starts to get a little more interesting...

I super glued the two together.

That was easy!

Now for some white paint.

Aaah! Everything looks better in white! I added a piece of wood to the base, so it wouldn't be too top heavy. (I just had this piece of wood lying around,  and wanted to use it for something : ) )

I super glued the piece of wood to the base,  and here it is...In all of it's beauty!

I love it! Don't you?

I made a little pink one too...

I found another cheese dome exactly like the first!

At the SAME thrift shop - a month later!

What are the odds?

Isn't it cute? I LOVE it! I sold it on ETSY.  Hated to part with that one...
