DIY Stoneware Cake Stand

So quick and easy!  So inexpensive!  Food Safe!  Reusable!  No painting!  

I put this cake stand together using a plate and bowl I purchased from Family Dollar.  I paid $2 for the plate and $1.60 for the bowl, along with a few cents worth of hot glue.  I came in at well under $4.  Family Dollar also had plain plates and bowls without the scroll design, for only $1 each; you could also purchase them at Dollar Tree for $1 each and complete the cake stand for a total of only $2!  You can't beat that.  

I've seen many tutorials that involve spray painting plastic plates and glass candle sticks.  I don't think the paint would hold very well on those surfaces and it would definitely have to be used for decor only as the painted surface would not be food safe.  My version offers a more versatile, food safe result and also simplifies the process tremendously.  This project literally took seconds!  I used hot glue for a temporary hold so I can repurpose the dishes later on.  But you could instead use E-6000 and let it set overnight for a more permanent bond.
