FABBY: DIY Cake Stands

Hello sweet friends!

   Hope you're all enjoying Summer time and specially the weekends.

I don't often DIY things because I guess I have enough stuff already around my house...but the other day I was cleaning and fixing some of my kitchen cabinets and I found this beautiful, blue Italian crystal round platter I had and used many, many years ago, as my only cake plate. 

 I also ran into my Mil's pretty forgotten cake plate and small bowl and ideas popped into my mind.  Here they are...my 'cake plates with pedestals' and now I will have more use for both of them!

So there!...I hope you like them too.

The blue cobalt crystal plate is Italian from many years ago. I had a small and simple glass cobalt blue bowl which I used for the stand. The clear one was my Mil's, and a set with the small bowl, which I glued on too and made the other stand. 

The glue I used on the bowls and onto the plates, was 'epoxy' glue, (like here) and left it over night to ensure success.

The plates with the bowls glued on with epoxy-glue and left overnight.

Here is the cobalt blue pedestal cake stand.

The clear glass one is perfect as the bowl and plate were a set.

I love it now with my blue and white china.

The clear is very versatile too.

...and here you have them , my DIYed cake plates with pedestals.


Thank you for your sweet and kind visits my friends, as you always make my day!

Thank you lovely and gracious hostesses for having me at your wonderful parties.

LOVE,
FABBY
