Repurpose Upcycle Reuse Restyle Pedestal Plate Stand




Repurpose Upcycle Reuse Restyle Pedestal Plate Stand

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Happy you found me, and are visiting. I am enjoying sharing pieces from when I started to repurpose, and upcycle things. I had made quite a few Pedestal Plate Stands when I first started. I did different sizes using dinner plates, sandwich plates, dishes, bowls, and so on. A lot of the bases were made from candle holders. Once in a while I might find a coffee mug that would add character to a plate. I enjoyed using lonely vintage colored glass goblets to make these stands too. So many possibilities I enjoyed it, and had fun with it. Sometimes pieces were united, and offered as is. Some of the stands I would consider adding some lace, ribbon, cut and shaped sheet music, and it depended on my inspiration at the time what I would do. 

Below you will see a simple, but adorable stand I had made once. I used a green sandwich snack plate that had character with the shape, and design in the plate. I united it with a darker green ceramic candle holder with some light colored design around the bottom base. You will also seem my first balls I had made to accompany this stand. I used some ivory colored lace, and some light brown ribbing which was wrapped around styrofoam balls to make these. I had fun, enjoyed doing it, and the new owner was happy to have this adorning their home as well.



I do hope you enjoyed what I shared with you today. I take pleasure in sharing, and I have hopes maybe it will help to inspire you with your own creativity. Remember if you do not want to create it yourself you can always search for someone who does make things like this. Adorable unique pedestal stands that have their own uniqueness. 

Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams, and I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have fun, be safe, and see you again soon.

Repurposed Plates Pedestal Stand Cake Plate Candle Holders

Repurposed Plates Pedestal Stand Cake Plate Candle Holders

Welcome to LilacsNDreams, and happy to have you stopping by. As I have mentioned many times I so enjoy repurposing, and upcycling different pieces that I find. Below I am showing you a project that had been completed, and had SOLD too. 

When I started my venture with repurposing I had a lot of fun creating all different pedestal plate stands. Some were done with bigger dinner plates, or serving plates. Some were also done with sandwich desert plates too. Most of the bases used were from glass candle holders, wooden candle holders, sometimes I used a large coffee mug, a beautiful glass goblet that was a lonely piece, and if I seen possibilities with uniting pieces together I would do so. Sometimes a wooden base might have been painted, maybe some kind of decorative paper was used, and other times they were used as found. Many times pieces used were used pieces that looked like new, maybe had a minor flaw that was covered and noted, and once in a while I would find a new piece to use too.



The plate used with this stand was a small sandwich plate. I united it with a pure white ceramic candle holder. The colors of blue, and white were a very nice match for this pedestal made.


This picture shows you the pieces before they were united with the E6000 I often use. These stands have so many possibilities of uses with them. When I offer items for sale I like to use as many pictures as allowed to give everyone ideas of general uses, and ideas to maybe consider too. Maybe this will help the new owners with some creative ideas for their use as well.

These are great to use for serving mini cut sandwiches, little candies, maybe some truffles, offer some mints at tea/coffee time, use for a few cookies, and so on. These are also great adorning the home with some of the useful decorative decor too. Candle holders with some decorative things sitting around them. Use to organize in the bathroom with decorative soaps, some rolled cloths, put a small glass on it with cotton balls or maybe some qtips, and etc. Use to hold business cards, maybe set some of your favorite jewelry on it, use it as a catch all in your entry ways, and so on. Endless possibilities. 

I feel these are fun, enjoyable with many uses, great adorning your home, or given as a unique one of a kind gift too.

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Take care, be safe, and hope to see you again soon. Have a great weekend Everyone!

Repurposed Glass Stand Candle Holder Candy Soap Dish Stand



Repurposed Glass Stand Candle Holder Candy Soap Dish Home Decor

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Monday I showed pictures of some glass pieces that I was going to be repurposing, and restyling. I am happy to say the glue is dry, the pieces have set, and the project is completed. Below you will see pictures of my completed upcycled project using 3 glass pieces.




I shared a picture of this glass piece by itself which is the first picture. The next 2 pictures are just showing a couple of things to do with it. This repurposed restyled glass stand has possibilities. Would be adorable with a table center piece. Set it some where with a candle. Use in the kitchen to hold your rags, soap, sponges, etc. Would be great in the bathroom holding some rolled cloths, some decorative soaps, cotton balls, qtips, maybe in your bedroom holding some of your precious jewelry pieces, etc. Great piece to use for organizing with any room in your home. Endless possibilities for the versatility of this handmade glass stand.

Thanks so much for stopping by LilacsNDreams, and sharing some time with Me. Hope to see you again soon.

Create Do It Yourself Cake Plate Stands

This is something I enjoy doing! So many different ideas for cake plate stands that there is one to fit your style. Cake stands allow you to place more food on the table, and it can be visually appealing too. These pedestal stands are efficient, and are space savers for you too. 

There are so many possibilities for use with these pedestal stands. Of course they make beautiful cake or pastry plate stands. You could use a smaller plate for a birthday cupcake, maybe as a candle holder, for your jewelry, some decorative soaps for your bathrooms, use for your hand soap next to your sink, catch all in your home entry ways, as wedding decor, home decor, napkin holders, and the list is endless. They can also be unique and thoughtful gifts. These stands are simple, modern, and functional for whatever your style may be. 

Many of these cake stands are made with new plates found, thrift store plates found, lonely pieces from a dinner set, some of your favorite vintage plates, and etc. The bases are made from many different pieces too. Consider the popular candle holders, pencil holder, tea or coffee cups, small bowls, and whatever you feel may work when united with the plates. 

Sometimes tier plate stands are made. You can use candle holders for this, or maybe consider doing a little drilling, and using bolts, nuts, threads, and rubber bumpers for the bottoms. 

Some like to paint their stands to get the colors that they want. Paint brass candle holders, glass candle holders, the plates, and etc. If painting you can then consider using some cupcake liners, doilies, or even scrapbook papers for underneath the food. Also consider adding a glass dome to these stands too. 

So so many possibilities that makes it fun. I really enjoy making these pieces myself, and offering them with my shops. Sometimes I keep them simple with the decorative plates I find, and adding the different bases to them. Other times I might had some lace, ribbon, pearls, or other sorts of embellishments as well. I enjoy doing this as some do not have the time to do these things themselves, the patience, or the creativity. As a customer told me once she would rather pay to have them done by someone. 

Search the internet for all the possibilities. See my shops at Ecrater, and Etsy. Don't forget there are many other people who also offer their creative pieces, and can be seen with all of these places too. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you all again soon. Take care, and enjoy being creative!

 Here is another Food Stand organizer shown with organization for the bathroom. This 2 tier food stand organizer has many possibilities for use in the home.
Cupcake Holder, Food Stand Organizer, and the Single Plate Stand is shown here with these pictures. 

Hey, Welcome back to LilacsNDreams, and glad to have you stopping by! Above you will see pictures that I found when in roaming on Pinterest. A lot of my interest over these past few months has been with making these different stands. I adore the many ways that others also share of how they can come together, and what they can actually be considered for with use of them. 

Thinking outside the box is just so much fun when it comes to repurposing, upcycling, recycling, and reusing different pieces, don't you think? All sorts of different pieces can come together to make many things to accompany us with our homes with our decor, and for use too. 

These stands are great for organizing, serving, displaying with, and using as some of our home decor. They are great when used at the table with wedding decor, at bridal showers, and just so many things to consider for their use. 

Most common things you will see these different stands used for is as cake stand, cupcake stand, dessert pedestal stand, etc. Use to serve some cookies, truffles, candies, mints, cake, cupcakes, and some fruit too. Maybe consider them with your home decor as candle holders, soap dishes, in the bathroom with some rolled cloths for your guests, jewelry dish, a catch all for your change, keys, and reading glasses too. Excellent to use for organizing in your kitchens, in the bathrooms, on the dresser and vanities, in your office, and so many endless possibilities. 

So, for all you thrifters and junkers when you are out, and about doing your thing maybe consider finding some pieces to make some of these for your homes, given as gifts, and etc. I enjoy making pieces with endless possibilities to be shared, don't you?

Hey, thanks again for sharing your time here with LilacsNDreams everyone. Happy to have you dropping by, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and have a beautiful week!
