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

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!

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?
