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!

Cake Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand Christmas Fall Upcycled Dishware






Cake Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand Christmas Fall Holiday Handmade Upcycled Dishware

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! The pictures you see above are for a few more Cake Cupcake Plate Stands that I have made, and are listed with my Shoppe at Etsy. I really enjoy making these! I collect pieces over time, or sometimes I find them to unite right away. Once in a while I will find pieces new which I will note in my listings. Most of the time pieces are considered used, but a lot of them will look like new. Either they weren’t used at all, or have very minimal usage to make it hard to see any signs of use. I take pleasure, and joy in being able to offer items like this in the conditions that I can offer them to you.

I’ve had fun making those that can be used for Christmas time. You will also see I have a full sized cake plate stand being offered with some adorable fall colors! The plate, but also the glass stand really resemble fall, Halloween, thanksgiving time, etc. So shiny, so clean, and looks so much like new! 

I fight temptation of keeping these treasures for myself. Yes, I admit others are offering these cake cupcake plate stands too. I enjoy seeing what others have to offer, and with some I am very much inspired by them. I like to think that with some of mine you can see how just a little more thought, and feeling goes into making some of them. 

I do have another plate stand I will be sharing the next time I stop by here. That particular stand was made with 2 vintage Fenton pieces I united to make this piece unique for someone to have. 

Thanks so much for stopping by LilacsNDreams! Hope you enjoyed the visit, and please feel free to stop by anytime. Love the company, and the visits. Don’t be shy, and know you can drop a line to say Hi at anytime. Till the next time my friends...Toodles!

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!

Thrift Store Yard Sale Goodwill Transformations With Repurposing


 Thrift Store Yard Sale Goodwill Transformations With Repurposing.

Hello Everyone, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! So, how was Labor Day Weekend? Did you all enjoy? It wasn't bad here. I always look forward to seeing a good friend of mine, and being able to share things we like to do, answer questions, give ideas, and all of the fun girl stuff.

As most of you know I enjoy Thrift Stores, Yard Sales, Goodwill, Salvation Army, and any discount place I kind find pieces to work with. Some pieces I find I will collect, display, or sell as is. Other pieces are involved with one of my favorite things to do which is to repurpose, and upcycle. There is sooo much out there to see, to do, to create, and what makes it even better is that I enjoy doing it. I enjoy making pieces that become one of a kind for others to enjoy. Right now I have been doing cake cupcake plate pedestal stands. I love glassware, and I have always been selective with my pieces that I find too. I have been slowly adding some of my work into my Ecrater Shop. Along with that shop you will also see pieces at Etsy, and Artfire too. 

I enjoy making cake cupcake plate pedestal stands. I have made a 2 tier one, and I have a 3 tier one that I hope to be listing soon as well. There are so many possibilities with these pieces once they are made. How amazing, and the cost of homemade can be so much more cost efficient compared to buying new sometimes too. Anyway....I can easily get carried away with this:) Many suggestions with some of these pieces is to use them in servings with cakes, and cupcakes. Maybe some cookies, or even some sandwiches for those lovely tea party gatherings too. Oh, don't forget you could serve some yummy truffles, candies, mints, and many wonderful snacks for any occasion. 

You can also use these pieces with your home decor too. Use them as candle holders, for center table arrangements, use on your kitchen counters with some soap and scrub pads, use in the bathrooms with rolled cloths and decorative soaps, on your dressers holding some of your favorite jewelry and trinkets, rest your eyeglasses on them when not in use, wonderful on the dressers and vanities. Great to use for organizing things in your home too. Since they are slightly raised you can put things on top, but also under them too. 

Use at weddings at the wedding table, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, holidays, special occasions, give as a gift, and so on, and so on. The list just goes on, and on with all the possibilities. Some of the pieces I have been making have become at times a two-in-one type thing as well. Not only can you have the pedestal stand with things on top, but due to some of the pieces I use you could also consider flipping them over. Upon doing this you can use them as a single candle holder with some flowers around the plate, use it as a single candy dish bowl, and as mentioned endless possibilities. When they are sitting right side up I once in a while like to set a flicker candle under some of the glasses, goblets, and glass pieces that have been used with bigger openings. 

Below are some pictures of pieces I have done. Some of my first pieces I made some of them had lace, ribbon bows, pearl strands, and etc on them. Yes, I still have some pieces I am working on that will have some lace on them to give a little more character. But, each piece is different, and is always made in the way I am inspired at the time of creating.  To see more pictures, details, and so on visit the places mentioned that they are listed with. Any questions, make sure you contact Me, ok?

 Green 2 Tier Cupcake Candle Plate Glass Pedestal Stand is listed with my shop at Etsy. I used 2 salad plates that are like new, and attached with a glass candle holder. 

I am happy with how this piece turned out using vintage salad plates, and a glass candle holder that attaches them. Pink Rose 2 Tier Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand Vintage Inspired is listed with my shop at Artfire.


These 2 pictures are for a Stoneware Cupcake Plate Amber Glass Pedestal Stand that is listed with my shop at Etsy. Picture above is generally how you see them. This 2nd picture shows how you can flip it over, and use it in a more distinctive way too. 2 for 1 as I often call some of them.

This piece is a bit different as I used a glass bowl, a glass candle holder, some lace, and some ribbon. This Glass Candy Dish Candle Holder Pedestal Stand is listed with my shop at Ecrater. Visit to see all pictures, and details for this item. 
This is very similar to the piece above with the amber glass that has 2 pictures. Different decorative plate with this, and a gorgeous green glass pedestal makes this Green Cake Cupcake Plate Glass Pedestal Stand that is listed in my Ecrater Shop. 

 Taylor Smith Taylor Cupcake Cake Plate Pedestal Stand was repurposed by Me, and is listed with my shop at Ecrater. Visit to see more pictures, and details of this adorably vintage inspired piece.
 Glass Chandelier Candle Holder Repurposed Lighting Brown Glass was a fun piece to make. Used a chandelier light cover, and attached it to a green saucer. Visit Artfire for more pictures, and details of this item.
 Blue White Cake Cupcake Plate Blue Glass Pedestal Stand was one of my 1st pieces made using a dinner plate, and a vintage cobalt blue glass goblet. Hmmm, possibilities. See listing at Artfire.  Below this picture is another picture that goes with this same listing.

This picture actually is with the one above is which shows how this can be turned over, and used in this way too. Don't you just love all the possibilities of these pieces?
 Ok, this one is not listed yet. The pictures have been done, and revised for listings. Now, to get in there, and get it done. I used a glass dish that has the sawtooth rim design, and attached it to a small glass candle holder. Very simple, but yet cute and would be very nice with all it's uses in home decor too. 

This is yet another picture that will not be offered for sale. The glass bowl is a vintage indiana piece that will be given to my sister for her birthday along with the 2 tall glass cylinder candle holders that you are seeing. I have some of these glass cylinder candle holders at home that are a bit taller for each side of a pink glass lamp I have with a glass globe. My sister fell in love with them. So......I went shopping, and found these pieces to put together for her. In them I will add some berries air freshner pieces that look like berries too. Then, probably add some white candle in with that too. Below is just another picture for better viewing by showing one of the pieces without the flash used. 
  
 I know, a lot of pictures and I do hope it did not slow the page down for anyone as it was loading. Most of these items have been listed with my shops, will be listed, or as mentioned is being used in gift giving for a family member.
