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!

Milk Glass Collectibles of White Blue Pink Green are amazing vintage pieces that have become more beautiful over time. Milk Glass was first made, or originated in Venice in the 16th century. The Venetians made the glass opaque, or translucent in several different colors. Those consisted of white, blue, pink, green, and yellow. The white color can be achieved through the addition of a tin oxide, or a bone ash. The name milk glass is a relatively recent name for this glass which is blown, or also seen pressed into a wide variety of shapes too. Milk Glass is still considered a luxury item, and is such a sweet collectible to have too. One good thing is that it can be very easy to fit into any type of life style that you may have. 

Sometimes you will see people using maybe some clear glass, and painting it into the colors of milk glass that they would like for their homes, and their decor. They do this to be creative, or maybe because they cannot find the shape that they are looking for too. 

Milk Glass can be decorative, gorgeous with some flowers, and sometimes some of the pieces have a shape of their own that nothing else is needed to show with it. Above you will see pictures shown as examples of the different colors, and styled that can be seen on the internet with various shops and websites. Some of the pieces found can be vintage, unknown makers, and some come from such names as Fenton, Westmoreland, Fire King, Jeannette Glass Company, and many others too. 

Doesn't milk glass just have some wonderful styles, shapes, and some yummy colors? How festive it can be for different celebrations, using in your home decor, sometimes some of the pieces are repurposed and upcycled as I have done with some, and versatile pieces to adorn many rooms in the home.
