Cake Plate Pedestal Stand Handmade Repurposed

Cake Plate Pedestal Stand Handmade Repurposed Restyled DIY

Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! When I started with handmade and repurposing I really enjoyed making cake plates pedestal stands. I enjoyed searching, thrifting, and hunting for many pieces that I could unite to make these wonderful treasures to offer for those who bought them. I would find dinner plates, sandwich plates, sectional plates, bowls, single pieces from sets, and the possibilities were endless. For the bases I would use candle holders, goblets, cups, mugs, and again so many possibilities. I bought many pieces that looked like new, different colors, different shapes, and had fun with it. Once I cleaned everything I would set them out, and then look at all of the pieces. Bit by bit I would start pairing pieces to unite them into one. I took my time, tried to be selective, and once I was content with some of the pedestal stands I would then do displays to picture them, and offer them with different platforms I was associated with then. I enjoyed showing pictures of the pedestal stands as they were, and I had fun staging the pieces to show the possibilities of how they could be used. Sometimes I felt me sharing that would help people see the possibilities, and maybe be creative with some of their thoughts for uses too. 

I really enjoyed showing pictures of how the stands looked after they were united. One of the ways I did displays with these pedestal cake stands was to show how some of them, with the right base, could be turned over/upside down for uses too. Pictures above here are showing what I am describing. 

Now the pictures below show how dinner plates, small sandwich snack plates, and a few different sized bowls could be united with candle holders for their bases. Sometimes I might add some lace, little ribbon bows, colored beads, etc to dress the piece a little more with its own character. I had times where colored glass pieces United beautifully with decorative pieces too. 

As I had mentioned before I enjoyed uniting pieces, and being creative with different ideas. It was fun, and I took pleasure in creating the treasures too. I am happy to say I did get quite a few compliments with pieces sold. Everyone enjoyed them for themselves, and some were given as gifts as well too. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams, and letting me share these treasures with you too. I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Hope to see you again. Always feel free to leave a comment, and share with us here as well. Take care till the next time.
