Finally a justification for collecting random pieces of tableware! Yipeee!
This sweet and easy DIY by Kira at Tangarang shows you one of the simplest and most fun ways to make use of any miscellaneous crockery and unused vessels you may have lying around [i've recently been bullied into giving a huge amount of mine away - no matter now I shall by some more!]. These DIY cakestands would also make an excellent gift for someone, can you imagine how delighted the receiver would be?
It would also be really cool to see these made with more contemporary pieces – like a melamine plate from Supernice. Thanks Kira!
You will need
[1] An array of plates of your choice.
[2] An array of cups/vases/candlesticks to use as bases.
[3] Epoxy resin or a strong adhesive glue.
[4] Tape measure.
Step 1
Pick out plates and bases. I’ve seen candlesticks, vases and teacups all used as bases. I went for a goldish theme and found a bunch of great stuff at my local charity shops.
Step 2
Match plates to bases, remembering that plates should sit stably on the base [with the narrow end of the base touching the plate].
Step 3
Measure the diameter of the underside of the plate to determine its center. Mark the center.
Step 4
Using epoxy resin, adhere plate to base with plate face down.
Step 5
Let dry overnight.
Step 6
Ta Da!
