DIY Gorgeous Cake Stands

You can convert or repurpose your basic flower pots and saucers into lovely dessert stands with these simple and easy steps.

Materials Needed: 12″ saucer, ruler, a 4″ pot, super glue, pink chalk paint, gray chalk paint, white paint, water, paintbrush, painter’s tape, gold liquid gilding, sanding block, alphabet stamps, ink pad, food-safe wax and cloth.

Now let’s do it.

First, measure and mark on the center of the 12-inch saucer.

Then, attach the 4-inch pot to the center mark of the saucer with super glue.

Let it dry overnight.

Once the pot is fixed with saucer, start painting the pot with pink chalk paint and let it dry. Once the paint gets dried flip it and start painting the saucer with gray chalk paint.

Mix two thirds white paint and one-third water, and paint the saucer again.

Then cover the rim of the saucer with painter’s tape and coat the outer edge in gold liquid gilding. Let it dry and then remove the tape.

Lightly distress the top with sandpaper until the gray paint and terra-cotta peek through.

Next, add a cute line with the alphabet stamps and ink pad.

Use a cloth to buff on food-safe wax over both the saucer and the pot.

Your new cake stand is ready to serve.
