Cake Stand

I'm sure everyone has seen the DIY cake stands all over the internet... well here is mine! 

I bought a candle stick from the dollar store and a plate as well. So the total thing cost me $2...I had the gorilla glue and paint on hand already.

I decided to use the blue turquoise paint because...well...I just love the color and it's totally in right now!! 

I wish that I had used spray paint or even a sponge brush...but all I had on hand was a paint brush and you could see the strokes. Oh well...I can't be perfect people!!! I'm on a budget!! 

I did 2 coats of the paint and used some high gloss spray paint because I didn't like the flat look of the paint when it was dry, I wanted gloss!

I took the gorilla glue and put it around the top of the candle holder and applied my plate. 

Because in my experience with Gorilla Glue, it sometimes drips if you have too much. So I take a coffee filter and wrap it around the bottom to catch the glue.

And the finished product -- not the best pictures, but I had some screaming kids that wanted my attention. I'm going to give it as a gift to my friend -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGHAN!!  I also bought her a cake because at 29 you don't get a cake anymore...which isn't really fare! So I bought her one and the hubby and I are going over there tonight!! Yay!!!
