Decorative cupcake stand
Decorative cupcake stand
You will need:
- Araldite ceramic glue
- Cupcake candle holder
- Fleur De Lys cup and saucer
- Fleur De Lys salad plate
Instructions
- Glue the bottom of the teacup to the bottom of the plate and leave to dry.
- Glue the cupcake candle holders to the top of the plate.
I love the cake stands made from teacups and adorned with fake cakes that Wendy McLachlan makes for Anthropologie. See my Anthropologie photos on flickr for more pics.
So, when I spied some of the cupcake candle holders in the sale basket at Anthropologie my mind started buzzing with ideas! The candle holders were a bit battered and missing their candles but with a clean, soak and some replacement candles they would work just fine. I headed over to the dinnerware and played about with the cupcake candle holders with various plate, cup combo's. In the end I opted for the Fleur de Lys plate and tea cup. After making my decorative cake stand I just had to go back to Anthropologie and buy the Fleur de Lys pitcher to use as a vase. They are currently adorning my dining table.
Have a sweet day!
revelling in rubbish
Renting in a wealthy suburb has it's perks. Ours has two rubbish collection days (March and September) with the kind of roadside finds that hardly qualify as rubbish. OK, I'm proud to admit I'm a bit of scavenger. Last year, we found this children's picnic table that also doubles as a photo prop. Now those little curbside garbage piles are popping up again and I'm getting excited. How about you? Have you ever scored a great roadside find?
