I love homemade things!
I love homemade gifts.
I love making homemade gifts with the girls.
I love giving homemade gifts!
This year, for Christmas, we’re giving homemade gifts to everyone, except the kids. I have a few ideas, but yes, this is one. {So if you are a relative, stop reading this post! Seriously. Don’t spoil the surprise! Log off NOW!}
Okay, family members??? Are you gone??
Just to be safe….
Hmmm ……..
It’s hopefully safe now. 😉 If not, it’s your own fault for spoiling the surprise, MOM!
Okay.
I know you’ll love this DIY homemade gift idea … it’s SUPER AMAZINGLY cute and really, really easy to do!!
Homemade cake stands. I saw this on pinterest and loved the idea.
All you need is glue … (which I bought at the local craft store)…
… a few plates that you have collected (I bought mine at the local thrift store, antique store and one at the Dollar Store) …
a few candle stick holders … (purchased at the Salvation Army thrift store and some from the Dollar Store)…
Circle the candle stick holder with the glue …
press the plate down onto the glue … let it dry for 24 hours and voila!
A super gorgeous cake stand! You can use a teacup platter and make it a cupcake stand, as well. TOO cute!
You can customize according to the colour of what your friend or relative would really like or to the style of their home.
Simple! Lovely! Elegant! And VERY cost efficient. The glue cost me $7.75, most of the candle holders were .75 cents and the plates ranged from .50 cents to $2.00. Not bad!
Christmas doesn’t have to be overly expensive – you just need to get a little creative … 🙂
