{DIY}: Chandelier cake and cupcake stand

Aside from my busy schedule making a castle cake, 50 cake pops and a quilted cake for this weekend, I was so enlighten seeing this cupcake stand.  I have been in search for a unique cupcake stand lately and this one definitely won my heart. Who would ever thought an old chandelier can be a cake stand….kudos to Jaimie Nye who thought of this idea,

Do you agree with me that this cake / cupcake stand is just gorgeous?

Materials:

• Old chandelier
• Wire cutters
• Super glue
• Wooden craft circles
• Curvy plate
• Primer
• Spray paint
• Pearl trim or ribbon

Instructions:
First snip off all the wires with wire cutters and unscrew the top.

Next, super glue wooden circles onto the legs. Then glue a curvy plate to the top.

Once the glue is set, take the chandelier outside and give it a good coat of primer. Yes, coating it with primer is very important to get a perfect and true color paint later on. Then spray paint it with your choice of color…The pink in the picture used a dusty light pink. Once it is all dry, decorate the circle plate with pearls or ribbon.

and now you can show off this stand in your next party.  I know I will.
