I have this brilliant friend in creativity and kindness. She is a gifted jewelry maker and is fond of all things innovative and fun. At a recent trunk show I finally clued-in that the beautiful cake plates that she uses to display her vintage items were in fact for sale, at a very great price I might add, but also that she had actually made them.

Jade was here last night creating yet again, so I asked her if I could write about this fabulous idea that she found in a magazine years ago. This morning I got to work and made a whole trove of these beautiful plates for under $10.

First hit the junk stores and find odd candlesticks and plates that you like. Next purchase the appropriate glue. There are a few on the market that will work very well.

E6000

Dazzle Tac

Loctite Ultra

These particular ones are designed to be shock proof, water resistant and able to stick quickly.

Spread a bead of glue on the edge of the candlestick and center the plate, let it dry completely. Viola!! Wonderful repurposed objects turned into a gift or treasure for your own table.

Please let me know if you make these, I would love to see your own creation!
