Last week I went to a church yard sale and got a candlestick and a cake platter for F-R-E-E (awesome!) and knew right away they were a match made in craft heaven.
I kept seeing these cute posts about cloches (like here at A Little Stone House and here at Tattered and Ink'd) and thought, "Suhweet! I can do that!" so with a bit of Rust-oleum Heirloom white spray paint and Liquid Nails...
... viola!
My version of a cloche:

I also recently discovered THIS darling site {Fresh Poppy Design} and saw these creative sisters idea of spray painting a plain jane cake stand:
Clever!
My cake stand base is kind of grandma looking so I copycatted and just L.O.V.E the end result!

Thanks for the idea gals ;)
Note: I still use mine for food by simply putting a paper doily or wax paper underneath the dessert ;)

Wow that is pretty awesome! Now I wanna go thrifting so I can make one ^_^ im addicted to glass domed things...
ReplyDeleteIf ya feel like it link up to our party it ends today though so you have to be quick www.bugcreator.blogspot.com Hope to see ya there!
Yay! A fellow Arizonaian! Thanks for the shout out and for becoming a follower! My blog is still a baby, so I appreciate all the support I can get! You have such cute ideas on your blog, I'm going to cross-follow you too! :) Drop by again sometime, and have a lov-a-lee day!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cloche...and I'm glad that I now know that's what it's called-I always called it a cake plate. :) I like that it's kind-of tall. If you put it next to the other cake plate you spray painted, it would make a cute serving station for a party table, like a grouping of desserts. Does that even make sense?!?
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kel!
Very clever! I also love getting stuff for free but I don't always know what to do with it, at least not right away.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and no, I don't think its too tall! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from bug creator...

ReplyDeleteWOW! Love these both & no the 1st one is not too tall. Lucky you to score such great deals for FREE! I'm jealous. Thanks for he idea!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have to get my hands on one of those cute cloches!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute! I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous. I must live in the one place where cheese domes do not end up in the thrift store. I want to make some of these and no domes, cake plates or big bowls even to be found!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Kel! I just made one because of this post. The glue is drying... hope it turns out just as cute. Mine cost about $10, since I didn't have the paint or glue. And the glass dome was at Goodwill for $3. You guys rock! Keep it up!
