Have you seen those marble acacia wood pedestals??? I love them, but I don’t love the price!!! They can get so expensive! One day, while strolling the aisles of Walmart, I spied this melamine plate that looked pretty close to real marble! The best part-it’s only $2.50!!!! And it has a little sister too!!! My frugal wheels started spinning, and I knew immediately what I was going to do with them!!! I bought both the dinner plate, and the salad plate! They would be the perfect addition to a pair of candle holders I already had! Here’s how to make a DIY cake stand!!!

Supplies

Wood candle holder

Melamime plate

Strong glue, like Gorilla glue

Step 1: Flip the Candle Holder Upside Down

Flip the candle holder upside down so that there is a level surface area to glue to.

Step 2: Glue

Glue around the perimeter of the candle holder and fill in, so that the entire area has glue applied. Use a strong glue, like Gorilla glue.

Step 3: Apply Plate to Candle Holder

Turn the plate upside down, center the candle holder glued side down to the plate, and press down the glued side.

Step 4: Press Down

Press the candle holder down on the upside down plate until it's well set.
