Lovely stuff there! I have been looking for a new cake stand to store my distress stains and glimmer mist bottles in but havent found one yet (my other one is in the bathroom and I cant pinch it as I have nowhere else to put the shampoos!) - love what you have done with the quilted paper - I am preparing mine for a layout for my class at my crop in May. Thanks for commenting on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI can make you one if you let me know what colours you want.
DeleteHow did you make the cake stand? Am Intrigued.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet #1 x
You can buy a kit and you will need drill bits to go through ceramic. Then very very carefully after measuring for the centre point you drill through the plates and add the cakestand sections. Taa-daah done!
DeleteThe hardest bit for me is chosing the right plates in the first place ie. size, design, colour, price.
Thanks for looking

ReplyDeleteI love all that new stash and look forward to seeing the doodly birds when they land! Am now following you. Take care & enjoy this weeks WOYWW snoop. Zo xx 17
ReplyDeleteLOVE your cakestands - that's so clever!! I read your answer above to Neet - is it hard to do? I would have thought the plate would crack while you were drilling.... I'm inspired...(I can hear my hubby groaning at the thought of another madcap inspiration... :D )
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #7 xx
Some plates are harder to drill than others. I think it depends on how porous they are. I actually don't know which work better than others. So my theory is to get them as cheap as possible then it doesnt matter to much. The tiniest one on the stand was the hardest and it broke the drill bit.
DeleteSame happens in our house, although saying that he just accepts everything now. Even the piece of driftwood I put on the back of the bathroom door as a towel rail. :-)
Love all the new goodies and the cake stands are great - thanks for sharing - Hazel, WOYWW #85 x
ReplyDeleteGreat 'upcycling' Lynn, and a great home for the doodly bird badges! Gracious you have a lot of products there to paint and finish....does it inspire or frighten you to do it!!
ReplyDeleteLove it Julia. I keep to small numbers of each product to keep them unique and so that I can keep experimenting. I am going to try some larger pictures soon.
DeleteI've got my iPad on a book stand now after seeing yours. The husband was well impressed when he walked in. Thanks for the idea. X

I've seen similar cake stands on pinterest.... very cool! The wedding invitations will be a sure hit, I'm sure. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree, some of your doodly birds would look great with my bird canvas..... heee What size are those canvases? 4 x 4? My bird is on a 5 x 7 (I think) and I really like that size. I'm planning to get some more this weekend.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

Hi Kay, the canvassses are only 70cm x 70cm or if you like me only work in inches they are just short of 3"x3". Teeny tiny ones.
DeleteLynn your workdesk looks great, love the cakestands they are so unique and so beautiful, lovely wedding invites.

ReplyDeleteLove your workspace. I am going around getting bright light envy on WOYWW this week. I don't have a bright window in my craft space and I wish I did! Great looking stands to hold your bits and pieces. How did you drill through them without breaking them? Thanks for visiting my blog. Vickie #32

Oh my, but that is a lot of new stash to play with. Love the new home for the birds.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Really lovely cake stands - and what a great idea using them to hold craft bits and bobs - ingenious!
ReplyDeleteThe cake stands are great. Is it hard to drill a hole without things cracking? do you need a special bit? ...

Some plates are harder than others but you don't know until you start drilling. Yes you can get them on Amazon. Put some masking tape over where you are going to drill. Just take it slowl.
DeleteThank you for popping in.

Aha, I found the right post in the end. Those plates look amazing. Getting around everyone eventually. Happy WOYWW #45
