How to make a beaded cake stand.

My little sister is getting married this year!  I’m really excited for her.  We’re gearing up for her wedding and reception so my brain is buzzing with ideas to help with her small budget.  A little ingenuity and elbow grease can make a tiny budget stretch.  So here’s how to make a beaded cake stand.

I’ve been looking at cake stands lately (a weird obsession of mine).  There are some gorgeous ones on Amazon like this Set of Three White Iron and Glass Cake Stands

I bought my self this Crystal Dangle White Cake and Cupcake Stand
for a photo shoot:

And this is gorgeous,

But boy are they expensive!  So I cooked up this fun little tutorial where you can make yourself a chic looking stand at a fraction of the cost.  You could churn out several of these for a wedding table.  I think that would look amazing! Use candle sticks of different sizes to layer and add dimension to multiple stands.

For this project you will need:

A candle tray (found this one at IKEA)

A candle stick (IKEA again)

E600 glue

Jewelry pliers

earring loops

small jump rings

crystal garland (found in Wedding section of hobby store)

beaded garland (found in Wedding section of hobby store)

Here’s the video tutorial for you:
