for cupcakes, pies, petit fours, etc.
then painted in bright, colorful patterns.
This one started with two thrift store wooden pineapple candle holders,
the bottom is an inverted wooden bowl.
I cut the middle plate from plywood and used a ceramic knob on the inside
of the pineapple on top to cover the hole where the candle would go.
The base of this one is a wooden lamp and I cut the wavy top
out of plywood then painted.
The curvy base had lots of areas to add fun paint designs.
Another wavy top I cut from plywood and painted in
a whimsical harlequin pattern.
The base is one of a pair of wooden candlesticks...
I used the other candlestick on this lemon server...
Another wavy top painted in a blue lemon pattern.
This started as a plain wooden bowl that you always see at thrift stores.
I primed and painted in a fun orange zinnia pattern...
I added a smaller, inverted wooden bowl for a "base".
And lastly, another wooden bowl thrift find that had a lid and
looked like a flower so that's how I painted it.
I painted the inside in a pretty blue with polka dots :)
These were so fun to create and put together.
Thanks for stopping by to see them!

What a great idea-love these cake plates-do you have an etsy shop?
ReplyDeleteNo, no Etsy. I have a space at a local gallery here called Big Mama's Hula Girl Gallery....just as fun as the name sounds!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are fantastic! I've been wanting to make whimsical stands for a while but kept looking for wooden chargers, using just plain wood cut into fun shapes is a perfect idea... thank you so much for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruthie, glad you liked them, if you make some send me a link!....just checked out your blog and loving your bookshelf installation...can't wait to see it all finished. Oh and I dig that "spine" Halloween candlestick...very cool!
