Hand Painted Whimsical Wooden Cake Plates Made from Candlesticks, Wooden Lamps and Wood Pieces

These are all fun hand painted cake stands or serving trays
for cupcakes, pies, petit fours, etc.

I made them using various wooden pieces and parts
then painted in bright, colorful patterns.


pineapple serving stand
 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.

a whimsical harlequin pattern.

Another wavy top painted in a blue lemon pattern.

hand painted wooden bowls
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.

  2. No, 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!

  3. Wow, 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!

I've moved to Lucydesignsart.com to focus on my mosaic art. I'm no longer creating dragonflies or mermaids.
