How To: Jewelry Cake Stands

Recently the jewelry box I've had forever broke! I love to see all the pretty pieces and do not prefer to dig for a matching set of earrings, so I decided to try something different. I started displaying my jewelry on cake stands! This way, I can find what I'm looking for easily, and they serve as a decor in our bedroom as well. 

I couldn't find cake stands I loved, so I made a set. There are so few steps to doing this, and the cost was less than $25 for the entire trio!

You will need:

2 Salad Plates (I used these Pioneer Woman Plates)

1 Dinner Plate (I used this Pioneer Woman Plate)

2 Short Candle Holders (I used Milk Glass from Goodwill)

1 Tall Candle Holder (Milk Glass from Goodwill)

Gorilla Glue

Heavy Books for weight

1. Clean all your candle holders and plates, and towel dry. 

2. Flip over one plate and apply gorilla glue in the center of the plate. Gorilla Glue expands, so you only need a circle slightly smaller than the top of the candle holder. 

 3. Carefully press candle holder upside down onto pool of glue. Hold in place for a few moments. Place a heavy book or two on top of the candle holder and allow cake stand to dry. Be sure to follow Gorilla Glue instructions on the bottle. 

Note: As tempting as it may seem if the glue looks dry, do not flip the cake stand over right side up until you have set to dry according to glue instructions. If you flip the stand over too early, glue will drip down the sides of the candle holder and does not come off!

4. Repeat with the other two plates and candle holders. Once all glue is completely dry, flip over, and you have beautiful cake stands!

Set up your stands on a dresser or vanity, and arrange your jewelry as you wish! 

I found this adorable ring dish at Anthropologie, and it coordinates perfectly! My longer, larger necklaces are hung on hooks on the wall. 

I love how my little jewelry set up looks in the room, and everything is organized and easy to find!
