One quick trip to your nearest dollar store is all you need.
Supplies
- Dollar Store Plate – You can use a glass plate or a plastic holiday-themed plate.

Remove any stickers and labels from the plate and candle stick holder. Wash and dry the them both well.
Use a ruler to find the center of the plate.
Add a generous bead of glue around the top of the candle stick holder.
Place the candle stick holder in the center of the plate and press well. Once the glue is set, turn the plate over and place a weight on top of the plate. Allow the glue to last as per the directions on the glue.

Susan, I love how you make crafting a possibility for people like me who aren’t crafty by nature. This is easy enough for me to do and so inexpensive!
Lol, Corinne. You know I’m all about simple projects (who has the time or energy for complicated!?). Have fun crafting.
I couldn’t follow the link to the adhesive, but I think this is a great idea! These are so affordable that you could put them together for centerpieces at a function where you need to decorate multiple tables on a tight budget:) Should have thought of that for #NERCPO 2016!
Thanks for letting me know, Seana, I’m going to fix the link now. Great idea about using this cake plate stand for big function decorating. Have fun with it at NERCPO 2017. 🙂
How smart! This would be such a great (and inexpensive) way to gift cookies during the holidays. Thanks for this idea!
You know me, Andrea, I’m all about simple projects that you can be proud of. And this one may just take the cake.
I simply love how creative you are with simple things..I will definately use the cookie idea. That is clever. I have used the same candlestick holder with a round vase and placed marbles around the neck of it and filled with candy or fake poinsettias….Pretty..
Thanks, Peggy. 🙂 I’m definitely going to give your vase idea a try. You know how much I adore repurposing items.
Loved your cake stand idea. Will make a few for gifts!
Thanks, Carol. The cake stand really is easy to create and makes great gifts.
Thanks so much for your service and for your wonderful ideas! Will have to make these for everyone this year! Love them!!!
Thank you! Have fun creating and gift. 🙂 Send me a photo of the cake plates you make, I’d love to see it!
I would love cooking food and baking Christmas and other also
This plate is so cute. Easy to make for every holiday. Makes a great gift.
Thank you, Pearl. I love using mine every holiday season. Have fun crafting and gifting!
Yes where did you get the snowman from
I found it as the dollar store, Judy. That was several years ago, but they usually have a variety of Christmas designs this time of year.
