West Elm inspired Cake Stand: Make this easy handmade decor in just a few minutes with dollar store supplies for Halloween!

Howdy! I’m back in Texas doing wedding planning for my sister and spending precious last moments with my grandmother.

When I was looking for pretty and modern Halloween decor in my “go to” spots, I fell in love with a glossy black cake stand from West Elm.   Everything about it was perfection except for the price tag.  $69 wasn’t exactly in my budget…. but the Dollar Tree always is!

Check out how I made my own glossy black cake stand for under $10. (Actually, a whole two whopping buckaroos!)

West Elm Inspired Cake Stand

Supplies:

Candle stick holder and glass dinner plate from Dollar Tree

Glossy Black Spray Paint (I used a matte black because we already had a can in the garage…)

Super Glue

 Learn from my mistake: Paint, then glue! (Otherwise you will have a clear circle in the middle of the plate.)

Step one: Place the plate and candle holder upside down on a newspaper/drop cloth outside.  Spray paint a few light coats.

Step two: Once completely dry, line the top rim of the candle holder with glue and center the plate on top.

Tip:  Don’t spray paint the top of the glass plate.  The black paint will show through the glass and it will still be food safe!  It also has a lovely glossy layer. 🙂

Doesn’t my gilded pumpkin look spooktacular on it? 😉

It’s a perfect last-minute handmade decor item for your Halloween party or decor! See how I used it for my Witches Tea here.
