I made this cake plate for Khloe's 1st birthday party back in September 2013. I needed two tiered cake plates for my table arrangement and I wasn't about to pay $30 each for them. So, I was in Dollar Tree looking around one day and the idea struck me. I could take two plates and a vase and make a cake plate! I love it when the stars align.
I chose 1 large round platter...
1 smaller platter...
And 1 skinny, single rose vase. I chose a sturdier one, not a glass one.
They were all kinds of mismatched, but it didn't matter.
I used Gorilla glue to attached together. Large platter on bottom, vase in the middle and smaller platter on top.
After the glue was dry, I spray painted the whole thing white to make everything cohesive.
I used these cake plates for Khloe's birthday party last year and again this year. I couldn't be happier with them.
So, as far as pricing goes-
Large platter: $1
Small platter: $1
Vase: $1
Gorilla Glue & spray paint: already owned
Grand total: $3
