I should have titled this craft 1-2-3 SNAP!!! That's how ridiculously easy it was putting this display/serving stand together. What makes it even more incredible is the cost.....$7.47!!!
Here's the breakdown:
- $3.99 for the cloche and base from Goodwill (didn't use base)
- $.50 for the plate from IKEA (as-is department)
- $2.98 for the candle stand from Hobby Lobby (80% off aisle)
- Candle stand
- Glass cloche
- Plate
- Titebond III Wood Glue
- Markers (optional)
Before you start.....make sure the plate and candle stand are clean. The candle stand I used had a couple of dings that I covered up with a black marker.
Have your plate upside down on your work surface.
Run a bead of glue all around the top of the candle stand.
Carefully position glue-side down onto the bottom of the plate.....making sure that it's centered. If you're Anal Annie like me, then you can measure all the way around so everything will be perfect. Dab up any excess glue that may have splooched out.
Now this is the hard part.....LEAVE IT ALONE TO DRY!!! The glue I used suggests leaving it be for one hour to set properly. After that.....display to your heart's content!!! By the way.....I'm really digging the fleur-de-lis.....so ooh la la!

Creative idea!

So pretty!!! What a good idea :)
Great project! It is hard waiting for stuff to dry...:)
I understand the concept, but it's your personal choices and personal touch that made this one darn exceptional and you must know that.
You get an A+ missy!!!
Nice stand! Isn't it great when you can repurpose things like that.
looks great! I've been on the lookout for a great cloche/cheese dome, but my thrift store only has plastic ones...bleck
Nice job, love the stand
Very pretty! I, too, like the fleur-de-lis. This reminds me that I have a cheese dome in the cabinet that I never use! I've been looking for a cloche...now I can have one!
Love it! I love the fleur, too!
Nice job!! How come I didn't see those at HL??? :)
Thanks everybody for the kind words!!! Honestly, this was one of the most incredibly easy crafts I've done...but with wonderful results!
All Thingz Related...head back to your HL, it may still be there!
Angie...as soon as I saw it on the shelf I grabbed it immediately!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing with Made it Monday! Jules
That looks so good! I've been looking for a cloche at Goodwill but so far, no luck:(
Very Pretty! Great job - thanks for sharing the how to.
Love it! I scored an awesome basket on the 80% off aisle at Hobby Lobby. Haven't figured out what I'll do with it yet... But thank you for the inspiration!!
I love these kind of easy projects that have great "wow" factor! nice re-make!
How beautiful and creative. I love the fleur de lis too! So pretty...
Thanks for sharing!

A very creative idea. Love it!
Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy! It turned out great! I'm -still- haunting Goodwill for a cheese dome, because I SO want to make one similar to this, and it's been months since I've started looking.
Thank you so much for linking up with the Talented Tuesday link party at My Frugal Family, which is hosted every Tuesday. Please feel free to stop back in every week and post your newest projects!
That looks awesome. I really like the black with a cloche. Great project!
excellent project! I have the sudden urge to scour the clearance aisles at my craft stores... :)
Love it...very neat
Beautiful! Just LOVE the candlestick you used as a base. Gorgeous.
Gorgeous! And I love Ikea so on my next visit, I'm getting those plates! =)
very well done.
good for you.
That is beautiful, and I agree! Oooh La La!
soo super cute! I have all the stuff to make this. Just might have to do this. Don't you just love the 80% off aisle at HL? My husband always rolls his eyes when I beg him to stop. For some reason, the only time I am ever on that side of town is with him. I really need to change that. Anyway-great idea!
Wonderful job! Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us!
Blessings, Grace
love it- it turned out absolutely beautiful!!
This is the best cloche project I've seen. Now I want one.
What an adorable idea. I have a cloche I also purchased from goodwill, but it was pretty boring looking. Now, you gave me inspiration. I'm your newest follower. Hope you can stop by Blissful Chaos to check it out!!
Super cute! I have been seeing this done in various versions, I really like the idea!
Very OOOhlala!! You give great instructions too! Thanks for the tips. I have a cheese board with that cloche top from my 1981 wedding gift. I am going to create this weekend!
Just beautiful....great idea to share with us!
Very pretty and a great idea...so creative. Come by and visit sometime. Sandra
I love the detailing on the bottom, it looks so pretty! Good work!

I think I might have to give this a wirl!
