Homemade cake stand

I spotted a project in Your Home magazine about a year ago to make your own cake stand and since then I've been on the look out for plates and glasses to do this with. I bought the glasses from a charity shop soon afterwards for £2 but didn't get the plates until last week in the Dunelm sale. The line was being discontinued so each of the plates cost 99p and the saucer on top - which was supposed to have a cup with it but didn't - was 50p.

So I finally sat down to make my cake stand and I'm rather pleased with the result.

It was so simple to make I want to make it again but there's only so many cake stands a girl needs!
