Instant cake plate tutorial- no glue!

When I found this metal plate in Ikea in the candle department I knew it would make such a fabulous cake plate. They come in two sizes..this large size and small ones so you could make some for cupcakes too!

The white candle holders are also from Ikea in the same department…they were meant to be together 🙂 they come in two different heights and they come in black too!

I didn’t want this to be permanent so I found this tacky putty stuff at Hobby Lobby and globbed a bunch all around the base. It looks like gum doesn’t it?

Both the plate and the candle holder come with the soft fabric on the bottoms..no scratches on the tables!

Press the base into the center of the plate. This stuff is strong!!! I love it!

I’ve used them to hold dinner plates, desserts, vases filled with flowers…they work perfectly and when I need to use each piece separately…they just pull apart and I pull off the tacky stuff. The napkins and braided napkin rings are from this awesome Etsy shop called Izy and Oly…GORGEOUS things are for sale over in her shop!!! I will be doing a tablescape using these napkins and some of her placemats coming up soon…you will love it! All handmade and beautiful quality!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

I love this Karin! I have trouble with permanent, I do love flexibility and change! Thank you, and who can live without HL :)

This is such a cute idea! I love combining two "lovely-on-their-own" pieces into something else that is just too cute and fun. Hmmm? A run to IKEA may be on my agenda!
