DIY Wooden Cake Stand

July 19, 2019

This easy DIY can double as decor as well as a great wooden cake stand. I also found a glass cloche at Goodwill that fits perfect on it!

DIY Wood Cake Stand

Author: goldenivyhome
Cost: $20

Equipment

  • Nail Gun
  • Power Drill and Drill Bit
  • Tape Measure

Materials

  • 1 Short Furniture Leg
  • 1 Round Wood Plaques – 4"
  • 1 Round Wood Plaques – 5"
  • 12in Round Wood Panel
  • 2.5in Screw
  • Wood Glue
  • Stain of Choice
  • Annie Sloan White Wax
  • 2 Paintbrushes
  • Rags

Instructions

  • Use the tape measure and find the center of the 12in wooden round. Using a drill bit slightly smaller than than the screw on the furniutre leg, drill halfway through the 12in round.
  • Add some wood glue around the screw on the furniture leg and screw the furniture leg into the 12in round until it fits tight.
  • Using the tape measure mark the center on the 4in and 5in round plaques.
  • Drill a hole all the way through both of the plaques and partially into the bottom of the furniture leg.
  • Add some wood glue to both of the plaques around the holes and to the bottom of the leg.
  • Take your 2.5in screw and screw the 5in into the 4in up into the leg until it is tight.
  • Using your paintbrush, apply the stain to the whole cake stand. Let the stain soak in and then wipe back any remaining stain with a clean rag.
  • Once the stain has dried apply the Annie Sloan White Wax to the leg and plaques with a brush. Let sit for a few minutes then take a clean rag and wipe off the excess.
  • I then applied a buther block sealer to the top of the cake stand to protect it.

Notes

I still always cut a round piece of parchment to lay down before I put my food on it.
