Cakestand on the Cheap

I've had this post saved in my drafts folder for a while.  So instead of doing homework, I thought I should finish it.

I bought this plate on super clearance at Marshall's for $1.  Originally, I wanted use them for these fantastic wedding invitations for our 3 friends we invited for our City Hall wedding ceremony.  Well, never happened. Oh well. Not a total waste, I found another purpose for them.

When I finally decided to create a mini cake stand, it took forever for me to find a base for the price I wanted to pay.  I scoured the Salvation Army store for a few weeks until I found this for $0.50.  I think it's a sundae cup. 

With some Gorilla glue, I made this.

Yay. Every once in a while, R does remind me every once in a while that I need to be patient and read directions by turning this thing over.  See that brown spot between the glass and plate?  I put too much glue there and didn't realize the glue would almost double in volume when cured.
