Blueberry Lemonade - Shabby Chic cake plate

I have seen a few examples online of handmade cake plates, and for about 3 months, I scoured shops - junk, vintage, consignment - looking for components to make my own.  I finally gave up.  That is when I literally stumbled onto the two pieces I used to make my own Shabby Chic cake plate.

I wish now I had taken pictures before..........I will know better for next time.

I used a wooden candlestick that had one of those pins in it to secure the candle.  With a lil force, I removed the pin and then spray painted.  I sprayed on a thin layer of varnish to seal.  Then, I glued the plate on the top using gorilla glue.  I have used this cake plate for almost everything lately.

My quest is to make several more this summer and upload to my etsy store.
