So you know what to look for, these are mostly parts that would hold chandelier crystals. The pink piece below right is part of an old hanging light fixture that had a glass globe underneath. Overlook rust, as you’ll be painting and it won’t matter!

The glass pieces are called bobeches which you’ll often find on chandeliers around the socket. These are vintage and did not have holes for hanging crystals.

This DIY project is so simple…all you need are the lighting parts, some plates, and glue!

You will be gluing your bobeches on to the metal lamp part. Regular glue does not bond well and I recommend either Liquid Nails Construction Adhesive. You’ll need a caulk gun if you use Liquid Nails, but I find this adhesive to be the best for the bond. Let this dry for several hours without moving.

STEP ONE

STEP TWO

Once dry enough to move you can paint. I use spray paint and honestly whatever I have left from previous projects. As always, spray painting should be done in a well ventilated area or outdoors.

STEP THREE

You can choose to glue your plates onto these new stands that you’ve created, or not! I don’t have thrifted plates in my stash at the moment so I used plates that I didn’t want to glue. The stands should be sturdy enough that a cake will sit nicely without an issue, even when slicing.

This easy diy cake stand is my favorite with it’s flirty leggy look. Guest always love these cake stands and are amazed when you explain what they are!
