Pinup Wreath

Anyone looking for a unique idea to display holiday cards?  Yarah Designs simply loves this pinup wreath from Martha Stewart. 

Decorate a wall or an interior door by hanging a holiday-card wreath. Using wood glue, affix miniature wooden clothespins to a large (about 14-inch-diameter) embroidery hoop. Alternate clothespins to point outward and inward, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. Suspend from a ribbon, and clip your cards in place as you receive them.

Put your party on a Pedestal!

Yarah Designs simply loves cake stands and cake pedestals.  What is a great cake without a pretty way to display.  They add a lovely touch to any dessert, food display or drink table.  They actually add that special touch to anything you choose to place atop them. Cake stands add dimension and height to any table.  The eyes eat first, and a food spread is always more appealing when it’s presented with creativity and care.  Unique stands can be bought just about anywhere but our personal favorite are the handmade and vintage stands abound Etsy.  Burlap and Blue have some unique stands that are sure to add life to your next party.

You can even find some beautiful stands through Amazon like this Rosanna Decor Bon Bon Footed Stand in Pink.  How darling!

Cake Stand Tutorial - Make it yourself!

Can you believe that these cake stands are DIY.  Yarah Designs found these featured on Eat Drink Pretty and just had to share this project.  Jennue of A Well Crafted Party put together this write up on how to create one of these colorful cake stands.  They are fabulous and can be done in a variety of colors!

Materials needed:

• 1 plate
• 1 candle stick or goblet
• Epoxy
• 1 heavy book
• 1 can of spray paint
• a sheet or paper to protect surfaces while painting

First, start of with a plate—any plate will work but recommended is using one that has the color or image you would like at the top of the stand as this will not be painted to keep the cake stand food friendly. Next, find a candle stick, goblet or really any sturdy object that is the height that you would like for your finished stand.

Then take epoxy (use according to directions) and glue your candlestick or goblet to the bottom of the plate. DO NOT MOVE THE STAND.















Place a heavy book on top of the stand and let the epoxy set according to directions. After the epoxy has set you should be able to pick up the stand with no movement from the candlestick or plate




















Make sure the plate is set firmly on a protected surface so that you can spray paint the outside of the cake stand. If there are edges of the paint off of the paper I would suggest covering the top of the plate with paper or painters tape















Spray the entire outer surface according to the directions on the spray paint can. Take your time on this step and stand back far enough to avoid drips. Also, this step make take a couple of layers of paint so plan to make the stands at least a day in advance of your party















After the stand has dried, wash the top of the plate with dish soap and water. The stand is not dishwasher safe but is food friendly as long as food is not touching the painted surfaces. If you are worried about this then just place a doily or wax paper on top of the stand before putting food on it.
