I just got back from Arizona where I loved seeing all the beautiful cacti and succulents everywhere and especially the gorgeous and creative succulent terrariums my sister-in-law made in various containers. I was in a mission to drive to one of our favorite places, ReStore (a Habitat for Humanity home supply recycling store and donation site) to grab a light pendant to transform in a beautiful terrarium (I’ll write another post and tutorial about that next week). In the lighting area, I found a pile of these light fixture covers and I couldn’t resist grabbing a few to transform them in beautiful domes for my cake stand collection. Don’t these give the most wonderful vintage flair to cake stands?
You’ll need:
- Light fixture covers – only $2 a piece at my local ReStore
- Knobs from Anthropologie, World Market or Hardware store – cost between $3 to $6 each.
- Fender Washer 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ – costs $0.12 at my local home improvement store.
Total cost : +/- $6 each dome

This is such a clever and beautiful and inexpensive (cheap ! ) solution to your and my problem of so many beautiful cake plates but not enough covers for our delicious desserts. I’m sure there are many readers with the same problem as we have. Boy will i look twice (or three times) at those vintage light covers from now on. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring me to go shopping ( like i need inspiration to shop, lol ) . Have a great day !
