DIY Cake Stand Soap Holder

A little while ago I stumbled across this nifty, little DIY craft.

It's so cute right?! Totally genius. The soap containers always make rings on the sink, and sometimes they get kinda icky. So I tracked down the blog to figure out exactly how it was put together. I should have been a detective. 

Turns out....it's not that hard! 

I didn't have a random candlestick just hanging around though. Or a plate I could glue to said imaginary  candlestick. So I browsed Targets lovely clearance section.

I'm picky though. I wanted it to be cute. I ended up buying a $9 candle stick, and a $3 plate.

Oh, and some spray paint. I think like $4. I think that's a pretty cheap craft. 

It was originally black. So I made it purple! I'm in love with that Rustoleum stuff. It's the best spray paint EVER. I spray paint everything. 

I waited oh so impatiently for it to dry. It took awhile because of the little groves. I had to turn it upside down after the first coat and do a second to get all the spots. Then I put LOTS of hot glue on the top of it, and yes, stuck the plate on. I even squished it down. 

I know. Amazing.

I'm on the hunt for a pretty little towel, and some cute matching soap dispensers. For now though, I think it's pretty cute!

I'm sooooo crafty!
