Fall stacked cake plates with newspaper edges inspired by Matthew Mead and Pottery Barn
By The Style Sisters - Saturday, October 17, 2015
Bringing back an idea: A few years ago I shared how to make this three tiered stacked cake plate with newspaper cut into scallops on the edges.
It is a fun Centerpiece idea
I decided to try and recreate it using things I already owned. As I was looking around my kitchen I found I had 3 cheapie glass cake plates and knew I could stack on them on each other.
I used newspaper but you could use any kind of paper...construction paper, scrapbook paper, Tissue paper, even butcher paper!! Decide what kind of a trim you want whether is be a scalloped edge or maybe even a triangle edge...whatever your heart desires.
After I cut the newspaper into scallops and punched holes in each scallop with a hole puncher, I attached it the edge of the cake plate with Hot glue!! It comes off really easy after you done..it just peels off.
Then I started adding fun things on each layer...like bags of popcorn in cello bags tied with orange ribbon, little orange cups filled with candy treats, apples and fall leaves etc..
Here it is all done with with all kinds of yummy Halloween treats to use as a center piece for a table or side board.
Using what you have and making it new again!!
You could use this idea for any Holiday or birthday!
Since this original post I did end up buying a 3 tier, 2 tier and a 1 tier galvanized tin serve ware from Pick your plum and have used them many times...once for this hot chocolate bar, My easy fall centerpiece, Navy and Peach Wedding reception and to serve my caramel apples on just to name a few

I originally saw this idea on Pottery Barn's website a few years ago and loved it!
Then I found this idea in an old 2006 Matthew Mead Christmas magazine and thought to myself...."Self...you can do this with newspaper!!"

Brilliant. Love the newspaper. Is there bonus points for using the obituaries? (very Halloween like, I'd say!)
ReplyDeleteWOW....I love this idea and how creative it is. I agree with the obitiuaries...creepy sounding. Thanks for sharing, I am hosting a shower the first weekend in Oct and this would be neat to have on my bar as the center piece.
ReplyDeleteI like the newspaper, and the idea! What a great look for anything. I love the black and white newsprint with the orange and fall colors. Goes well together. You did a great job. I love this! Have a great day!

great re-creation! I love it that you used what you already had and didn't have to go out and buy something. I am trying to be frugal right now and this really helped!

This is a great idea! I love the newspaper embellishment....consider this an idea co-opted by me! I can also see it incorporated into a tablescape for a man's birthday...just add neck ties and big old coffee mugs. Thank you for sharing this charming idea. Cherry Kay
