My DIY cake plate

Grant and his family (mostly he and his dad) love going hunting for treasure at thrift stores. They call it "junkin'" and have been able to find some pretty great things. It's not really my favorite because I like to walk into a regular store and everything is arranged and sorted for me. I feel stressed out by weeding through the junk to find the gold. Anyway, a few weeks ago I had thirty minutes to kill and didn't feel like going home so as we were driving by a thrift store I decided we would go in. I put Carolina in the sling and Finn in a cart once we got inside. I had really good luck - I found a cute Gap kids polo shirt for Maggie and a school uniform shirt, also from Gap Kids, for Maggie for next year. Then we headed to the home goods section and I found this plain plate and ceramic candle holder. I had seen some online tutorials for making your own cake plate and I thought, "Hmmmm...I'm going to try it."
So I bought the plate and candle holder for about $3 total and picked up some adhesive and spray paint at Lowe's. I wanted to do a light teal but I couldn't find that exact color so I settled for a spring-y yellow.
When the kids were napping one day I painted the pieces (it took about three thin coats each) and when they were dry the next day I took five minutes and glued them together. They're supposed to be dishwasher safe although I think I'll stick to hand washing them. Also, it's not food-safe paint so when I use them I'll have to place some sort of barrier between them and the food, like a piece of pretty paper, a doily, or use cupcake liners. It was so easy, cheap, and quick!
Here's the finished process:
I kind of am addicted to it now. I'm thinking I should have one in every color of the rainbow so I can use what I want depending on the season or at baby showers, wedding showers, etc. How many cake plates are too many?!
