Use cake stands as the stage for your Christmas decorations: 14 ideas to consider
They can work as centerpieces, miniature Christmas trees, or green compositions to place - and move! - wherever you want, every time you have the need. We're talking about Christmas decorations placed on cake stands. One, two, three, or even more levels or tiers: a pyramid-like structure to fill with anything that reminds you of Christmas.
These are simple and versatile decorations to make and are truly unique. You can use twigs, pine cones, figurines, Christmas baubles, and even jewelry. The ideas are endless, and as always, they're all customizable. Check out the ideas below:
Glass cake stands

With the transparency of glass, you can make all your sparkling decorations shine: golden ones, those made of faux pearls, those with sequins or glitter. Here's an example in a "decadent style", all laid out in white and gold tones.
Taking advantage of the shape of each level/tier, you could go all out with using Christmas tree baubles - and without the risk of them falling off.
Wooden cake stands as Christmas decorations
For a more rustic and simple look, wooden cake stands are perfect. If you want to decorate your home with real plant fronds, pine cones and other ornaments, wood is perhaps the most suitable material to use for this, don't you think?
And these decorations work even when each tier of the cake stand is not necessarily filled with lots of objects. See how cute this example is!
Each tier of a cake stand can be decorated, even those made from flat wooden discs without edges. And that's what we see here, with little raindeer and Christmas trees, topped off with cascading fairy lights.
Ceramic cake stands
Another material that these cake stands are made of is ceramic/porcelain, and these are equally good to use for decorating.
With a white ceramic base, we can create a very elegant arrangement, like the one shown here.
Combining some hanging ornaments with a few green branches and faux pearl garlands is a chic touch that suggests opulence without going overboard.
The sparkle of metal cake stands
And now on to metal cake stands: they are often made of steel, with a silvery sheen. And considering that silver is one of the classic colors for Christmas, this is a perfect choice!
If the finish is chrome or shiny, metal cake stands will have a mirroring effect that multiplies the shapes and colors: perfect for table centerpieces!
And what if your cake stand is made of wrought iron? No problem! As you can see, even in this case, adorable decorations can be put together.
Snow globe cake stands
Do you remember snow globes? You can recreate this effect by using cake stands that have glass domes. A bit of fake snow and a few miniature figurines, houses, and trees are all you need.
It's a creative way to showcase a cute Christmas village decoration/diorama in a unique, creative way.
And, of course, you can also add other special effects, such as lights!
Are you ready to decorate your cake stands in a Christmassy style?
