Cake Serving Set

So I have been hunting for a cake serving set that I like that didn't cost a fortune.... no such luck. So I decided to make my own! I ordered the serving set online from HobbyLobby because our local store didn't have this set (of course). Then went to JoAnns and found two different sized packages of pearl beads and silver wire. This too was another project I completed while watching TV, just be careful those little beads will end up everywhere if the dog jumps up with you.

I took about a 3 in. piece of wire and strung four small beads on it and wrapped it around the top, holding the pearls in place where I wanted them and tightening the wire with needle-nose pliers. The next section has two small beads on each side and a large bead in the middle. The last section of the set is one big piece of wire ( I cut about 6 inches just to make sure I had plenty to work with). I made the top row with two small beads and one large bead. I then wrapped the wire around the knife and tightened it with the pliers just like I did with the other sections of beads; however, this time I had this really long end of wire left. I did this because it tightens the wire enough to stay in place but still allows you to make the section as one piece. After that I just wrapped the wire around put the beads on and wrapped the wire around again for the next row. For the very last row after I put the beads on I took the wire and did an extra wrap around the knife with the wire to keep the beads for slipping off. The wire is so thin you can wrap it between the rows of beads and it blends right in. Then I tightened the wire in the back and secured with a dot of hot glue!
