Evening all.
I am making my own wedding cake stand for a huge wedding cake, I have the main part made the top (round) with strong legs for support.
I had the idea of making a skirt to fit round it to cover up the legs, but a skirt to be removable so I can fit metal poles throught the legs for transporting the cake then taken out once in situ and the skirt added using velcro.
I was going to make the skirt out of a piece of cushion flooring that I had left from doing a floor, cut to size then sprayed with silver chrome plasticote spray paint and then using silver material draped with a diamonte booch for decoration.
Well I thought I had better do a sample piece of cushioned vinyl with the paint to see if it would work and I have found it doesn't, the spray paint doesn't dry it stays sticky I have a feeling the paint is reacting with the vinyl and perhaps melting it so it won't dry.
What I need now is some ideas of how to or what I could use in place of this vinyl flooring. I need something that is pliable yet stiff enough to look like the stand sides and something to be coloured silver or is silver in colour. Any clever bods out there willing to share an idea and help me please.
