And get the kids involved to help with the decorating for a great family holiday project!
DIY Cupcake Stand
What you will need:
- 3 old plates, different sizes – small, medium and large
- 2 old 4-6 inch candlesticks
- E-6000 epoxy or glue gun with glue sticks
- 2-3 colors of spray paint
- Tape, paper doilies or other materials for stencils
Make sure your plates and candlesticks are clean.
Spray paint a base coat to your individual style and let dry.
Lay out your design and spray paint over with your second and/or third colors.
I used some stencils with painter’s tape and cut-outs to create my own design.
You can also use paper doilies, as well.
Glue a candlestick to the center of your largest plate.
Glue your middle-sized plate on top of this candlestick.
Repeat with your next candlestick and the last, smallest plate on top.
Let dry – overnight if you are using E-6000.
Once the adhesive is dry, your new stand is ready to use!
