DIY: How to Make a Cupcake Stand
Materials:
3 plates (one small, one medium, one large size). You can use any flat plates put of plastic, ceramic, glass, metal, wood etc. and any shape. Even mirrors work for this.

Spray paint (optional)
Decorative item (optional)

Instructions:
To implement this simple entertainment idea, just follow these steps:
If you want to change the colors of your plates, decorative items and/or candleholders, spray paint the plates and candleholders per instructions. Let the paint dry completely.
Find the center of the largest plate and, using the glue, glue one candleholder on the plate.
Next, glue the medium sized plate onto the candleholder.
Now, glue the second candleholder onto the center of the medium plate.
Finish your cupcake stand by gluing the small plate onto the second candleholder. Let the glue dry overnight by placing something heavy on the plate, like a book for example. Glue on the decorative item you chose. Ready!!!

You can decorate the stands in any way, like using ribbons or fabric. If you paint them, make sure to have something between the food and the surface, like a doily for instance, since the spray paint isn’t food safe. Also, consider making some individual mini cupcake stands using mini or small candleholders and plates. They would be a blast as name card holders or favors (or both) at parties for sure!
