Christmas Cupcake Stand

 

 

I saw this peppermint cupcake tower on HoneyBear Lane Blog and I knew I had to make one for our annual girls' night cocoa party. If you want to see MORE pictures of our cocoa party, click here.

 

These are the items I used to make my stand minus one plate and one candle stick. I decided after buying this all that it was too tall with 4 plates. I found all this stuff at Deseret Industries for only $8.

I loved how on HoneyBear Lane blog she used a square plate, so when I was shopping the thrift store I bought all different shaped plates.

Spray painting was a pain because the paint either pooled in the middle of the plate when the plate was flat or it dripped when the plate was on it's side.

I ended up painting over it again with a brush anyway.

This is my final product.

I decided I wanted stripes and polka dots also, that way I could use this stand for other occasions too.

I didn't have any vinyl on hand and I was making this very last minute, so I had to improvise.

I used a red pen and paper templates to mark where to paint and I painted all the red designs free hand with a foam brush and paint.

If you squint your eyes you won't see all the imperfections ;)

 

This is the stand in use.

A huge shout out to HoneyBear Lane for the idea, inspiration& tutorial! Thanks!!
