DIY: Paper Cupcake Stand
By hungry runner on December 1st, 2010 . Filed under: Crafts, Cupcake Ideas .
Bird Craft: Party Supplies and Printable Fun! offers a tutorial on how to make these easy paper cupcake stands. All you need to do is download the template from her website and follow these three easy steps:
1. Print your template onto patterned cardstock or print onto standard A4 paper and transfer it to a material of your choice later – You can use MDF, cardboard, polystyrene sheets, coloured cardstock etc…
2. Then cut the parts and slot the feet together, fixing with a dot of hot glue if necessary. Its quite self-explanatory when you look at the pictures…
3. Add some more hot glue onto the feet and place the stand top on, pressing firmly.
Not only do I love how easy these are to make but I like that you can customize them to suite your needs. If you have a simple stand you can make your cupcake decorations more involved. If your stand has a busy pattern then you can add a cupcake with minimal decorations. Since the holiday party season has begun you could easily make the stands to match the holiday you are celebrating!
