Cupcake Stands...

I wanted to quickly show you how 

I made those lovely cupcake stands that you

saw in my last post {click here to see}.

They were very simple to make & better

yet, very affordable...

Before...

Yup, that's right, I made them out of martini glasses

& dinner plates from the dollar store.

You can use any glasses {Wine, Martini, exd}

I then spray painted the plates & the glasses

with Catalina Mist from Krylon

{I found it at Michael's craft store}

After the paint dried I glued the bottom of the glass

to the bottom of the plate.

{So the rim of the glass is the base of the cupcake stand}

You can use any glue, I chose to use hot glue

& it has held up great.

I chose to use all the same size glasses & plates,

but you can switch it up for variety.

For a little more added touch of lovely I added a small

doily banner to tie all of the cupcake stands together.

Not that these amazing cupcakes from Stir it up needed to 

be more lovely then they already are...

I love how the cake stands made the cupcakes

a great centerpiece for the baby shower... they turned out awesome

& I can't wait to use them again.

Have you made cake stands before?

What materials did you use?

I would love to see them...

Go link them on the Liz Marie Blog Facebook page.

I hope you are having a great week...

I will be back with a few more tutorials from the baby shower

 stay tuned...
