Cupcake Stand

Hello Joy here,

a few weeks ago I came across this in my local supermarket.

I quickly snapped it up, but put it in the cupboard for a special occasion. Well, my daughter's best friends are celebrating their 16th birthday at the weeked and we are making cupcakes - Red Velvet ones! I thought they needed a special stand so I got to work.

Putting the stand together is very easy. The pieces all slot into each other and it is very robust. The girls have chosen a playing card theme for the party. They made very cute invitations themselves from playing cards. After a quick trip to the 99p Shop, where I got playing cards and a pile of sticky back gems, I began to personalise the stand.

I put the sticky back gems on wires and poked them into the corrugated card. I also threaded beads and heart shaped buttons onto wires to place in the centre.

I added the 10 & 6 of hearts to the top to represent the 16th birthday. I also stuck gems around the edges to give an added sparkle. I will be filling it with cupcakes on Saturday afternoon and delivering it to the birthday girls.
