I wanted little cupcake stands to show off cupcakes we create lately. We have kind of joined the cupcake craze. So everything we make is a cupcake now. Invite us over for dinner– OK– we’ll bring cupcakes. Been learning how to frost them etc.
I needed something more than my cake stand. So Chad and I got to thinking.
Strolling around Joanns store- we saw beveled wood pieces. I believe it is for a plaque? Not sure. Got the bright idea of adding them to the top of glass candle sticks we get at the dollar store.
Love pretty colors and white spray paint. Spray paint makes everything prettier.
Spray painted the wood plaques.
Dollar store candle sticks before painting….
Beautiful green color…
Once everything was dried we glued the candle stick to the top piece with some E-6000 glue. (My favorite glue of all time!!)
Tie on a ribbon if you fancy.. and now I have 3 fun cupcake stands for many occasions. 🙂
I love how they turned out. Fun colors and just the perfect size for my cupcakes to show off.
I love the candle sticks.. they have so many wonderful uses. My 3rd or 4th project with them.
YAY for pretty Cupcake stands!! THANKS to my hubby for being the master spray painter. He never makes drips.. EVER… That’s love!!

Well, you could send your hubby over here to spray paint my projects ~ I make drips almost 95% of the time, Mary Beth! This is such a great idea! It makes for such a great little pedestal whether for cupcakes or whatever.

I love these! They’d be a great way to display some individual cupcakes when you don’t have a lot of room, and I’m so glad to see something other than the tiered stands that are all over the place. I featured you today on my favorite things 🙂

Just came back to tell you that I did my version of your cupcake stands, Mary Beth, and I linked to you in my post!
Fabulous! Found you through Tip Junkie.
I shared this with a cupcake aficionado friend of mine.

Just linked to this post and your cupcake stand in my Funfetti cookie post!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Adorable! I haven’t seen candlesticks at the local 99 cent store. I’ll have to check other stores or maybe GW? Am thinking of adding an individual cupcake stand to the middle of a larger cake stand. These would be perfect!!
