Cupcake stands are such a fun and easy thing to create.
Get a few pieces of wood, make sure each piece is a little bigger than the next. Put them in ascending order.
You can either paint the wood pieces, put design paper on them, print out your own image, bejewel them, add sparkles, or anything else you want. The possibilities are endless!
Get however many wooden blocks you need to fit between each piece of wood. This will allow it to stack.
And you have yourself a DIY cupcake stand!
