Cardboard Cupcake stand (last minute party project)
Make a recycled DIY cardboard cupcake stand for displaying cupcakes in a party. This is a great idea for making a cupcake stand that can be matched with your party theme. And also be disposed after use. Easy to make and very inexpensive. Actually it will cost you nothing, as it is totally made of things you can find around the house.
Sometimes at parties accidents happen and you don’t want to let go of a perfectly planned party getting a little out of hands. In such situations you need to have a quick backup plan. Just like this cupcake stand made out of cardboard and crepe paper.
Cardboard Cupcake Stand
This is a really easy and totally a dollar project.
You will need:
cardboard, disposable glasses, crepe paper, strong glue and a very good glue stick
Make It:
Cut three pieces of cardboard, each a little smaller than the last one. In my project, I cut three different sizes of rectangle. I then wrapped the cardboard with crepe paper, gluing it at the center, around the edges and taping at the ends. It is important to stick the crepe paper firmly to the cardboard, else the cupcakes weight will not be tolerated on the second dish.
While the glue was drying, I stuck stars on the disposable glasses for fun and finally using super glue positioned them between the cardboard to act as holders. Place a heavy book on the top while the glue dries for best results.
And that’s it. Your done in 15 minutes.
Have a last minute cupcake stand ready to save your party and enjoy!

Some great cupcake stand ideas that I love:
Carnival Tiered Trays from candlesticks and disposable plates- Colorful festive Cupcake Stands.
Cupcake stand made using aluminium tubes and plates.
Cardboard or foam core DIY cupcake stand.
Paint and stencil tiered trays.
Turn an old thrift store chandelier into a cupcake stand. With a few twigs and tweets you have a beautiful cupcake display for you party.
Refresh with a fresh coat of spray paint. And use ribbons and laces to decorate the sides.

yes it was sturdy enough to handle all the big cupcakes I had..:) But the center tray was a little unbalanced that too because I didn't glue the crepe paper well and everywhere on the cardboard..
