Make Your Own Tiered Desert Stand

February 9, 2012

Bought a bunch of Valentine's Day plates and cups for a Valentine's Day party?  Use the leftovers to create a tiered dessert stand!

Supplies:

1 large, 1 medium, and 1 small paper/plastic plate
2 paper/plastic cups
Glue gun


Steps:

1. Take one of the cups. Turn it upside down and center it onto the large plate. Draw a circle around it with a pencil.
2. Take the cup and using the glue gun, spread a line of glue around the cup's rim. Place it back down onto the large plate, using the circle you made as a guide. Let dry for a minute.

First Tier
3. Center the medium plate over the cup, again marking the position of the cup on the plate. Spread glue on the bottom of the cup and place the medium plate in the center. Allow to dry again.
4. Take the second cup, turn upside down, center it over the medium plate and again draw a circle around as a guide.


Second Tier

5. Follow steps 2 and 3 to create the second and third tier.
