we will use pots of cream or cheese similar to this one
you have to cut the upper part of two of them to get rings. Now take a sheet of paper from which a strip will be cut so that it has a length exactly equal to the circumference of the ring. decorate this strip of paper - you can use collages of colored paper, make decorations or any other means.
Then stick this strip of paper on two circles so as to obtain a cylinder. Introduce in the lower part of the cylinder another one slighly smaller and glue it in te first one so to make a base. Decorate this base- here I used gold paper
this cylinder can easily be illuminated by placing a led tea light on a base made with another pot. A slightly more complicated solution is to use a base with a bulb
and here is the result ! For parties you can easily make several of them for almost zero cost. You can also adapt their decor to the theme of the evening
