  Step 1

  Gather your supplies. Print out templates onto paper. Cut around the template pieces. For this cupcake stand I choose to use a gold glitter card stock 12" by 12" for the outer material.

• 

  Step 2

  Using a marker trace the circle template onto the thicker cardboard. Then trace the bottom semi-circle template with the tabs onto the thinner cereal box cardboard. Cut out these pieces and put them aside. Next place the circle template, the semi-circle template without tabs and the 2 scalloped strip pieces onto the back of your outer material. Cut out all these pieces. If your outer material is larger than 12" by 12" you can join the scalloped strip template pieces and cut them out as one long strip.

• 

  Step 3

  You should have one circle and one semi-circle with tabs cut out of cardboard.You should also have one circle and one semi-circle and two of the scalloped strips cut out of the outer material.

• 

  Step 4

  Apply hot glue along the one side of cardboard semi circle. Wrap it around til it overlaps the glue. Hold until dry. This will form the base of the cupcake stand.

• 

  Step 5

  Mark the center on the cardboard circle for reference. Next bend all the tabs on the base of the stand inwards and apply hot glue to each one.

• 

  Step 6

  Press and hold the stand base against the center of cardboard circle. Hold til dry.

• 

  Step 7

  Apply white glue all over the stand base. If you're using a thick outer material you can opt to use hot glue instead.

• 

  Step 8

  Wrap the outer material around the stand base. Hold until dry.

• 

  Step 9

  Next apply glue to the end of one of the scallop strips. Overlap the other scallop strip to make one long strip. You can skip this step if your scallop strip is already one lone piece.

• 

  Step 10

  Decide where you want the seems of the scallop strip to go, then begin applying hot glue to the rim of the cupcake stand top. Carefully wrap the scallop strip around the edge as you apply the glue.

• 

  Step 11

  Apply white glue to the entire surface of the top of the cupcake stand. You can also opt to use hot gun for this step.

• 

  Step 12

  Lastly, press the circle of the outer material to the top of the cupcake stand. Allow to dry and you're done!

Perfect! I have been trying to figure out a way to elevate some of the tea cups in my collection so the display is not flat. You just solved that issue! Thank You from Port Huron, Michigan, USA.
