I am always looking for new ways to use old things, or creative ways to make new treasure out of something you would have never expected. When I ran across this DIY tutorial on Once Wed for stackable cupcake stands out of basic terra cotta plates and saucers - I knew I had stumbled across a project I will definitely be trying soon!
What you'll need:
(2) terra cotta saucers (Laurie used a 7" and a 10" saucer, but you can use any size you like). You can find these readily available at most nurseries or home and garden stores.
(2) terra cotta rose pots (Laurie used 5" and 6" high pots You an use any size as long as they are taller than the height of your cupcake and frosting)
(2) yards ribbon (or what ever it takes to make it around the circumference of your saucer)
Decorative or scrap book paper
Acrylic paint
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Sponge paint brush
Scissors
Cupcakes
Instructions:
1. Begin by painting both sides of your terra cotta saucers and only the outside of the terra cotta rose pots with your acrylic paint and sponge brush (see figure 1 and 2). Paint a second coat if needed.
2. Allow the paint to dry completely
2. Turn the saucers upside down and glue the bottom of the rose pots to the back of the saucers using your hot glue gun. Use a generous amount of glue. (see figure 3)
4. When the glue has dried, turn your cake stands right side up and carefully glue your ribbon to the edge of your saucers. (see figure 4)
5. Cut (2) circles out of your paper to line the inside of the saucers (see figure 5)
6. Stack stands and arrange your cupcakes.
