I seriously got my craft on this weekend (and I painted my bathroom)...something must be in the air (what? no its certainly not the 12,368 mg of caffeine I imbibed...) Anyway, here's the first: DIY cake/cupcake stands. Super easy.Step 1: Pick out plates and bases. I've seen candlesticks, vases and teacups all used as bases. I went for a goldish theme and found a bunch of great stuff at my local FoodFinders...
Step 2: Match plates to bases, remembering that plates should sit stably on the base (with the narrow end of the base touching the plate).Step 3: measure the diameter of the underside of the plate to determine its center. Mark the center.
Step 4: Using epoxy, adhere plate to base with plate face down.
Step 4: Using epoxy, adhere plate to base with plate face down.
Step 5: Let dry overnight.
Step 6: Ta Da!Craft #2: Nancy Drew Paper Doll. Let me know if you want me to make this a download so you can play...
