Easy Cupcake Stand for Your Next Soirée

Learn how to turn a cardboard cake stand into a cute cupcake stand with paper and Mod Podge! This is a really easy party idea you’ll love.

Hello, Mod Podge fans! It’s Linda here, from burlap+blue, and I’m here today to share a project that will add some Springtime style to your Easter table.

I combined scrapbook paper with a basic cupcake stand to create this festive serving piece that you can customize to match your décor. Here’s the easy how-to . . .

Decorate a Cardboard Cupcake Stand

Gather These Materials

• Cardboard cupcake stand
• Mod Podge Gloss
• Scrapbook paper
• Foam brush
• Scissors

Step 1: Decide on your color scheme, trace your cardboard tiers onto scrapbook paper and cut out.

Step 2: Mod Podge your paper onto your cardboard rounds. Do not seal yet, as the next step will be easier to do before the tiers are sealed.

Step 3: Flip your rounds over, and, using an X-Acto knife, cut slits into your rounds using the shown “X” pattern as your guide (this is where the cardboard rounds will attach onto the cardboard base to create your cupcake stand).

After you’ve cut your slits, flip your rounds back over and seal, making sure to allow them to dry fully between coats.

When you’re done, they’ll look like this . . .

Using the directions included, assemble your cupcake stand. And you’re done!

Thank you so much for letting me share with you all today! You can find lots of other tutorials and inspiration on my blog. Have a lovely day!
