Outside the Cupcake Stand Box

Today's post is more of a tip than a tutorial.  I wanted to share some different uses for a cupcake stand.  And just let me say now, I apologize for the few photos.  I'm a visual learner and like having lots of photos.  Lil Hunkie hasn't been feeling well this week and so I didn't get to do what I had planned.  That's the way it goes sometimes so I'm relying on your imagination today!!

With any stand, be it a cupcake stand like the photo or ones with a solid surface, the possibilities are endless! Add some shot glass/votive type glasses and here we go!



As a Centerpiece:

Add some flowers and candles.

As a Candy station

(this is leftover bubble gum from Lil Hunkie's birthday party, it didn't turn out like I had visualized but hope this helps you visualize)

As an Appetizer station

I've used the glass cups and put dip in the bottom and then added carrot and cucumber sticks.

As a Soup Shooter station

Add a couple different flavors and some crackers.

As a Bead station

Put different bead supplies in the cups and let teenage girls make their own bracelets/necklaces.

As a Photo holder

Use mini clothespins to hold photos.  This would work best with a solid surface stand. Even small frames would work depending on the size of the stand.

I would love to hear any ideas you have!  Hope this inspires you today!
