Hello Everyone! It seems that this week has become the week of guest bloggers! This time Samantha at My Three Blind Mice will share her tutorial on how to make your own Anthroplogie inspired Cupcake Stand!
But first I wanted to talk a little about her. She is a crafty mommy who has her own etsy where she crochets the cutest things!
Like this sweet little frog hat:
And this adorable stuffed owl!
And thing for us adults:
Beautiful scarves in all colors.
And these stylish clutches.
Now without further adieu a Cup Cake Plate Stand!
1) Find old, vintage miss matched plates tea cups, and saucers all in the same color (white) from your house, antique stores, thrift stores, garage sales.
2) Arrange them together on top of each other till you get the desired plate stand you like. Then glue them all together using super glue or gorilla glue.
3. Use books to press the items you are gluing together to help the glue bond better.
4) Then youre done! This plate stand works great for cup cakes, cookies or tea sandwiches. It is a great way to add some vintage charm to your next party!
Wow I love this! I'm going to look for some cups and saucers on my next thrift store trip. Thank you so much Samantha for sharing this with us today!

This is so great! I love how you didn't follow the traditional larger to smaller flow upward. The staggered effect is super interesting!
Stopping by because I found you on Simply Designing :)
I love that the stand is all white. I'd seen this idea done with lots of color, and like that, too, but hadn't thought about white on white--lovely!
Love the teacups stand! I've seen that a couple times and it's always different!

I use sugar water to secure plates and bowls for impromtu stands but it never occurred to me to make it a permanent solution. Thanks so much for sharing. This is beautiful and such a great way to use extra plates and cups.
That is a very cute stand a such a great idea! I might be doing this sometime in the future.

Thanks for joining Wednesday Gratitude. I'm always grateful for new inspiration! I had a pic of this anthro cake stand in one of my posts awhile ago. Love it!

I so have to try this !!! awesome
I love this. Do you think it would be okay to use hot glue? Or would the plates not stick well?
Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this! Was looking for something exactly like this for my wedding cupcakes! Will let you know when I eventually try making them =)
