I first made these for Bailey's Fancy Nancy birthday party. I loved the way they turned out. They made a great little throne for her birthday cupcakes to sit upon. :) I have received a few emails asking where I got them. And so, the secret is out...I made them. :)
And today I'm going to show y'all just how EASY (and cheap) they are to make. But the stands I'm creating today are a little twist on the first ones I made. Today I'm making pirate themed cupcake stands...
Ingredients include glue (hot glue or tacky glue), mini candle sticks, paint, and wooden decorative shapes.
And here are the mini candle sticks, again found at Hobby Lobby in the unfinished wood section. I have also seen them at Michaels. They were $2.99 for a pack of 6. Not bad! (especially considering I bought mine with a 40% off coupon) :)
First step, paint your candle stick. Let it dry and then apply glue to the top of the candle stick. I chose hot glue for this project b/c it dries faster!
Flip it over and stick it to the bottom of the wooden decoration making sure the candle stick is in the middle.
Flip it over and stick it to the bottom of the wooden decoration making sure the candle stick is in the middle. Turn the candle stick over and you're DONE! That was easy right?!?!
And now you have cute little pirate themed cupcake stands!!! 
The cost of each stand is about $1.16 each, less if you use a coupon for the candle sticks like I did.
Top off your cupcake stand with some cupcakes and VOILA, you have a cute little pirate themed dessert arrangement!!!
Aren't these cupcake toppers adorable?!!? Created by the ever so talented Amanda Parker of Shindig Parties To Go. Her printables are such a quick and easy way to dress up any party! Definitely check out her Etsy shop.
