Quick & Easy Cake Stand

Welcome & Happy Easter!  Yes, Easter is Sunday - - are your ready? Me - not so much!

I always like to set my holiday tables with lots of varying heights - - I realized that I needed "something" for my Easter table.  Inspired by Spring colors and Easter Bunnies - I created this super quick and easy cake stand for my table.

Let's get hoppin' (see what I did there?)

Supplies:

Bunny Cardstock (2 pieces, you will use both sides)

Original Dew Drops

Mini Dew Drops

Tear Drops

Diamond Dew Drops

Ribbon and / or Lace (I chose an eyelet trim from my stash!)

Smoothfoam 4x4 Cube

Smoothfoam 10" x 1" Disc

Tools:

Pencil

Paper Trimmer

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Ink 

• Trace Smoothfoam Disc onto Bunny Cardstock and cut out circle
• Cut (4) 4 x 4 Squares from Bunny Cardstock
• Cut (3) 1 x 12 strips from Bunny Cardstock (one strip will need to be trimmed)
• Using a hot glue gun, attach paper to top of disc
• IF needed, using VERY fine sandpaper, distress tool or emery board, LIGHTLY sand edges of paper until even with disk (no need for perfection - we will be inking!)
• Repeat these steps for applying strips to outside edge of disc (trimming the lengths as needed) and and cube
• Once all paper has been applied and sanded, use ink or paint to go over all edges(or some - I chose to only ink the top edge of disc).
• Again using your hot glue gun, apply trim along bottom edge of disc
• Using a clear drying glue, apply dew drops to top edge of lace.  I am using a completely random mix of Original Dew Drops, Mini Dew Drops, Diamonds and Tear Drops - giving my project a very whimsical vibe.

*designer tip:  Toss all of your different dew drops into one container - it is so liberating and you will use color and shape combos you never thought of before!

•  Hot glue finished disc to top of cube

 And that's all there is to it!  It would be so easy to take this project in a formal direction using some of the other beautiful papers from the Robin's Nest -- I hope you are inspired to dress up your Easter table!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
