Burner Cover Cupcake Stand

I have been admiring various cupcake stands for a long time. I have read a ton of tutorials, and now I finally made one. We recently had my entire family over for breakfast. I made delicious quiche and muffins (recipes to come later), and I needed a fancy way to display the muffins. Okay, I didn't need it, but I have been wanting one and this was a good excuse.

Here is what you need:

3 Stove Burner Covers (You'll have to buy four and you can use all of them, but I just went with three.) I got these at the dollar store.
Candlesticks- Also from the dollar store.
Spray Paint
Mod Podge
Scrapbook Paper
Ribbon

I spent $4 to make this project. I only had to buy the burner covers and the candlesticks. The rest was stuff I already had at home.

1. Start by spray painting the burner covers and candlesticks. It was such a shame to paint over this happy chef, but he had to go.

2. Measure and cut out the circles of paper. I chose to use my burner covers with the edges pointing up . I thought it might help in keeping things from falling off, but you can do it the other way too. Spread a thin layer of mod podge glue, stick the paper circle on and smooth it out. Watch for a few minutes to smooth out any bubbles.

3. Spread another thin layer of glue on over the top of the paper to protect it. You can see the glue around the edge, but as long as it is a very thin layer it will dry clear.

 

4. I hot glued the candlesticks to the bottom of the burner covers. The entire thing is not glued together so I can take it apart and just use one or two layers if I want. I also tied a bow on each of the candlesticks to add a little pop of color. 

And then you have to fill it with food.
