DIY Industrial Cupcake Stands
Make these DIY industrial cupcake stands now and you’ll be ready for all the upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching! Â The cool black steel plumbing parts base combined with the natural wood slice platform lends itself to an unexpected industrial feel.
Each cupcake stand costs $5.50 in parts (not including the birch log), very reasonable for a unique, DIY project that could easily lend itself to become a favor or small gift.
Supplies required (for one DIY Industrial Cupcake Stands):
- 1/2″ black steel floor flange
- 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ black steel nipple
- birch log (approx. 5″ in diameter)
- hand saw or circular saw
- palm sander or sandpaper
- drill
- 3/4″ circular drill bit
- E-6000 glue
DIY Industrial Cupcake Stands Instructions:
Step 1: Using a handsaw or circular saw slice off 3/4″ thick disc of wood from the birch log. (If you’re concerned about bugs, you can bake them as shown here.)
Step 2: Sand wood slices smooth.
Step 3: Using a drill with a 3/4″ circular bit drill out a small hole for the nipple piece, only about 1/4″ deep, be careful not to let the tip of the bit pierce through to the other side of the wood slice.
Step 4: Apply E-6000 glue to one end of nipple and screw it into flange.
Step 5: Apply E-6000 glue to circular hole in wood slice.
Step 6: Gently ‘screw’ other end of nipple into wood slice.
Let the glue dry while the cupcake stands are upside down.
When dry, flip the stands over and load them up! Â They are perfect not only for cupcakes but candles too:
Cupcakes, candles and individual pies too! Â Mini pumpkin and pecan pies are on definitely my Thanksgiving menu this year:
