Glassware Cupcake Display

Create a beautiful custom cupcake tower with re-purposed glassware from your kitchen cupboard, dollar store or thrift store. These stands have a chic, modern look and can be customized to your needs based on the types of materials you choose.

Tools and Supplies:

• 1 Large-size Glass Plate
• 1 Medium-size Glass Plate
• 1 Small-size Glass Plate
• 1 6" tall Drinking Glass
• 1 5" tall Drinking Glass
• Clear Epoxy Glue
• 1 can spray paint primer
• 1 can spray paint in color of your choice

Directions:

Step 1: Wash and dry the glass plates and glasses.

Step 2: In a well ventilated area, set the largest plate down on your work surface. Squeeze the epoxy glue around the rim of the 6" drinking glass.

Step 3: Position the glass over the center of the large plate and press down.

Step 4: Squeeze epoxy glue around the edge of the upside down glass. Position the medium plate over the center and press down.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the 5" drinking glass to attach it from the medium-size plate to the small plate. Let epoxy dry completely.

Step 6: In an outside space, lay out the newspaper or drop cloth and place the cupcake tower on top.
