Elevate your treats for your next party!

Place a tube at the center of each circle and trace around it with a pencil (you’ll need to do this on both sides of the 12-inch disc). 2. Starting with the 5-inch base, trace the outline with hot glue (an adult’s job), then place the tube on top and add extra glue around the seam. Attach the bottom of the 12-inch disc to the top of tube. Repeat these steps to attach the 9-inch circle on top. 3. If desired, gesso the whole stand; let dry. Then coat with one to two layers of paint. 4. To add trim: Cut the cardstock into 1-inch-wide strips until you have enough to cover the edges of the 12-inch and 9-inch rounds.
