DIY Rustic Cupcake Stand Tutorial

  Step 1. Cut three stair step size logs to your desired size.
Mine was 10, 12, & 15"

Step 2. Cut two smaller size logs.

{these will go in the middle}

Mine was 6"

Step 3. Take your drill & screw and drill into the above tier

make sure you go in at a angle.

{like shown in pic below}

Step 4. Repeat step three to the opposite side. You want to make sure your smaller log is securely screwed to the top tier and to the bottom.
Note: you will use four screws for each tier

 



Step 5. Take one screw and drill it into the top. Once again, making sure it is secure.

Step 6.  Repeat steps 3 -5 for each tier 

{this is what your stand should look like so far}

It's really simple and just think of it as a "stacking method"
Step 7. Your FINISHED

This is what your rustic cupcake stand should look like finished.

And here is my cupcake stand at my wedding.
