DIY Rustic Cupcake Stand Tutorial
Step 1. Cut three stair step size logs to your desired size. Mine was 10, 12, & 15″
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.

Time for the Weekend Wrap Up Party!!!
I am SO excited to see what YOU have been working on this week! I’d love to have you link up tonight. The party starts at 6 pm MST.
Awesome! I’m doing one as well and its nice to find someone who posted how they did it… instead of the ones on sale on etsy for $200 ! How many cupcakes did this stand hold? I’m inviting 160peopl and I’m thinking I will do 4 thinner layers and start with a larger diameter. That should also cut down on the weight because this one looks pretty heavy. Thanks for posting!
Love this! Shared on my blog here: http://vrveils.blogspot.com/2011/07/diy-rustic-cupcake-stand-tutorial.html
I love all this!!!! I had the honor of seeing all this in person!!! Andrea is now my sister-in-law everything she creates blows my mind!!! I can't wait to see what she has in store next!!! The word to best describe the wedding was MAGICAL!!! Maybe it was the whole "rustic" effect that made it so. The rustic cake stand was my favorite! It was a surprise to me and right when I saw it I had to run over with my jaw dropped! The cupcakes were the best!!! I took 3 home! Keep em coming Andrea!!!
LOVE Andrea's blog!!! Such a GREAT idea!!! It looks like they spent a ton on the cake stand and to find out she made it!?!?! VERY COOL!
