mini donut cupcake stands

donuts? check.
cupcake stand? check.
easy? check.

wanna see what i'm talking about? 
check.
ok ok so i had to kinda sorta hide these from hubby cuz i have waaay too many cake stands already and have become seriously obsessed with them but when i saw these, i kinda sorta broke down and rethunk my financial status to rationalize getting these non needed but well ok, 
really needed mini stands.
so don't tell anyone in my neighborhood that i bought them all...
and i probably would've gotten more if there were more available but 4 was all they had.

i bet craft people hate me when i go into craft stores cuz i tend to buy everything and leave nothing for them.
oops.

but i gotta keep crafting to keep my sanity from work and everyday life y'know?
and with the new stuff i buy, i also gotta use my old stuff up so hubby will think 
"gee she's in that (craft) room an awful lot. well, guess it's good she is using up the stuff in there...wonder why the heck it never looks like there is a lack of supplies though?..."

these are the times i don't mind 
that he doesn't read my blog.
seemed like rust-oleum was easiest to control and covered more in one spray. 
valspar came a close second.
krylon had a very stubborn cap to remove and i had to do multiple sprays and it dried the slowest. or is it cuz i had this spray the longest? i have no clue. 

but that's just my silly opinion. 
cuz why would anyone use rust-oleum on a cupcake stand anyway?

hey who said that?!?
..................
let's just get another craft supply that i have and that you have seen here on this blog many times before.
oh how i LOVE paint markers.
i just have more control over them to make better details as opposed to the million paints and brushes i have that cry out to me from neglect. and the drying time beats paints anyday. not to mention the vibrancy of the colors.

ok i'll move on...

and just when i thought making donuts on the 1st three was getting a little redundant, 
i made this:
i gotta admit this was my first time makin' them.
anyway, i put them all together and:
or a mini donut in a cupcake liner.
or a cookie or whatever treat can fit.
just make sure it's not sitting directly on the stand unless you like food poisoning.
that i would not recommend.

oh me likey. especially the size of them.
oh and one more thing to say,
that's so true.

so donut go away. like ever.
cuz i donut like the fact that you may not return.
and i donut want that to ever happen cuz you donut want to miss what i plan on making next, 
whatever the heck that will be since i donut have a clue.

cuz we have lots and lots of fun together.
donut you think?

mini christmas cake stands

ok so i went and did it.
i posted this long tutorial the weekend before christmas when everyone's so crazy busy they don't even have time to flush the toilet. (what?! like you haven't been to a public restroom before?)

anywho, hope you still like this:
so i went and got this at hobby lobby:
and did this:
so as you can see, 
it's just paint and/or tape, glue. 
paint and/or tape, glue.
paint and/or tape, glue.


easy right?
now let's get the desserts.
and there you have it!
i could've made an entire mile long tute but i am pressed for time like you. so i'll just keep my fingers crossed that the pics are enough to understand how to do this.

wanna take a closer look at each one?
okey dokey.

aren't they cute all together?

see how small they are?
it's just a little treat so no one should mind the calories.
you could tie a ribbon around one and give it as a gift. (tie it around so that the dome stays on and doesn't fall off.) 
yeah right Lisa!! 
WHO? 
HAS?
TIME?!?!
oh well, 
at least you have about 369 days til next Christmas!

so keep smiling and have a wonderful most awesomest most happiest most mostest holiday of all!
i am off to look for more stuff i won't be able to do this year for christmas!
