Cupcake Stands

The china ones are so pretty and seem to be everywhere in the shops now but they are quite expensive.  I wondered if it would be possible to make some from thick card.  It was and now I cant stop making them!  There are so many ways to decorate them too.  With a good coat of varnish on the top they should be pretty hardwearing and shouldn't get any greasy smudges on them.  Of course, you don't have to put cakes on them, they can be very pretty in their own right too!
