Equipment

  • Full size mannequin (borrowed it from Judy Desfosses, thanks Judy!)
  • Large thick card boards (we used left over TV box)
  • Pencil, ruler, stapler, scissor, sticky tape (if needed), pins
  • Hard paper roll from a strapping coil (for base support – first picture) – the size was just perfect for our 1st/bottom circle, as base support.
  • glue gun
  • Electric saw

Instructions

  • Cut 2 x 3 circles for where the desserts (such as cupcakes) to be placed at. (41 x 19, 41 x 10, 30 x 9), so 6 circles in total
  • Glued them together and lastly stapler them. So they are thick and strong
  • cut legs using hard carton, The measurement for the legs were 13 cm in length
  • To be sure that the bottom circle (1st circle) is sturdy, we glued it to a piece of cardboard and then glued the cardboard onto the base support. From then, we glued the legs on each circles and stack them.
  • Dress it pretty and decorate it accordingly.
