Cupcake Tray, Anyone?

So I can't possibly have a cupcake blog without a cupcake tray! I have very limited funds though, so I decided to make my own for less! Here it is, for only $7!

Here are the materials:
Hot glue gun
Spray Paint
3 assorted size trays from the $1 store
Plastic martini glasses from the $1 store



Step 1: Glue two martini glasses together end-to-end.



Step 2: Glue decorative marks around the seams to hide the fact that there is hot glue underneath. (Optional)



Step 3: Glue one end of the glasses to the center of your medium-sized tray.



Step 4: Trace around the top (smallest) tray to get a guide of where to glue the other end of the glasses.



Step 5: Glue the smallest tray to the top of the glasses.




Step 6: Repeat steps 1 and 2. Glue one end of the glasses to the bottom of the medium sized tray.



Step 7: Glue the bottom of the glasses to the largest tray.



Step 8: Spray paint desired color!



All done!

Good Luck! -Amber
