We love to celebrate and entertain. And sometimes, what we need aren't just available or is just too expensive. So then came DIY.
Here's a simple, fast, from scratch, fully-illustrated HOW TO:
(All units are in inches and dimensions of round materials are diameters)
Materials:
Styro blocks (available in educational supplies shop or baking materials;
I used 1 pc 12x2 as base, and 3 pcs each of 6x2, 5x2 3x2)
*I used the 3x2 blocks to hold Tinkerbell. You don't need it if you need the tower only.
You can also use soup cans or juice cans (not empty!) so it's more stable, but not disposable.
Cake boards (Here, I used 16, 12 and 9 inch diameters)
Gift wrap or cardstock to cover the center columns
Ribbon or Lace
Decorative materials
Pencils
Glue gun and sticks
Cutter
Scissors
Ruler, Preferably a triangle
Optional: Compass
In this tutorial, I am making a 3-tier tower for a Tinkerbell-themed, 24-pc-cupcake set so I choose the sizes above, color green for my wrap and ribbons, and some foam leaves and bugs for my decor.
I based my methods from annies-eats.com and did a few tweaks in my favor.
