Supplies:
Paint:
I sprayed a nontoxic finish on it.
assemble:
I just hot glued the two pots to the two upper stands (someone mentioned in a the comments of a previous project that hot glue didn’t work for them and they used apoxy. I haven’t had any problems with my hot glue not holding…but my bubble gum dispenser was for decorations…and this dessert stand wasn’t moved around a lot)
Fill with deliciousness
I later used the bottom tier as a cookie platter…cause it was just sitting there.
This was my husbands cookie recipe. My cookies look so much better than this.

Oh my, oh my! You just made my day! I was trying to make a cupcake stand from formula cans, but it wasn't coming out the way I wanted it to. Then I see this and it is PERFECT for the camping themed baby shower I am throwing in June. Can't wait to give this a try!

Good Idea! I have had good luck putting together china or pottery with clear caulk….I used GE. So if the hot glue is not working, try that.
