DIY Rustic Cupcake Stands and Vintage Style Scooter

Mar112016 posted by Rachel 2 Comments

Hi there! I’m Rachel over at Fawn – Handcrafted Celebrations and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of  the wonderfully talented Eighteen25 Creative Team this year! Today I have a darling wood project to share with you. It’s incredibly simple and fairly quick to whip up.
Wedding season is just around the corner and these rustic cupcake stands and vintage style scooter would make the perfect centerpiece for a bridal shower or wedding reception. Of course they’d be adorable for birthday party or really any kind of celebration that includes cupcakes. 😉
Let’s get this party started!

  • Acrylic paint – ivory
  • Paper- Simple Stories -Power of Love

  • wood glue

Directions:
Trace the flower basket and the front and back end of the scooter using pattern paper and cut out. Set aside while you paint.

Paint all loose scooter pieces with ivory acrylic paint and allow to dry.

Sand the wheels of the scooter a bit to give them a bit of that distressed look. Punch two circles out from the pattern paper to attach on top of the wheels.

Take the 4″ circles, scooter and candlesticks outside to stain. Brush one coat on each wood piece and allow to dry.  After all the pieces are dry, take a bit of sandpaper and sand your projects to give them that rustic look.
