When the price is too much for a one day celebration you need not buy expensive tools for it. I'm making a Boss Baby inspired 4 tier cup cake stand coz it's the easiest concept I know and the materials are very easy to find, too.

Supplies:

3 pieces of 2 sided 1/8 illustration board
hot glue
cutters
pencil
round and curved tracing tools

Steps:

Cut one board in half crosswise.

Draw a staircase on each and cut. Now, you have two.

Make a 1 cm fold on the edge opposite of the staircase cuts.

Attach these folds and put in an alternate black and white position. See photo.

Take another piece of cardboard and cut out a curved piece about 2-3 inches wide. The length will depend on the distance between the open staircase. Start from the bottom.

Cut out two more smaller curves for the next layers and assemble them in alternate shades. (black and white)

Then, cut a round piece of board for the top layer.

Put this on top. Put pieces of paper squares in between the layers to add strength to the stand. Done.
