DIY Menorah Cake Stand

A few weeks ago I shared my Hanukkah celebration. One of my favorite elements from this party was the DIY Menorah Cake Stand. The stand I made for the party was perfect for my needs, but, realistically, it wouldn’t work for a party with a lot of guests.

This review is based strictly on my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed above. I was provided the sample free of charge by the company or PR agency and I provided my honest opinion. No other type of compensation was received for this review.

If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!

I have made several cake and cupcake stands with Cricut Chipboard and my Maker, and I really love making them! They are simple, and they can easily be taken apart and stored for later, or even thrown out after the party because they are simple and affordable to make!

This Menorah is ready for cake in less than 5 simple DIY steps!

To make your own Menorah Cake Stand, you will need just a few things:

Cricut Maker and Knife Blade

Hot Glue Gun and Glue

Foil or Doily

Step 1:

Prepare the Chipboard by allowing it to acclimate to the temperature and humidity for 24 hours. {I actually leave mine open all the time} Place the chipboard on a strong grip cutting mat and tape the edges down. {Standard grip mats will work in a pinch, if necessary}

Step 2:

Open this cut file and send it to cut. It will take several hours. It is very intricate, and it has to be cut about 20 times for each piece.

Step 3:

After the menorahs and base have been cut, you can paint it. I chose to use spray paint. It’s fast, easy, and covers evenly. {You need to cover the topper foil or a doily. Generally, paint is not considered food safe}

Step 4:

After the paint has dried, assemble the menorah. It will slide together like an X. I chose to hot glue the menorah together and I glued the circle on top of each of the menorah flames. This definitely made it a lot more stable.

My menorah’s foot print was too small to really be stable, so I edited the cut file. Your menorah will look slightly different than the one in the photos.
