We love all the creative ideas out there for making your own cupcake stands. We've pined our favorites here and even found a great video tutorial. See how easy and cost saving it can be to make your own cupcake stand.
Thanks for the GREAT tutorial, but is this food safe? Can it be used for direct food contact, i.e. cookies, brownies? I know the cupcakes are in paper wrappers but can the chemicals from the paint be absorbed thru the wrapper?
I found this information on non-toxic spray paint:
Martha Stewart Crafts ® Paint
Unique, patented Martha Stewart Crafts ® Decorative Arts Paint is formulated to work on all crafting surfaces, indoors and out, and is even dishwasher-safe. Includes 180 non-toxic, USA-made colors, hand-selected by Martha and available in five versatile finishes.
I found that Krylon makes a non-toxic latex spray paint, limited retailers sell it, but they have it on Seas.com. I would still recommend that you do not put food directly on the painted surface, even if you use a non toxic paint. I would put cookies on decorative napkins, or in cupcake liners, possibly on a plate on top of the painted surface. Many non-toxic paints say they are not intended for direct contact with food.

I also found this on Etsy, which needs to be applied with a brush and heated in the oven after dried, but it says it is food safe. http://www.etsy.com/listing/65223194/bella-paint-for-glass-clay-and-metal?ref=shop_home_active_19
