Instructions
Making a cover for your cake stand is a great way to add a unique, personal touch to your kitchen. This project is relatively simple and can be completed in an afternoon. Follow these steps to make your own homemade cover for a cake stand:
- Measure your cake stand. Measure the circumference and the height of your cake stand and mark it down.
- Cut the fabric. Using your measurements, cut two circles from the fabric that are the same size as your cake stand's circumference. Cut a strip for the stand's height, making it twice as wide as the height of the stand.
- Cut the interfacing. Cut two circles and one strip from the interfacing, using the same measurements as you used with the fabric.
- Iron the interfacing. Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric circles and strip.
- Sew the side seam. With right sides together, sew the long sides of the strip together to form a circular tube of fabric.
- Attach the tube to the circles. Place the tube over one of the circles, with the right sides together, and pin the seam together. Sew the two pieces together.
- Attach the circles. Place the other circle on top of the tube, with the right sides together, and pin the seam together. Sew the two pieces together.
- Turn it right side out. Turn the cover right side out, so that the interfacing is on the inside, and the fabric is on the outside.
- Iron the seams flat. Iron the seams flat, and make sure the fabric is lying flat.
- Place it on the cake stand. Place the cover on the cake stand, and enjoy your homemade cover!

Tips and Tricks
When shopping for fabric, make sure to choose something that is durable enough to withstand washing. If the cover will be used for food items, it's a good idea to choose a fabric that can be washed easily in case of spills. If you're in doubt, choose a machine-washable fabric.
When measuring the circumference and height of your cake stand, make sure to measure carefully. If the measurements are off, the cover may not fit properly. If possible, it's a good idea to make the cover slightly larger than the stand, as this will help ensure a proper fit.
If you are using lightweight fabric, it's a good idea to add a layer of lightweight interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric. This will help to give the fabric extra body and will help the cover keep its shape.
If you want to add a decorative touch to the cover, you can add buttons, bows, or other embellishments. This is a great way to customize the cover and make it your own.
When sewing the cover together, make sure to use a small stitch length. This will ensure that the seams are secure and the cover will not come apart easily.
Making a cover for your cake stand is a great way to get creative in the kitchen and add a unique touch to your home. With the right supplies and a bit of time, you can easily make a homemade cover for your cake stand. Have fun with it and enjoy your homemade cover!
