Lemonade/Cupcake Stand

The girls bring been genuinely into baking the final several months together with bring been begging to practice a cupcake together with lemonade stand upwards all summer. We originally were but planning on using our folding tabular array but Lola was convinced "we should at to the lowest degree TRY to build something". I told them if nosotros had plenty fighting forest inwards the garage hence nosotros could. And lucky for them nosotros had but nigh all nosotros needed to brand one. This isn't genuinely a tutorial seeing how this was to a greater extent than of a makeshift projection that nosotros made upwards every bit nosotros went along but hither are a few quick jail cellular telephone shout out images hence yous tin encounter the full general sentiment of how nosotros constructed it.

We used 2 pieces of plywood for the 2 sides together with hence used 2 pieces leftover from when nosotros built our dining room tabular array for the top. I used our Kreg jig to brand unopen to steal holes together with hence seat the overstep pieces on the solid soil together with held the side upwards to a higher house it together with drilled them inwards together with hence flipped it upright. After that I added a niggling slice across the bottom together with overstep (right underneath the actual overstep boards) hence that nosotros would bring a agency to attach the front end pieces.

We didn't bring plenty pieces for the front end hence nosotros did bring to larn buy unopen to forest for this business office but nosotros liked the sentiment of doing alternating pinkish together with white pieces similar a drawing nosotros had seen on Ana White's website (if nosotros had started from scratch together with non used our fighting forest nosotros would bring used her tutorial) together with this turned out to move my favorite part!

The girls painted the boards together with the sides of the stand upwards spell I stained the overstep pieces together with hence I but screwed the pinkish together with white boards on together with hence added the overstep business office to tally the sign together with that was it for the edifice part. It's definitely far from perfect but it's overnice together with sturdy.

We used the banner from their sleeping room to add together unopen to fun coloring together with i of our one-time lemonade signs that nosotros used to sell inwards our shop. And hence the girls pass 2 days baking pumpkin bread, brownies together with lots of cupcakes to larn ready for their stand. They were hence excited. They did all the baking themselves (except the oven of course), together with I squirted out the icing spell they did the sprinkles (they genuinely ofttimes practice that business office themselves but nosotros were on a fleck of a fourth dimension squash that day). They bring had hence much fun doing it. They seat it upwards iv dissimilar times final calendar week together with bring gone through almost iv dozen cupcakes - ha!

Don't worry - the cupcakes weren't $7! That's Lillie's "fancy" $1. =)
