   Lay your contact paper face down on a flat work surface. Place each plate of your cake stand on the paper and trace the circles with your pencil then carefully cut out each circle of your contact paper.

2. 

   Peel off the backing and adhere to each stand and press firmly for good hold.
   **Contact paper can be easily removed from the plastic by simply peeling it off, so do not worry about the removal later on.

3. 

   After each plate is covered with the contact paper, attach your black sequin craft trim to the outer rim of each stand plate with your double sided tape. Make sure that the trim is flush with the stand so that there is not a lip on top of the plate; this can cause the trim to pull off.

4. 

   Now, build your cake stand according to manufacturer’s instructions. Between each layer, wrap the pillar with the black satin ribbon; holding it in place with a strip of the double sided tape.

5. 

   To finish, attach black ribbon bows to the front of the stand (one on each layer) with your tape.
