inch) board then 30cm (12 inch), 22cm (9 inch), and for the top a 15cm
(6 inch)
board.

square boards or if you prefer a
different shape you can cut these to shape using large pieces of
foamcore.

with a thick foil paper.The
edge of each of the boards should be
trimmed neatly and cover the edges with a ribbon to match your color
theme.

tiers you can use almost anything.
You can
purchase clear vases which are strong and wide
enough to support each tier, fill these with decorative stone,
seashells or
flower petals.

paint them in a color
to match your theme.
