How to Make Paper Flowers From Cupcake Liners
These paper flowers made from baking cups are a simple and charming craft that can be used for Valentines, decorations, gifts, or just as a fun creative project!
- Fold four paper baking cups into half and lay two out flat.
2. Punch a hole 1/4 inch from the edge on the four folded papers.
3. Fold the other two papers in half and punch off the edge to make a hole in the center of the baking cup (like paper on the left side), and open it back up.
4. Place four folded papers onto a sucker stick, overlapping 1/4 of the baking cup each time a piece of paper is added. Then place two open papers.
How to make masking tape leaves
You are going to be shocked at how realistic these leaves look and you only use masking tape and wire.
- Lay two pieces of green masking tape about 7 inches long, sticky side facing up. Place a piece of wire in the center of one piece.
- Put sticky sides together with wire sandwiched in the middle.
- Cut a leaf shape at each end with 1 inch trimmed in the middle.
- Twist leaves underneath paper baking cups. It is easy to write to and from on the masking tape leaves.
So cute! What a fun little project that even kids can do!
