Cupcake Wreaths
I just found this creative cupcake creation on another blog. I dont think I’ll make a wreath like this because it looks a bit like those Halloween/Christmas wreaths you put on your door…but if this is your “thang” as my cousin says…
Alternatively, I love the idea of making flowers from a cupcake – this could be an interesting way to dress up your little cupcakes – maybe even using different coloured cupcake cases?
and up close…
Instructions:
1. Begin by pinning the end of your ribbon to the backside of your wreath form using your flat-head pins. Wrap your wreath form with the ribbon slowly and carefully, overlapping slightly, until your form is completely covered. The smaller the overlapping is, the less ribbon you will use. Trim your ribbon tail, and secure on the backside with a pin. (see figure 1)
2. Cut a short length of ribbon for a hanger, make it into a loop, and pin it to the back of the wreath. (see figure 2)
3. Take one of your baking cups, fold in half, then quarters, then eighths to make a small fan shape. Hold it at the point, and cut your fan into a tear-drop shape. Unfold and flatten the paper. Your paper should be shaped like a flower. (see figure 3)
4. Take another baking cup, and place it in the center of your flattened flower. Stick a flat-head pin through both paper layers. (see figure 4)
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 and create 35 – 40 flowers.
6. Pin all of your blooms to your wreath form, leaving a slight gap between the flowers. (see figure 5)
7. Take your circle punch, and punch out one circle from your decorative paper for each flower.
8. Adhere a circle in the center of each flower using paper glue (see figure 6)
9. Use your floral craft punch to punch out 20 flowers from your second sheet of decorative paper. Stick a round-headed pin through the center of each flower. Randomly stick the flowers into the wreath form. (see figure 7)
10. Display your wreath on a door, wall, or on the back of a chair, It hardly weighs a thing, so it only takes a pushpin or tack to hang it.
