DIY Christmas Ornaments Using Cupcake Liners
Learn how to make handmade Christmas ornaments with metallic cupcake liners!
Step 1:
Fold the top and bottom of the cupcake liner, using the top and bottom edges of the center circle as guides. Then, flatten it.
Fold it in half to create a crease.
Unfold, then flip it over.
Fold the sides toward the center.
Step 2:
Fold it in half, then unfold it. Apply glue to the bottom center and fold it in half again. Make a total of 14 pieces.
Step 3:
Take one folded cupcake liner and apply hot glue in an L shape, as shown below. Place another folded cupcake liner on top. Repeat with the remaining pieces until they are all glued together.
Take the ribbon, fold it in half and glue the ends together. Glue the glued part of the ribbon on one end of the cupcake liner folds.
Step 4:
Apply hot glue to the other end in the same L shape used in Step 3. Immediately unfold the cupcake liners to form a circle, then glue the ends together to complete the ornament.
Pro Tip
- Make sure all the pieces are folded correctly and are the same size.
- Hot glue dries quickly, so be sure to work fast.
