Materials Needed for Cupcake Liner Paper Flowers
- paper cupcake liners
- glue stick
- glue gun
- glass
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the cupcake liners
You need 12 cupcake liners for each flower. The number will depend on how full and layered you want your paper roses to be.
Gently flatten each liner, then fold into quarters.
Step 2: Assembling the paper flowers
Get your glass. Take one folded cupcake liner and place it over the rim so the sides hang loosely.
Add hot glue to the crimped end, then place another one, overlapping with the first cupcake liner.
Repeat the process all the way around.
For the next layers, place the cupcake liners in between the previously placed liners. Once you have used up all of the pieces, it should look like this.
Step 3: Removing the Flower
Turn the glass over, then carefully remove the flower.
Creative Ideas and Variations
- Customized look. Color the flattened cupcake liners with markers or watercolors before you begin the folding process. Just make sure they are completely dry before proceeding with the next steps.
- Add a touch of sparkle. Apply a thin line of glue to the edges of the petals, and then sprinkle glitter over it. Allow it to dry completely.
- Add texture. Glue small sequins or beads onto the surface of the petals.
