I’ve already made different cupcake liner flowers, and a lot of people loved them.

How to Make Paper Flowers With Cupcake Liners
Learn how to make easy paper flowers with these step-by-step instructions.
Stacking and and cutting
Stack 9 cupcake liners. I used 2 yellow, 2 pink, 2 light pink, and 3 green. Once stacked, cut the sides in 8 sections, just like in the photo below.
Cutting the petals
Cut the top part of each one into a point.
Adding the cupcake liners
Poke the skewer through the center of the first cupcake liner, add hot glue to the top of the skewer, then crumple the liner around it. Be very careful, as the glue is hot.
Making the flower
Repeat step 3 with the remaining cupcake liners.
Covering the stem
Cover the skewer with floral tape.
Making the leaves
Fold a cupcake liner in half three times, then cut out a leaf shape. Take one of the leaves and glue a floral wire to the center.
Gluing the leaves
Top the leaf with floral wire with another leaf. Repeat the process to make more leaves. Glue them to the stem, then cover the ends with floral tape.
Making adjustments
Bend the leaves, and slightly separate the petals and you are done!
Crafting Tip
Experiment with different color combinations!
