Cupcake Liner Flowers: DIY Wedding Wednesday

Little cupcake liner roses or chrysanthemums depending on how you look at it are a lovely way to add a pretty accent to your wedding. Wrap them around your program or favour boxes, Make a single flower in to a place card, make a flower wreath for your flower girl… the list can go on and on and on.



So let’s get right to it and help you make one of these cupcake liner flowers. We would love to see
what you do or intend to do with them so be sure to comment with your ideas below or send us a photo at renee@thebeginningofforever.ca and we will feature them on a future DIY Wednesday.

 

What you will need:

1. Cupcake liners (assorted in colours would be great)
   
2. A push pin or thin bobby pin and a needle threader
   
3. Ribbon/thin rope or pipe cleaners

 

Step 1:

 

Separate 8 cupcake liners. If you got the assorted colour pack they are (usually) already separated in 8 per colour.

 

Step 2:

 

Flatten each liner and restack.

 

Step 3:

 

Poke whole in centre of all 8 liners using a bobby pin or a push pin.

 

Step 4:

 

Thread your ribbon through one whole and back out the second. Tie the string together in a knot. If you are using a pipe cleaner poke the pipe cleaner through one whole bend and poke through second whole. Wrap pipe cleaner around itself on other side.

 

Step 5:

 

Once you have secured the ribbon/rope or pipe cleaner take one layer of the liners and pinch together at the bottom centre of the liner. Repeat this until all 8 are pinched around each other to create a flower.

 

VOILA!

 

 

You are all finished.. if you have it on a ribbon you can add as many more as the ribbon will hold. And if using pipe cleaner keep going until you have enough!

These are such a great way to add a pop of colour through out your wedding ceremony and reception. They are also great for all the parties before and after your wedding. If you add them to each event it sets the tone of continuity to your guest. Also because they are paper you can keep them for quite a while so remember to collect all the ones left behind and re-use them at home for some awesome home decor umph!
