My 2nd oldest turned four this weekend and her party was loosely cupcake themed. The night before, I whipped up a cute wreath using colourful paper cupcake liners.
I started with a foam wreath form, a lot of pretty cupcake liners, and some pins.
I turned the liners inside out so that the print was facing in, and then crumpled the bottom into soft folds to make a ruffle-y flowery shape.
And then pinned them to the wreath form.
After covering the wreath form in the scrunched liners, I filled in any bare spots with a mini cupcake liner pinned straight into the bare spot.
Voila!
Although this one was for a birthday party, I think it would be cute as party of a spring or Easter vignette too!

ReplyDeleteYour wreath looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI made one of these wreaths a few months ago. Super simple and cost friendly!
With love from Teri not anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome and actually something I think I might be able to do!!!! Just one question - how did you tie the ribbon? around the wreath? or did you staple to the back? Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I attached the ribbon to the back with a greening pin. A staple would work just as well :)
Deleteyep, pretty cute! that takes the cupCAKE!
ReplyDeleteWow that is soo cute!! perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteSo cheerful! It was definitely worth it to make it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable! Are you going to do a post on the whole birthday party?

Very cute and perfect for spring!! Where did you get your cupcake liners? They are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Looks so cheerful and great for spring and Easter!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get all the cute liners? And at what cost???
ReplyDeleteI bought mine at the craft store Michaels. I'm sure Hobby Lobby would be another good place to look.
DeleteMichael's has the cutest cupcake liners for $1 and sometimes on clearance for 50 cents!!! Best place to buy them if you can.
DeleteHi! My best friend posted your post about the comments people make when they see your "large" family and it was great! I also love when people ask me So are you done? I really need to come up with a witty response to that one. Anyways I read some other things on your blog and you made me laugh! Thanks for that! I hope that I can read more another time! Have a great day!

I love it. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is very cute! Perfect for spring and using up extra cupcake liners.
ReplyDeleteAbout how many liners did you use? Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI think I used about 150 liners. Although I didn't keep track, so it's hard to say for sure!
DeleteI love this! And would also love to know how many liners you used. :) soooooo cute!

ReplyDeleteHow many liners did you use and what size of wreath did you use? How much did the finished wreath cost? Thank you for the post.
Gorgeous! Do you have "how to" for the flag banner below?

DeleteLove the wreath and also love how you say you "just whipped it up." Wish I had that creative/crafty gene! I would love to see posts of the party. your banner is also very cute!
ReplyDeleteI think that you are the most creative practical person I have ever 'seen'.... I love your great ideas and I love how easy and accessible they are.
ReplyDeleteLoved this! I had four boys...so this probably wouldn't have been thrilling to them....but I'm now "grandma" to a beautiful baby girl...and look forward to doing all things pink!

This is a great tutorial! I wondered how to make these - your wreath turned out so cute too. Shared on our Facebook wall today. :)
ReplyDeleteI found this on Pintrest and love it! May plan to do third for my niece's birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your wreath think I will try one
ReplyDeleteI love your wreath! It's so cheery looking!
ReplyDeleteYah I did it and it was easy! love it and thank you for your tutorial!
ReplyDeleteWhat sized wreath did you use? I'm afraid regular cupcake liners would be overwhelming if I used too small a wreath.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! Thanks for the inspiration! xx Holly
