Recently I stumbled upon an adorable little Whimsical Valentine Wreath over at Tatertots & Jello. And you are not going to believe what it is made out of....cupcake liners! How ingenious! You can view her entire tutorial [here]. And this is what her wreath looked like:
And this is the one I made:
To make this you will need:
- a Styrofoam wreath (I used the one pictured above from Hobby Lobby. It's the 10" Styrofoam extruded wreath.)
- wide ribbon
- cupcake liners (I used about 150 liners since my wreath was large.)
- hot glue gun
- LOTS of hot glue
[Step 1: Tightly wrap the entire foam wreath with some wide ribbon. Fold 1 cupcake liner like a flower, by folding the bottom of the liner to a point.]
[Step 2: Place a glob of hot glue onto the wreath, and then carefully place the folded cupcake over the glue. Hold it there for a few seconds to secure its placement.]
[Step 3: You will repeat step 2 many, many times. I found it easier to work in sections, to allow each section to cool properly. Once I had all 4 corners of the wreath completed, I filled in the gaps with more liners. I placed the liners in sort of a staggered pattern: started with one liner in the center, then staggered another liner on the inside and outside of the wreath. Does that make sense? Once you find a pattern that works for you, it will go by very quickly.]
[Voila! A beautiful cupcake liner wreath. I have to say I am quite proud of it!]
I made 2 of these wreaths for a retirement party I threw this past weekend. Stay tuned tomorrow for details and photos!
Linking up to these [parties]!
Happy "Party Week"! :0)

Thanks you guys! Yes, a green one is definitely in order. Just Jen, I am so excited to have you as a new follower! Silly eagle books, I bought the cupcake liners in the Easter section at Hobby Lobby. :0)
ReplyDeleteCute! I think yours turned out even cuter! I bought those cupcake liners yesterday. I may need to go back and get a few hundred more! ;) Visiting from Tip Junkie.
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLOVE it. What a great way to use those super cute cupcake liners! Do you go all the way around the back or just make it full leaving the back flat?
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. I love these even more than the coffee-filter wreaths! The texture is incredible.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I will have to put this on my list of things to try! I am visiting from Sugar and Dots and am a NEW follower!

Your blog is fabulous by the way :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I have a giant jar full of cupcake liners, so maybe I will do this.

SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I've seen the coffee filter wreaths, but this is the first I have seen a cupcake liner wreath. Very cute! Just came across your blog and I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I made one with coffee filters, but I love the cupcake liner idea. Very versatile color-wise. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI am curious as to how you attached the ribbon to the back?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! I just hot-glued the ends of the ribbon to the wreath. Easy peasy!
