Inspired By Pinterest - Paper Cupcake Liner Decoration

It's almost birthday time again for us!  I'm not sure how I feel about my 'baby' turning 5 - I'll get back to you in a few weeks!
 Luckily I have my handy, creative sidekick (Pinterest) to bail me out when I draw a blank for party and decorating ideas.  (Especially when the almost-5-year-old doesn't want a "theme" for his party!?!?)
  
I made this 5, using colorful paper cupcake liners!


The idea came from this pin, originally from Beth at Beth Kruse Custom Creations.

Photobucket

I simply cut the 5 from cardboard and painted it white.


I put two of the liner papers together back-to-back (turn one inside out) and used a chop stick to form them.  Then I glued them to the board.


The whole project took less than 20 minutes and I used fewer than 100 liners, so it was very inexpensive.


Cute and simple! I plan to hang it eventually, but he loves his 5 and carries it around with him everywhere!





Thank you Beth, for the inspiration! Please grab a button!

  4. Great idea - a number - what a great craft for a birthday - or a special occasion. Mrs. Smith and the rest of us made 3 wreaths from coffee filtes a few years back - it was an assembly line. Mrs. Smith finally sold the last one a month or so ago in her store. I see a new idea rising. Thanks for sharing.
