DIY Cupcake Liner Flowers: Create your own Paper Flower Carnation

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.

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 2 holes in centre of all 8 liners using a bobby pin or a push pin.

Step 4:

Thread your ribbon through one hole, loop and back out the other. Tie or twist the string/wire together.

Step 5:

Once you have secured the string/wire take one layer of the liners, squish and pinch together at the bottom. 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 to make a garland. For wire you can you as the stem to make a bouquet. These are also great as box and cake toppers!

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!
