Cupcake Flower Craft
Making crafts like this one with the kids is so much fun. This one is so easy that even little kids like preschoolers can help make it. Like this craft on how to make an apple out of a paper bag, a paper plate fish craft, and this adorable handprint bird in a torn paper nest
This paper flower craft would be the perfect craft for Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Make these flowers from cupcake liners in school as Mother’s Day gifts or at a school party for Valentine’s Day. Everyone will be so excited to receive these flowers from the kids.
What I Love about this Paper Flower Craft
- little kids can easily make this cupcake liner flower craft
- with so many fun cupcake liner designs, you can create a colorful bouquet out of paper
- There are very few supplies, and you probably have them at home right now.
Supplies for these Paper Flowers
Cupcake Wrappers – I used Martha Stewart wrappers with a scalloped edge.
Green Pipe Cleaners – if you want to make a fancy cupcake liner flower then you can use flower stems from the floral sections of your local craft store. If you use flower stems, then you might consider getting floral tape, and silk leaves
Mini Cupcake Wrappers – The mini cupcake liner will be the center of the flower. It is fun to use a vibrant color for the middle cupcake liner as a stark contrast to the outside liners
Regular-Sized Cupcake Wrappers – You can use any color of cupcake liner, but I used a variety of pinks and reds
Equipment Needed
Hole Punch – You’ll use this to punch a hole in the cupcake liners and secure them together with your pipe cleaner
How to Make Paper Flowers out of Cupcake Liners
(for each flower)
Step One
- Stack a mini cupcake wrapper and two regular-sized wrappers together, with the mini wrapper in the center.
- Fold the cupcake wrappers and punch a hole in the center of the liners.
- Push the top of the pipe cleaner through the hole and fold it over. Twist it so it is securely in place
- Open up the wrappers
- Scrunch the mini wrapper so it creates folds like a flower.
- Do that to the other two wrappers individually
Expert Tips
