cupcake liner wreath

hope everyone had a great weekend.  from what i hear, today will be 80 degrees.  

get out and get some sun.

i've been eyeing up these cupcake liner wreaths for 3 reasons:

1. they're cute
2. they're cheap to make
3. you can coordinate with the holidays by using seasonal liners

before i show you what i did...and boy, did i over-do it...let me show you some of the cute ones floating around on the artsy-fartsy craft blogs.

here's a quick tutorial of how to make your own.

i folded all of the cupcake liners before i began.

with free hand, insert donut hole into mouth while waiting for glue to cool.  repeat.

i took the advice of tatertots and jello and started in four different areas and worked my way around them.

my intention was to make a quick and easy wreath to adorn my front door.  

was it easy?  yes.  

quick? well, not so much.  it was my own fault.  

if you dare to venture on this project...be sure to wrap the wreath in ribbon with whatever color wrappers you are using.  i could see the straw through were i glued the wrappers.  i used about 300 wrappers, when i probably could have gotten away with using 100.

it came out a little too bridal for my taste.
i love the blue ribbon, but i may change it out for something pink for dd's room.

target locked.

 

going in for the kill.

hope you give it a try.  although mine came out bigger than i intended, i am pleased with the end results.  if you do try, please send me a picture...i'll post it up on here.

we're heading out soon to the local farm to pet some farm animals, get some sun,  and pick up some cider donuts.  win. win. win.

have a fabulous day!
