CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#114) Cupcakes in the Craft Room?

Hey Bloggers!

For today's tip I thought I would share a way to get the look of rosettes without all the folding, scoring or use of a die cut.
YOU INTERESTED?

Just take some of these:






Fold them in half & cut a semi circle from the center, unfold, gather in the center & adhere. That's all.
You can also just flatten out the liner & gather it up in the center all the while using adhesive to keep it in place but I found that cutting out the center works better and you don't lose the pleats.
You can also use a circle punch for the center inserting only half way, thus cutting a semi circle.

Here's one I made:



With all the different types of cupcake liners out there you are sure to find one for every occasion making this a versatile alternative to die cutting, scoring & folding.

Have a good week.

  9. This is genius. You know I noticed different shapes and colors of cupcake wrappers in Walmart a few weeks ago. Now I can't wait to go shop.
    Thank you!
