5 Steps to Create a Cupcake Paper Wreath…

March 18, 2013

In the previous post on the Crate&Barrel inspired candlesticks I mentioned that I picked up a pack of cupcake papers…and here’s why!  I’ve been seeing these wreaths all over Pinterest and decided it was about time to give it a try.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 – 12′ foam wreath

1- pack of push pins

1- pack of cupcake papers (100 count)

1- (optional) monogram letter

1- (optional) bushel of artificial Spring flowers

1- ribbon or wire for hanging

(my original plan was to add flowers to the wreath which I still think would be a great idea; in this case the push pins were not long enough to attach the flowers securely.  If you decide to add flowers, get sturdy pins!)

#1.  Flip Your Cupcake Papers Inside Out

#2.  Attach A Single Layer of Cupcake Papers to the Front of the Wreath

#3.  Attach a Single Layer to the Top and Inside Area of the Wreath

#4.  When all Layers Are Complete, Fold Individual Cupcake Papers in Half and Secure to the Wreath to Fill Any Gaps

#5.  Use Several Pins to Secure Monogrammed Letter to the Underside of Wreath
