Cupcake lovers… why not decorate with the fundamental piece of a cupcake…. the wrapper. The outcome is stunning. Choose to go classic white, or purchase some colored or patterned wrappers, the possibilities are endless. Definitely an inexpensive DIY project.

How-to :

Cupcake wrappers become funky abstract art. Here’s how: Look for a rippled plastic sheet used for industrial lighting covers. We found ours at a local home center. Use a large ruler and a crafts knife to cut the plastic sheet into four equal-size squares. Set the squares on a flat surface or floor. Arrange your cupcake liners on top–the more random the pattern, the better.

When you’re happy with the placement of the cupcake liners, use a droplet of glue to affix the liners to the plastic sheets. Because the liners are thin, the glue will bleed through the paper, so add more liners inside to hide the glue spots. Use a glue stick to attach the second layer of liners; it won’t show through the paper. Use strong glue to attach a picture hanger to the back, or attach to the wall using strong adhesive dots.
