Baking cup flowers make wonderful valentines. Isn't it incredible that simple muffin cups could become beautiful flowers?
Supplies:
- Green sellotape
- Regular hole punch
- Paper baking cups
- Wire
- Scissors
- Suckers or lollipops
Instructions:
- Fold four paper baking cups into half and lay two out flat.
- Punch a hole 1/4 inch from the edge on the four folded papers.
- Fold the other two papers in half and punch off the edge to make a hole in the center of the baking cup (like the paper on the left side). Open back up.
- Place four folded papers onto sucker stick, overlapping 1/4 of the baking cup each time a paper is added.
- Then place two open papers.
- Lay out two pieces of green masking tape about 7 inches long, sticky side facing up.
- Place a piece of wire in the center of one piece. Put sticky sides together, with wire sandwiched in the middle.
- Cut a leaf shape at each end, with 1 inch trimmed in the middle.
- Twist leaves underneath paper baking cups.
So cute! What a fun little project that even kids can do. Fold the four center papers in 1/4 to make a pie shape for a different look. Arrange papers on a sucker stick for another beautiful flower. Mini muffin cup papers can be folded either way for mini flowers.
