I LOVE cupcakes! I also may have a problem with buying packages of cupcake liners just because they are cute. When I was brainstorming what I was going to create for my Valentines mantle, I remembered seeing garlands on Pinterest made out of Cupcake liners. How perfect for my {SWEET} mantle theme!
Naturally, I did not look up any of the garlands I had seen…Rather I just jumped right in (with the help of my 5-year old). I use the term “help” loosely on this one. Really, he just likes any opportunity to use my crafting supplies and tools.
It took me a couple tries to get it the way I like it, but the end result is pretty stinkin’ cute…If I do say so myself!
What you’ll need:
{cupcake liners, thread, twine or hemp, decorative beads}
How I made mine:
1. Poke holes in a few cupcake liners.
2. Leaving a length of twine for hanging, tie a knot on the twine.
3. Thread a bead onto the twine.
4. Thread a cupcake liner on to the twine.
5. Approximately two inches past the liner, tie another knot.
6. Repeat the pattern: knot, bead, liner until you have the length of garland you need.
Note: Cupcake liners are from Michaels dollar bin, Beads are from JoAnns and twine is from Close To My Heart. I had all on hand…great thing about this project! Use what you have.
So simple. easy. sweet!

So cute! I love the use of cupcake liners in so many projects lately. Thanks for sharing at the Pinterest CHallenge.
Thanks for visiting me! I think the garland turned out cute and would work for a baby shower or other occasion too.
