So to start with, I bought 3 containers of the cupcake wrappers and it ended up being just enough.
P.S. You get double the papers since there is a white liner between the foil ones...just look at the pile of crafting fodder I have left! Maybe I'll have to make a Lotus Blossom Ball like Aunt Peaches' in the link above.
You'll need:
- Some kind of large ball, I used a paper lantern from Halloween (Dollar Store item!)
- Foil Cupcake Wrappers
- Hot Glue and Gun
1) Begin by gluing the wrappers onto the ball. **Remember that foil heats very well so be careful.
2.) When the ball is covered, you will glue another wrapper inside the ones already attached. First squish it a little...
...then glue it into the center of a wrapper.
I don't know if you can tell what you're looking at, but take a look at the wrappers below and you'll see the difference. |
That's really it. Just hang it in a spot where it will catch the light and you will have a beautiful party decoration.
OMG GURL, this is amazing!!!!!! I have seen several similar projects but no one has used the foil cups! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is another project I would live to hang up all year round.... Or do several small ones for next years Xmas tree. Where will the fun ever end?!?
So cute and fun! :) You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Terri! :)
ReplyDeleteBut... why not...
ReplyDelete1. Punch holes in cupcake foils and lantern
2. Insert led string lights from inside of lantern. Secure with little dot of hot glue.
3. Win.
