{Craft Tutorial}: The "un-cupcake"

Here is a super easy craft to do for Valentine's.

The great thing that I realized after doing it though...

is that there are so many other uses than just Valentine's for this craft.

{I'll reveal those at the end of this post.}

First, you need your supplies:

*Styrofoam cone

{Got mine for $1 at Dollar Tree}

*Any cupcake fillers of your choice

{Mine are from last year's clearance sale at HL}

*Glue Gun/Glue or a strong glue adhesive

*Scissors

*Scrap felt, fabric, or paper

Next, fold your cupcake liners in half and then half again.

{The more times you fold it, the more poof-y it will be.}

After that, begin to glue your cupcake liners onto your Styrofoam cone.

{You can glue them as close as you want, and as many times as you want on each row.}

{I first pinned these three to make sure I like how far apart I glued them.}

Continue to glue your cupcake fillers all the way to the top of the cone.

Once you reach the top of the cone, you will have a small space to cover. 

{I choose to cover mine with a felt flower. You could also use fabric or paper.}

And...

The finished project is this!

A chic, little bit "messy," and cute Valentine's "Un-Cupcake."

;)
 

This would look great sitting on a shelf, counter, or coffee table with some other Valentine's decor.

It would also look fantastic as a table center piece for a Birthday party, supper with the girls, or a baby shower.

You can change the look by changing the:

colors

medium used for the cone (cupcake fillers, fabric, scrapbook paper, yarn),
{I was inspired by The Nester and her Coffee Filter Tree.}

and the topper you decide to use.

Possibilities are endless!
