#349_How to Make Cupcake Wrappers

Let me share with you a DIY cupcake wrappers using paper doilies, the idea of which I saw on Pinterest.

                                     

The wrappers on the left are cut out from the doilies and the ones on the right are the store-bought laser-cut ones which are kind of pricey.

These doilies are $1.00 for a pack of 10 at the Dollar Store.

First, make a template: or you can download one from the net.

Wrap a piece of paper around a cupcake, tape the seams together, then mark where you want to cut it out. Make sure to mark about 3/8 of an inch above the rim of the cupcake.

                                         Take out the paper and cut out along the marked lines.

 Open it up and use this template to trace it with a pencil on the back side of the doilies.(I used a marker pen so the marks will show in the picture) You can stack up your doilies as many as your scissors can cut. You can get 3 wrappers out of one doily, which  means that out of the 10 pieces you'll get 30 wrappers just for a dollar!! How cheap can that be?!

This wrapper is made from a doily paper.

You can also make your wrappers out of gift wrap papers for birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers or any occasion.
