We recently had the pleasure of designing a bakery themed birthday party for a very special little lady. We wanted to focus on lot's and lot's of girlie colors. So here we sat, trying to dream up a really big and unique focal point sign. We started with a big ole pile of colorful cupcake wrappers and a large piece of pink poster paper. With glue gun in hand, here's what we came up with...
Here's the what's needed and how to:
What you need:
poster board/paper {our size was 25x18}
cupcake wrappers aprox 150-175
glue gun
How to:
1) create an outline. draw your number or letter in pencil onto the paper
2) start scrunching your cupcake wrappers by roughly folding into fours and creating a base at the bottom the size of a dime
3)placing a dollop of hot glue onto the base of the wrapper, glue the wrappers to the poster board. we found that working in rough lines of 3 and filling in as needed worked well.
4) admire your fantastic masterpiece!
It's really that simple!
