Growing a Cupcake Liner Flower Garden

I love cupcake liners both for baking and crafting.  There are so many fun colors and patterns.  I picked up some mini cupcake liners recently and had to find a project for them.

My kids have enjoyed helping me with the flowers this summer, so I decided to do a flower garden.

What you need to grow your cupcake liner flower garden

• Cardstock-I used blue for the background and green for grass, stems, and leaves
• Mini cupcake liners for flowers (any color)
• Yellow mini cupcake liner for sun
• Pom-pom-for center of flower
• Mini cupcake liner and 2 in pipe cleaner for butterfly (see instructions below)

Make a mini cupcake liner butterfly:

1. Fold a 2 mini cupcake liner in half
2. Fold the liners into quarters
3. Fold the tip of one liner over; leave the other liner as is
4. Place the liner with the folded tip over the other liner and glue
5. Cut a 2 in. piece of piper cleaner, fold in half an attach with a glue dot
6. Flip over and you have butterfly

I just free handed the grass, stems and leaves, but after cutting pieces for all 3 kids, I was wishing for a template.

Print one for yourself here on green cardstock: Stem & Leaves for Flower Garden

For the grass I cut a 1 1/2 in. piece off the bottom of a green sheet of cardstock. I then did a fringe cut to make it look like individual grass blades.

Instead of pom poms, you could use buttons for the center of the flowers.
