Did you know that cupcake liners aren’t just for cooking? Oh yes! They can be used to create the most beautiful cupcake liner wreaths! And guess what? I am ready to give you the scoop to this DIY project.
This cupcake liner wreath project was a huge hit with my 7 year old daughter. She is very much into baking right now; creations of all kinds are mixed up in our kitchen and all without following a recipe. Some turn out fabulous and others are chalked up to a learning experience. But, I love that she is so interested in creating in the kitchen with her apron and cooking hat.
For this project, if you want to wear a stylish apron go ahead, but it’s definitely not required.
Supplies you will need:
(Affiliate links are provided below for supplies with asterisk. For more information, see my full disclosure here.)
- *grapevine wreath
- *cupcake liners-I used 2 packages of Martha Stewart mini’s
- *bakers twine or lace
- craft glue and hot glue
- scissors
Remove the bottom of the cupcake liners with a scissors by cutting through the side of the liner and then around the entire bottom.
Now it is time to sit in front of the TV during your favorite show and roll the sides as shown above. These will form into small florets. Glue the end closed on each one.
Start designing your flowers. There were various patterns and shades of liners in the packages. This made it simple to create unique individual flowers.
Choose your middle floret and then hot glue 6 others around the middle floret.
Once you have enough flowers to fill the perimeter of the grapevine wreath, select where each flower will be placed on the wreath.
Hot glue the flowers on the top of the wreath.
Add your choice of lace or bakers twine for hanging. You now have a sweet little wreath for decorating. The great part of this project is that it is very kid-friendly. Kiddos can cut the liners and then roll the florets. I would recommend that an adult do the hot gluing. I have burned my fingers many a times and it is not fun.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial for making my version of a cupcake liner wreath. Be sure to follow Dandelion Patina on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

Absolutely, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by for the tutorial.
I’ve seen cupcake liner projects, and they all look pretty, but your wreath is seriously gorgeous! I had no idea it was made from cupcake liners until I read the title of the post. Who knew they could look this good??
Jenny, thank you so much. I really can’t wait to make more. There are so many cool patterns in cupcake liners, so coordinating it with your home decor should be pretty easy.
Who knew cupcake liners could looks so pretty! I am always baking and have a ton of extras might need to make this.
Valerie, thank you! Yes, you definitely should make one.

What a fantastic idea:-)
Love it, but I bet it was a hell of a work to make this wreath:-)
Greetings from Poland:-)
Anita, wow…Poland! Thanks for taking time to visit me here. I will not lie, it did take some time to roll the wreath florets, but when you have a few little helpers and a good TV show, it goes relatively quick. Have a great week.
This is so cute! And it would look so perfect on my interior kitchen door! Question: was this a full-size grapevine wreath or a smaller one? Thanks for the tutorial, it’s easy to follow ~
Mary
Mary, it was a smaller one….maybe around 8″ or so. It was not a full size wreath. I hope that helps.
I am absolutely in love with this wreath project! How very creative! Thanks so much for sharing at my Creative Ways Link Party! I hope you’ll be back to share this week!
Blessings,
Nici
Absolutely, thank you so much Nici!
WOW I am blown away by how pretty this is! Something about lace, natural tones and pink has me every time. I guess we are long lost soul sisters based on how beautiful this turned out! I can’t wait to give this a shot.
Rachel, thank you for your sweet comment! Have a great week.
This is gorgeous!! I have to try it. Thanks so much for sharing at The Creative Circle. Pinning and sharing!!
Kathy, yes, you have to try them out. Get some little helpers to roll the florets for you. Thanks so much for sharing.

Cecilia, thank you so much. I am so glad you like it.
This is such an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing it. I’m Anita visiting from Link Party Palooza.
Anita, thank you so much. The wreaths are fun to create.
Adorable idea! Right now we have an empty wreath hook on the front of our door. 🙁 I need to get crafting. I have never made a wreath, but this looks simple. I think I could do it.
Kelli, you can definitely create this wreath! It is overall pretty simple. That wreath hook is calling for some attention….fall is right around the corner, find some fun liners with a fall theme/color. Good luck!
This looks sooo strikingly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Awww, thank you Jenn.
Such a sweet wreath! Love the colors for a baby shower or girly garden party. Shared it on my Sweet & Stylish Baby Shower / Birthday board on Pinterest 🙂
Nadya, thank you so much!

Just 3 words: Just. So. Adorable.
Here from Create Link, Inspire.
Yay! So glad you like my little wreath. Thank you.
I have a couple of questions for you. I can’t believe how cute this is and that its cupcake liners. They definitely don’t look like cupcake liners. I know I could make this.
Here are my questions. Do you have to use a glue gun? Can’t you just use Aileen’s glue in a bottle? I ask because like you I have burned my fingers on a glue gun and I’d like to eliminate that problem. Also, glue guns leave a lot of strings that look sloppy and you have to get rid of. I don’t want to do that.
Do you have to use a grapevine wreath? I think a styrofoam wreath is nice and it’s cheaper, plus I can get a small one like I did for another wreath project. I don’t want a big one as I would like to hang it in our living room. We have a wall it would look good on.
Thank you for showing us this and I can’t wait to make one!
Gail, I would think that you could definitely use Aileen’s glue. I used a glue gun because I wanted the pieces to dry quickly. Yes, I did have strings of glue that I needed to pull off. No, you do not need to use a grapevine wreath. I just liked the contrast. I am sure a styrofoam wreath would work just fine. I do know that the dollar store does have grapevine wreaths, so can be done very inexpensively. Let me know how it works out for you.
