Project Notes:

Instructions:
- Using a pair of wire cutters, trim a bamboo skewer to desired length and set aside. Be sure to keep the pointy tip intact at one end.
- Pull apart 6 colorful cupcake liners, plus one green liner and flatten them out.
- Stack the 6 cupcake liners in the color of your choice and add a green one too if you want greenery leaves (as shown).
- Fold the stack in half, then in half again, then in half one more time.
- Trim the top edge of the folded stack into a rounded edge so it resembles a teardrop shape.
- Place a hot glue blob at the non point end of the skewer.
- Working color side down, poke a hole in the center of a cupcake liner and slide upward, scrunching it around the other end where the glue blob is to anchor it into place. Let the glue cool for a minute to create a nice, sturdy base for your flower.
- Continue adding more cupcake liners to the skewer, anchoring each one with a glue blog.
- Repeat until all 6 flower petal (color) liners have been added.
- Finish up with the green cupcake liner last.
- Let the flower completely cool and dry.
- Done! Use for a cake or cupcake topper, festive skewer, drink decor and more!
