I was having a browse on Pinterest, as you do, and came across an idea for making flowers from cupcake cases. This appealed to me in a quick, easy and not too messy kind of a way, so I took note for the next time the wee girl asked to do a craft.
I didn’t have to wait for long!
You will need:
A sheet of paper
Cupcake cases, I used regular and mini ones, flattened
Glue stick
Green paper/card, cut into strips
I laid out everything that she would need and helped her with the first flower so that she knew what to do. Using a glue stick rather than PVA glue meant that she could manage the whole activity without too much input from me.
Start by sticking down a green strip of card for the stem of your flower. Then stick a flattened cupcake case onto the stem. We did a mix of small flowers using just a mini case and larger flowers using both a regular and mini case.
She enjoyed doing this activity so much that as soon as this garden of cupcake case flowers was complete, she started another one!
Beautiful im going to think of these when my grandchildren are bigger xxxx
Such a simple, fun activity x
they look fab, unfortunately my kids have all left home now, but i love to pass on ideas to my sister who has a 4yo daughter
Thank you the wee girl really enjoyed it, I’m sure your niece would too x
Too cute!
Thank you!
What a good idea. I have a bot of a cake wrapper addiction so this would be great for the ones that have gone out of shape x
It was a really fun and easy one to do :)
These flowers look really cute! It would make such lovely decor for the wall or as a card. #letkidsbekids
They would make a good card :)
Cute idea! I must try this! :) x
Thank you x
So cute! I must make these with my nieces! #LetKidsBeKids
Thank you :)
They look great, very pretty. I like the way she could do this pretty much on her own. That would make a lovely birthday card too x
Thanks for linking #LetKidsbeKids
Yeah, it was great that it was simple enough for her to do by herself, she likes it when she doesn’t need help x
These look lovely and I’m a fan of anything non-messy! #minicreations

So pretty, simple to do and very happy to look at! Your photos are ace too!

Thank you, I’m sure she’d love to make a garden :)
