What to Do with Baking Supplies When You Don’t Bake

Ok, I know I am not the only one who roams the aisles of HomeGoods and TJMaxx looking for inexpensive decorative accessories and comes home with a bag full of the adorable baking supplies.  Lately my obsession has been with cupcake liners AND the only problem with that is that I don’t bake!!!

Well, there is a method to my madness!  Upon seeing stacks of cute and inexpensive cupcake liners sitting on the store shelves I started thinking about other creative ways I could use them.  After all they are just pieces of  patterned paper and patterned paper can be used in lots of ways, right?  As that thought was running through my head the idea hit me…use them to decorate wrapping paper.

So here  it is, my latest Gift Wrap Inspiration using Cupcake Liners!

THE INGREDIENTS:  Decorative Cupcake Liners

 

Solid Color Wrapping Paper

My new favorite Paper Ribbon from PaperJacks

THE PROCESS: 

Wrap your gift box in the wrapping paper

Wrap a band of Paper Ribbon around the box

Create a Paper Ribbon bow and attach it to the center of the box

Iron your Cupcake Liners flat with an iron set on low heat

Attach the Cupcake Liners randomly over the surface of the box with double-sided tape

THE RESULTS: A Pretty Darn Cute Gift!

I’m going to love wrapping gifts with all the cupcake liners I bought, and if I ever decide to take up baking cupcakes I’m ahead of the game!
