Cupcake Paper Flower Lights

In the middle of November I think we could all use some May flowers. I thought these gorgeous flower lights would cure the cold weather blues. Making these floral garlands couldn't be faster- all you need are cupcake wrappers, some string lights, scissors, and an exacto knife.


Step 1: To make the petals-fold a small cupcake paper 2 times ( to make an 8 petal flower fold 3 times and to make a 16 petal flower fold 4 times) and cut a leaf shape with the folded point at the bottom

Step 2: Cut a small X in the center of each paper
Step 3: Layer cupcake papers on each light bulb to make flowers
