Today we’re going to be making an adorable muffin cup flower craft. It is perfect for both young and older children alike, requires minimal supplies and brings out their creative spirit.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Cupcake Liners
  • Cardstock Paper
  • School Glue or Glue Stick
  • Scissors
  • Printed Picture
  • optional – Paper Craft Punch

Directions:

  • First pick out a few muffin cups you want to use for the flower part. You can use as many as you like. I decided to use four, different colored cups for mine. Just make sure they all stack together nicely.
  • Then if you like, flatten them slightly with your hand and secure them all together with a little bit of glue, in between each. This is the flower bud of the craft.
  • Next up – cut out a flower stem and leaves out of your green cardstock paper.
  • Secure those pieces to another piece of different colored cardstock.
  • Now secure the stacked muffin cup piece from earlier, to the top of the flower stem piece.
  • Next grab your large paper punch or craft scissors & cut your child’s face out of the printed picture. You want it to fit nicely in the circle part of the muffin cup. Go ahead and secure it in place.
  • Finally – add a few heart stickers around the finished cupcake liner flower piece and maybe write a sweet message around it as well. Wouldn’t this be great to add the date in the corner, along with you child’s age & height to go with the saying “They grow like weeds!“
