Robot Cards Made From Cupcake Liners
Hi my crafty readers! If you have been loving the cupcake liner kid crafts on the Glued To My Crafts Blog – you are going to love today’s cupcake liner robot craft post!
As you may know, I have a sweet little boy that calls me mom. Although I personally love everything pink and glittery – I do love a kid friendly craft that is geared more towards boys. Especially if it’s something HE can make AND gift away at the same time.
Today we are adding this Cupcake Liner Robot Card tutorial to the website archives and it’s absolutely PERFECT for boys {and girls!} to make and drop in the mailbox this afternoon.
It’s not only super fun for kids of all ages, but we are talking complete customization at their fingertips and it only will cost you a few cents to pull together!
So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab our supplies and make our own “one-of-a-kind” cupcake liner and paper robot cards to show off! The possibilities are endless on this one and I hope we inspire you to send some happy mail to someone special today!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper robot cards made from cupcake liners, on our Facebook page! I just LOVE seeing the inspiration come to life in your home! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
* First flatten out ONE silver cupcake liner, per card, with your hands.
* Now, using your scissors, cut off a little bit of the cupcake liner to make a more “square” head shape for your robot friend. Just a sliver off on two opposite sides.
* Next glue that cupcake liner to the front of your cardstock card. This may take some extra effort but it’s super easy for kids to do.
* Once the cupcake liner is down, it’s time to decorate! Grab your remaining cardstock pieces and trim out robotic pieces to give the robots life {think hard line shapes, like squares and rectangles for his ears & mouth}
* To finish the cupcake liner robots on card fronts, have children glue on the cardstock pieces to the cupcake liner shape and add other embellishments that you see fit to make their robots. I added rhinestone noses, wiggle eyes and a pipe cleaner antenna.
* Then write a sweet message inside and gift away to friends & family!
