Cupcake Liner Umbrella Cards – Kid Craft

Rain, rain – go away! Come again another day!

If I didn’t know any better, I would say Wyoming got the memo late about April showers bringing May flowers… at least it’s better than snow, right?

And with a creative {and positive} spin on the dreary weather outside our window, it did however inspire the latest Cupcake Liner Umbrella craft tutorial that I’m sharing with you all today. And like always – this kid friendly craft is super easy, really inexpensive and totally customizable with supplies you probably have on hand all ready {just think of all the cupcake liner color combinations!} Plus since it’s a card, it’s the perfect excuse to lift up someone else who “might” be feeling under the weather these days!

So don’t let the weather get your down – grab those craft supplies and get to work on creating some of your own fun cupcake liner and paper umbrella cards with your child today!!!

Happy crafting with your little ones, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your paper umbrella cards with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for your umbrellas! #gluedtomycrafts

PAIR YOUR UMBRELLA CARDS WITH: Cupcake Liner Waffle Friend Card – Kid Craft

Paper Umbrella Card Craft Supplies:

* Large Cupcake Liners {one per umbrella card}
* White Cardstock
* Brown Colored Cardstock
* Cardstock Cards {I went with a square shaped card}
* Glue Stick or Tape Runner
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Blue Glitter Glue
* Blue Loose Craft Glitter
* optional – Heart/Stars Stickers, Rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First things first – grab ONE large cupcake liner {one per umbrella card} and flatten it out with your hands.
* Next fold it in half and glue it together, in the center, to make the umbrella shape.
* Now glue your cupcake liner piece towards the top of a small white SQUARE piece of cardstock that is smaller than your card front.
* Go ahead and now glue that white piece to the front of your card.
* Next up -grab your brown cardstock and scissors.
* Go ahead and cut out an umbrella “handle” for your card. I best suggestion is to imagine a candy cane.
* To finish off the cupcake liner umbrella card – glue your handle paper piece under the cupcake liner shape on the card.
* Use the blue glitter glue and loose craft glitter to make “rain” all over the front of the card. A few dabs of glue and a sprinkle of glitter will do!
* Then add other embellishments you see fit. I did heart stickers on mine but feel free to change it up!
* When done, allow it all to dry completely before you give it away proudly!
