Some Last Notes:

If you don’t have a printer to take advantage of our free file, no worries! You can always hand-draw a cupcake liner shape on some paper and use scrapbook letter stickers for the lettering instead!
BTW – if you don’t want to do a paper handprint for the cupcake frosting, you can also make a PAINTED one instead! Just paint the palm of your child’s hand with a washable paint and then press it down in the center, right above the liner. The choice is yours on this cute DIY.
