Cupcake Liner DIY Crafts {they're a piece of cake!}

Hi there! I’m Sarah from the wedding blog A Paper Proposal | Inspired Weddings, and I’m happy to be a guest today on one of my very favorite wedding blogs – The Bona Fide Bride (duh)! If you’ve visited me over at A Paper Proposal before, then you probably know that I have a particular fascination with paper. Even if you think I’m crazy, you have to admit – it seems as though there isn’t anything that you can’t do with it! As brides continue to incorporate paper into their wedding and event decor in more unconventional ways (beyond the standard invitation, of course), the more imagination we lend to otherwise basic items like lined paper notebooks, polaroid photos, ribbons and one of my personal favorites, cupcake liners. Those little paper cups really are a wonder, aren’t they?!

If you’ve been around the wedding block once or twice, then I’m sure you’ve seen cupcake liners used as décor before. Admittedly, it’s not a super new concept, but I’ve been seeing some great do-it-yourself ideas lately that I thought I’d share with you guys today. If you’re interested in trying any of the projects out for yourself, I found lots of cute cupcake liners at Shop Sweet Lulu, Hey Yoyo, Emerald + Ella and The Birthday House.
