Here is the tutorial to make the Nail Polish Cupcakes. I decided to a Halloween theme to demonstrate the versatility of this project. Plus, it's an excellent non-candy treat for your favorite trick or treaters!
You will need one of these, Wilton Nut & Party Cups:
First, I cut three strips of 1 3/4 inches patterned paper. Then, using my handy dandy Scor-Pal, I scored every 1/4 inch of all three strips.
Glue all three strips together to make a circle.
Using a hot glue gun, carefully glue your circle around the cup. This will be the "cupcake" wrapper.
This next step is optional. I wanted to make my cupcake "taller", so I hot glued the top of a prescription bottle to the bottom of the nut cup. Then, I adhered, the bottle of nail polish with a small pop up dot to the prescription bottle top.
The frosting was made with some orange paper shred that I just bunched around the stem of the nail polish bottle.
To decorate my cupcake, I made a festive cupcake pick and accented with some tiny button spiders.
Supplies:
Stamp: Stampendous-Bugs & Hisses
Ink: Versafine
Paper: American Crafts, Bazill, Recollections
Misc: Hot glue gun, pop up dots, Wilton Nut & Party Cup, Nestabilities, Paper punches, tiny button spiders, prescription bottle cover, spider web die cut, paper shred, nail polish

ReplyDeleteThank you!! Thank you!! Thank you for your AWESOME tutorial!! I can use this project in so many ways!! I do have two quick questions for you (your patience is appreciated)!!
1. You noted that you cut your strips of paper 1-3/4" wide. How long were they?
2. After scoring and crimping, do you glue the three strips together to make a big enough circle OR do you glue them one on top of another to make your cupcake wrapper thicker?
Thank you for your help!! I am very excited about giving this project a try!

Hi Judy,
DeleteThe strips of paper are 6 inches long, I used paper from a 6 x 6 paper pad. So, if you are are using 8 x 8 or 12 x 12 paper, just cut your strips accordingly. Then, after you score/crimp, glue them together to make a big circle.
I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, just let me know.
great project! this will be on my daily inspiration. thanks for sharing
