Materials: 3 plastic foam discs, a glue gun, a serrated knife, three 12x12 scrapbook pages, a paper cutter with scoring blade, silk flowers, wire cutters, tulle and other embellishments.
Directions: Stack the plastic foam discs, and adhere them with hot glue. Use a serrated knife to shave away some foam to shape the stack of discs into a cupcake shape. Use the paper cutter to trim your scrapbook paper to the height of the tower of discs. Then use the scoring blade to move across each page, scoring sheets in 1/2-inch increments. Fold the paper accordion-style along the score lines. Then glue the first page to the side of the foam tower. To start the next page, glue the edge of the paper over the last pleat of the first page you glued to the disc. Then wrap the second page around, securing it with hot glue. Finish the cupcake wrapper with the third piece, folding the edges on each side over a pleat. Clip floral stems short with wire cutters, and insert them into the foam, covering the top edge of the paper liner. Work inward from the perimeter, keeping stems longer toward the center to make a domed effect. Finish the arrangement with tulle, ribbons, or other embellishments.
