Cupcake Liner Ornaments Homemade Christmas Wrapping Paper

Looking through one of our kitchen drawers this week I found these adorable cupcake liners. I showed them to my husband who scoffed, “They’re terrible for baking!” (He’s all about the reusable silicone cupcake liners he got as a birthday gift from a certain thoughtful wife!)

Well, these striped paper cupcake liners were just too cute to toss, and I pretty quickly came up with the idea to use them to decorate Christmas wrapping paper. Carrying on with the recycling theme, I rounded up some paper shopping bags that would serve well as the actual gift wrap.

Press individual cupcake liners flat and coat the bottom with glue. (Glue sticks would probably be easiest, but strangely I couldn’t find any at the time, so I used craft glue and that was fine too.) Attach to paper and allow to dry.
