We've been very excited to share this DIY post with you all. Would
you believe that this is made using cupcake cases! The outcome is pretty
splendid, the perfect vintage look.
Everything you need to make this beautiful table decoration is cheap and easy to find!
So let's get started!
What you will need:
Cupcake cases. Any colour is fine!
Candlestick holders. We got ours at a car boot sale, an absolute bargain!
Pearl headed pins. You can find these in most craft shops or online (We got ours from good ol' Ebay.)
Polystyrene ball. Also available in most craft shops! You can use any size you want, we used a 10cm ball.
Glue gun.
To
start off, take your first cupcake case and poke a pin through the
centre. Gather the case together as we have done in the picture below.
Take
your glue gun and glue the bottom of the cupcake case, just under where
the pin pokes out. Stick the pin into the polystyrene ball (careful not
to glue your fingers in there with it!).
There
is no set pattern to do this, you can start where ever you like. Just
leave a couple of centimetres in between each pin and make sure you
space them out. Any large gaps can be filled in later if need be! Don't
forget to leave a gap at the bottom so you can attach it to the candle
stick once you have finished. The decoration can be attached to the
candlestick using your glue gun!
And
there you have it! A simple, yet beautiful table decoration that can be
used for any occasion such as weddings, vintage tea parties or just
around your home.
