Cupcake Topper

Is anyone else CRAVING spring??

Colorado has been teasing us with Spring weather. Yesterday was 70 degrees...today's forecast SNOW :(

WIND and SNOW.

My least favorite combination.

Wanna know one of my FAVORITE combinations??

Cupcakes and CUTE {ippity} stamps.

Well...really cupcakes and ANYTHING...but today...cute stamps!

I'm planning on having my family over again this year for Easter and really want to cutesy it up. I've had this idea for cupcake toppers in my head and decided to get started. Yeah I know Easter is a month away but if I don't start now they will NEVER get done.

I have to admit I've never made these accodian flowers before but they were super easy.

A few tips:

**The tutorial I followed told you to score the paper every 1/4 inch. AFTER doing this tedious task where I ended up cutting the paper I ended up folding it...back and forth without score lines...Kindergarten style :)

**USE HOT GLUE...just saying. Don't hold things together and wait for the glue to dry...and then stubbornly try three more times. This 10 minute project will easily turn into a 45 minute project...don't ask me how I know this :)

**If you don't have a stick on hand to make these...get creative. I used a pipe cleaner.

**Paper piece the chick {or bunny} from the {ippity} set

{Sweet Thoughts of Spring}

for faster results.

Here is a closeup of the cute little topper:

I can't wait to see tons of these all lined up ready for kiddo hands.

Thanks for stopping by...have a great weekend!
