Hybrid Easter Fun

Hi! I have been playing with Suzy’s cupcake wrappers, and just had to show you a couple of things I made with them.

Now, I know the temptation when using such simple-to-use, uncomplicated templates like these is to pop on a patterned piece of paper from your favourite kit & go, but it really, really is just as easy to choose an element you love & use it as a repeat pattern on the template too! I chose the sweet ‘n colourful doodly blooms from Bunny Imposters (which is on sale!):

As you can see I made some optional cupcake toppers to go with the wrappers, by printing a single bloom onto thin card, cutting it out & attaching half a cocktail stick/toothpick to the back with sticky tape — for a totally coordinated look!

Included in Suzy’s cupcake wrapper set are mini cupcake wrappers — and I have a really fun suggestion of how to use them for breakfast on the Easter weekend:

Who said breakfast has to be dull & sensible?

To start with, I layered multiple copies of the grass image from Bug Collectin’ onto the mini cupcake wrapper template. After printing out, I snipped a grassy sort of edging to the wrapper with scissors — you could try using scissors with a decorative edge too. Next I printed & cut out the pairs of bunny ears from the Bunny Imposters kit.

Finally I boiled some eggs, & dressed them up as you can see, using simple sticky tape to adhere the wrapper ends together, and a little low tack adhesive to stick the ears in place. A couple of simple dots for eyes using a black pen, and there you are!

…can you imagine how delighted your family will be?

If the bunny ears don’t appeal to you, try a paper crown, a pirate hat or anything silly to simply bring a smile to someone’s face over the breakfast table — any time of the year!
