Hi ladies! We are having a cupcake tier instead of a traditional wedding cake. I loved the filigree wrapper but they are out of our budget. So I created them myself! So easy! I used a template for the size and shape and designed them to match our invites. I printed them on cardstock and I cut the edges using a scalloped scissor. I even glued a rhinestone to it. So what do you think!
Thats awesome!! Thanks for including the template!! Though I'm not doing cupcakes it's be fun to make my own for other occasions!!
wow those are amazing...if you hadn't said you made them i would've been asking where you bought them. beautiful.
very cute-- do you mind me asking.. how time consuming was it??
These are lovely! Thanks for sharing, might have to use this idea one day =)
Wow! Those look amazing! I can't believe they are DIY! We are also planning cupcakes, and when I saw the price of those fancy cupcake cups I needed to be picked up off the floor! I hope you don't mind me using your idea! What kind of cardstock did you use? Did you just attach the paper to the out side of the regular cup paper after baking them? And how did you get that cute pattern on there?
Those are fantastic... and I love the little seahorse! You did a great job! This is a project for the DIY section of the site for sure. You should post it there, too! :o)
Hi! Thanks! I'm pretty impressed with them too! I used 65lb cardstock (lots left over from my DIY pocketfold invites) I printed them using my inkjet printer. The design was created in Adobe Illustrator, I matched my invites, which I designed too! The possibilities are endless! You can put your logo, cute words, poems, anything! I used Scotch 3M wrinkle free glue stick for the back (just overlap your ends by a 1/4 in or so. I also used the same glue to apply the rhinestone. Yay! Glad you like them. I hope another bride can use this idea for an inexpensive, but surely more adorable and personalized cupcake!
By the way, I wanted to add that you don't bake the cupcake with the wrapper. After they are baked you just slide them into the wrapper (the wrappers are glued ahead of time). :) Yes it's a little time consuming, but fun! Have your girlfriends help you out! Have a cupcake party!! it also depends on how many you will be making, I just needed 100.
Those are adorable! The scalloped edge really makes them look professional.
I have a question - might be silly - are you making your cupcakes or getting them catered. My DoC told me the cupcake people might not 'like it' if I made wrappers for the cupcakes.
I love these wrappers! Now I want to make some. I wonder how difficult it would be to make the lacy kind that's so expensive.
Awesome! I'm totally stealing this for my wedding! Our cake shoppe wanted an extra $2/cupcake for fancy wrappers. On cupcakes that only cost $2.50 each to start with, I have to go with no. I hope if I make themself they won't mind slapping them on!
I'm hiring a baker in Princeton and I told her that I had designed my own wrappers. She was actually really excited to see them. No it shouldn't be a problem if you tell your bakery up front.
Oh my god. So excited now. I'm emailing the bakery today to make sure :) I just got a Cuttlebug (to go with my Cricut since I'm Provocraft obsessed and I think I now own everything they make) so I'm going to go bananas on these suckers! Thank goodness FI is working today and I have the house to myself for wedding projects!
Auuuugh! Those are SO cute it's killing me! Love love love them!
Hi! Thanks! For those of you that like the filigree cupcake wrapper, I'm sure you could buy one of those craft paper punches and just cut out a cute pattern onto your wrapper before you glue the edges together. You can trim the edges with a pretty design. Don't know how easy it would be since the wrappers are curved, but it's worth a try!
Wow - cute! If I'd have cupcakes I would definitely use that template!
I love cupcake wrappers! Thanks for sharing the template.
@aida I wonder if they make curved cutters. That would be perfect.
Thanks for sharing the template, love this idea! I was looking to purchase them online, but this seems to fit more in our budget :)
Thanks for sharing these are great!!
@sahsabahs- is your cupcake person going to be there? LOL they might not like it? Then they should do the wrappers themselves. I vote do the wrappers if you want them!
These are SO cute! Love it!
How many wrappers could you fit on your cardstock? Did you buy 8 1/2 by 11 or 12 by 12?
Thanks for posting this!
I fit 3 up on an 8.5x11 sheet of 110lb. cardstock. Since I printed my design I couldn't fit anything larger than that in my inkjet printer...but I suppose if you just want to cut them out of cardstock 12x12 is fine too, you can probably fit 4 across the top and one horizontal on the bottom edge, so you end up needing less paper. Good Luck!
Omgosh, that is super inspiring. Thank you for sharing your awesome project!
I won't be having cupcakes at my wedding but think this is such a great idea! I'd love to do it for a birthday party or maybe at Christmas time :)
thanks for sharing and again, what a great and simple (LOVE that) idea!
You are too clever! These are simply beautiful, and I'm so glad you were willing to share them.
