Celebrating Craft Month with a Cupcake liner Tutu Ballerina tutorial.

It's Craft Month and I would like to celebrated it with a Spring inspired tutorial. Have tons of cupcake liners at the studio in many colours and sizes. Also have a nice selection of plastic ballerinas I have collected over the years. 

Signs of Spring are everywhere...think about garden parties...table decorations...cupcakes everywhere...How about a cute ballerina topper to decorate them? Isn't this ballerina adorable? Make your own!

MATERIALS:

Plastic ballerinas {this one is about 2 inches tall}

Metallic trim

Cupcake liners

Millinery flowers

Glue gun

Glue sticks

Paper scissors

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ballerinas come in many colours. Choose your favorite one.

Choose your favorite cupcake liner colour from your stash.

Plug your glue gun and warm it up.

Using your paper scissors cut it open on the side only where pleats are.

TIP: Some cupcake liners are soft and others sturdy. If sturdy you can glue it directly. If it's soft you would pleat it a little to add movement to it and then glue it to the ballerina's waist. 

1. Cut a cupcake liner open.
2. Cut out the center.
3. Add a few drops of glue on the waist of your ballerina's tutu.
4. Place the end of your cut cupcake liner and glue to it.
5. Press softly with your fingers to make sure it is set in place.
6. Attach the cupcake liner  all around the ballerina's waist and wrap around the cupcake liner.
7. Choose your favorite millinery flower from your stash. Use as many as you like.
8. Using your paper scissors cut the stem off.
9. Using the glue gun add a small dot of glue and start attaching trim around the waist of your ballerina's cupcake liner tutu.
10. Repeat step 9 and attach a millinery flower to it.
