Cupcake Holder

Last Christmas I bought a set of cupcake holders on clearance at The Container Store (love that store btw!) with the intention to recreate them on my own. I finally did that about a week and a half ago. It was actually pretty easy, and while my scoring wasn't quite perfect, with a few adjustments to my design on my Gypsy it still worked out. I will have to come back and post the measurements, but the box is a piece of 12"x24" paper and the holder on the inside is about 7"x7". Super simple, I know I will be coming back to do more of these!


The flower on the top is actually the insides of the cupcake holder with some circles that I punches to add contrast.


I was surprised at how well the cardstock/heavy paper held up when put together (I adhered it using my pink ATG gun - love that thing!).


I was a little worried that it actually wouldn't hold cupcakes (well 2 unfrosted cupcakes and 2 muffins for some variety), however I think the holder will actually keep them from shifting around. I love paper crafting and coming up with awesome things for way cheaper than the store sells them!
