14 Cupcake Liner Crafts
- Cheap supplies! Cupcake liners are one of the cheaper craft supplies I have bought and I was able to turn them into some pretty fun things!

The roses remind me of a wedding I went to when I was a child. There were roses made of Kleenex tissue. I thought they were the most beautiful creations known to mankind!
Seeing that brings the magic of that memory back!
