In this post, I will show you how to make simple cupcake baubles that look pretty cool no matter how much you mess up *yay*
You will need:
Cheap baubles in a color you likeCupcake papers
Glue
Glitter or acrylic paint
How it's done:
Take your bauble, put a dot of glue directly at the bottom of it and press the cupcake paper onto the bauble. Mix some glue with lots of glitter and spread it on top of the bauble to make it look like icing is dripping down. If you aren't the kind who likes discovering bits of glitter all over their body and house for the next two months, you can simply use acrylic paint for the frosting. After really messing around with my glitter, spilling it everywhere, I'd probably recommend using acrylic paint '^^Anyway, let the frosting dry. If you want to, you can paint that silver top part of the bauble red to look like a cherry, but I decided to leave mine plain as I thought it might look weird with the red wrapper.
And that's it. Easy, right? Now go and make like twenty of those to have the most cupcake-y Christmas tree ever.
Another idea would be to skip the cupcake wrapper part and simply make a bauble with color dripping down. I think you could use nail polish to create this effect too, so if you happen to have a nail polish color that seriously doesn't suit your appearance at all, feel free to spill it over a bauble.
I hope you have a really nice day ^^
This is a wonderful tutorial, and the ornament which is pictured looks so much like a cupcake. The glitter on top is a nice effect as well and I like your recommendation in relation to using nail polish. Well done on creating this excellent guide.
