It's is my absolute favorite time of the year! Time to dust off your jingle bells, pour yourself some peppermint hot coco and make something for Christmas! I always loved making Christmas ornaments as a kid, and well, I still do! I love putting up the tree with my family and looking back at all of the ornaments I made as a kid. So many wonderful memories. I can't wait to make more of those memories with my kids someday! Every so often I like to switch up Christmas tree themes and this year I want a sweets tree decked out in candies and cupcakes! To start off the new theme I've created these cute little pink iced cupcakes. I think they turned out cute, what do you think? Want to make some of your own? Keep reading!
Cupcake Supplies:
1. Plastic ornaments (I used white)
2. Glitter!
3. Cupcake liners
4. Mod Podge
5. Hot glue
6. Red sparkle balls (Christmas section of Hobby Lobby)
Step 1
Remove the ornament hanger
Step 2
Hot glue your ornament into the cupcake liner, top side down
Step 3
Hot glue all around so that the liner is secure
Step 4
Create a Mod Podge/glitter mixture and paint onto your ornament
Step 5
Sprinkle on some dry glitter and tap off any excess
Step 6
Insert your ornament hanger into your "cherry" (Styrofoam works best)
Step 7
Allow your ornament to fully dry and then hot glue on your "cherry"
You're done!
These are really fun and easy to make! They would be a great craft for kids as well. Just remember, parents handle the hot glue, we don't want to burn the kiddos! Here are a few shots of my finished cupcakes, enjoy!

These are awesome! I started a sweet themed tree after seeing Cupcake Julie's on Bakerella (http://www.bakerella.com/candyland/)and it has been such a hit that I keep bringing it back. I never thought of making my own ornaments though...now I know how I'll be spending my future free time! Thanks for the great post.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! what a good idea. I loved your note about hot glue and kids. I decided once to test hot glue with my finger to see how hot it really was. It was hot.;)
ReplyDeleteSo stinking adorable. Thank you for linking up to More the Merrier Mondays.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS. It's so happening this christmas! I just bought a cupcake stand too so it is perfect timing
ReplyDeleteI was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
