Make It Monday - Cupcake Ornaments

Did you ever see those adorable ornaments that you absolutely love?  Then you look at the price tag...and you are horrified?  I love all those cupcake ornaments that are so cute but range anywhere from $10-$15 each.  So I decided to go to Michael's and get myself some supplies to re-create it for way cheaper.  Here is what you need:

-Any color ornaments you want your "cupcake" to be

- Paint in the color frosting you want.  

(I did some with chocolate, strawberry and some vanilla.)

- Glitter for sprinkles

- Cupcake foil liners

- Something for a cherry on top

- Paint Brush

- Hot glue

- Ribbon (optional)

Step 1:  Paint the "frosting" onto the ornament.  You don't want this to be perfect.  You want it to look like frosting dripping.

Step 2:  Sprinkle glitter on top of paint while it is still wet.  Let dry.

Step 3:  Add some hot glue to the bottom of a cupcake liner.  Position ornament on a tilt in the liner.  Be careful as the foil liner will be very hot.

Step 4:  Glue "cherry" on top.  Add some ribbon to hang from the tree.

All In All:  This is such an easy and fun ornament to make.  My son had a blast making them.  Best part is that I re-created them for less than $2.00 each!  If you wanted to, you can even purchase ornaments at the dollar store and save even more money.  Happy cupcake ornament making!
