Be Happy!

 

Hi There!  It's Carolyn with a fun and EASY treat holder to share.  I found this paper machie cupcake at my local craft store.  From there, I painted the top of the cupcake with some white acrylic paint and the bottom with a brown.

I covered the top of the cupcake with Helmar 450 Quick Dry glue.  Starting with the bottom rim...I worked a few rows at a time with the glue so it wouldn't dry up.  Then I wound the twine around the lid.  Here are the colors I used in order of Twin-ification!  (Twin-ification = the act of embellishing an item with twine.):

And after adding the twine, I glued some buttons on top....


and finished it with a Maraschino bow on the little flag 
(made from a sticker and a toothpick)!

  
And here is the cupcake filled with treats:


There you go! Everything looks better covered in twine:)

Have a wonderful day. 
Thanks for stopping by The Twinery blog!

  2. OMG, such a cute cupcake. I'll have to try something similar with my Twinery twine. I know I don't use my twine enough for projects. I use mostly to tie on my cards.
