crafts:: easy cupcake flag

when planning our cupcake party, i thought of this quick diy craft that would be fun to share. if your cake decorating skills are as "awesome" as ours - slap icing messily onto cupcake, i have this cute and simple tutorial. welcome little cupcake flags!!


 a whimsy touch to any cupcake!

what you need:: toothpicks, scissors & washi tape 

:: option number one ::


wrap a length around top of the toothpick (the non-pokey end)


snip a "V" and you're done! :) 


 make up a family in 5 mins!


optional :: use a thin marker and write cute messages!

:: option number two ::


even littler ribbons are adorable too!!


for this design, use the skinnier washi tapes.
they're usually solid colors... pick a few coordinating colors!


 double the tape over (sticky to sticky side). 


form a loop like above and insert the tail into the loop, 
wrapping around the top of the toothpick.


voila!!


enjoy your cupcakes!!
