Sometimes you just need a craft in a hurry and want to use supplies you already have on hand. Most moms have a stack of cupcake liners always hanging out in the pantry (especially if you’re me, and found really cute Santa liners that you bought 4 years ago and always forget you have until January). They are great for whipping out some afternoon crafts, and won’t cost you much. Check out some easy and fun crafts to put your cupcake liners to use!

Doesn’t this craft make you long for summer days? When your kids have had enough real ice cream (aka they’re on a sugar high) then have them put their energy into making cupcake liner cones! They can use colored liners to symbolize their favorite flavor, and add glitter, sequins or gems as “toppings.” Super sweet craft- without all the sugar.
