As you know I celebrated my birthday last week and I wanted to add a personal touch to my party favors. I gave my guests YUMMY red velvet mini cupcakes from Cat's Cupcakery and dressed them up with inspiration party flags created from my new digital mixed media artist papers {which will launch in my digital shoppe next week} and Collage Pauge. This is a super fun tutorial and simple party decorating idea..great for any occasion.
SUPPLIES needed
- Collage Pauge Matte
- paint brush
- scissors
- DREAM BIG graffiti inspiration mixed media papers by treiC designs
- toothpicks
- foil
STEP ONE | print out INSPIRATION party flag mixed media papers using an inkjet printer
STEP TWO| cut printed papers into strips using a paper trimmer
STEP THREE | cut a triangle shape out of the edges of the flags with scissors. use the excess pieces in other papercraft projects like greeting cards, ATCs or project life.
STEP FOUR| brush Collage Pauge onto the back of the party flag cutout using a 1 inch flat brush. Place on a piece of foil to protect your workspace.
STEP FIVE| wrap glued flag around a toothpick. Collage Pauge dries quick, so work fast. IDEA: wrap the glued flags around skewers for longer flags.
STEP SIX| place all the glued flags into a small container to dry.
STEP SEVEN | Use the party flags as cupcake toppers. I placed the cupcakes inside plastic treat bags. To make sure they didn't fall over, I cut out rectangle shapes of my printable mixed media papers and taped them to the bag using Aleene's Tacky Tape Runner and added a Tacky Tape small dot to the bottom of the cupcake to attach it to the paper base.
INSPIRATION party flags are a colorful way to decorate your favors! with the holidays coming up, use this idea to decorate your holiday treats! Big hugs..xoxo~Traci
