Even an crafty girl like myself can be surprised by what craftier types can do with everyday objects. Seeing basic supplies transformed into something unexpected always inspires me.

In this case, it’s all about cupcake liners, which have come a long way. The other day at the craft store I saw several rows of prints, colors, sizes, and shapes. If you combine all those varieties with these ingenious DIY projects, you’ll have a huge range of options to choose from! There’s even a St. Patrick’s Day liner craft in the mix…
