DIY Mini Cupcake Flower Bouquets

Looking for a creative way to brighten someone’s day?

Create these bouquets of mini cupcakes in under 15 minutes using a large rimmed coffee cup and a few easy craft supplies! I just used store bought mini cupcakes, but you could also definitely bake and decorate your own if desired.

DIY Mini Cupcake Flower Bouquets

Supplies Needed for One Bouquet:

• Large Coffee Cup – I used these
• 4 inch Styrofoam Ball (Large enough to fit snug inside cup)
• Strong Toothpicks
• Green Tissue Paper
• 7 Mini Cupcakes (make your own or by store-bought)

• Directions:

• Pick a coffee cup large enough for a 4 inch Styrofoam ball or half ball to fit snug and inside and won’t move around.
• Place Styrofoam ball on top of a couple squares of green tissue paper and press down into cup.
• Press a toothpick down into the Styrofoam ball on one side, but make sure it still points upward somewhat so the cupcake won’t slide off.
• Press a cupcake on top of the toothpick.
• Continue process around the side and in the middle.
• Add additional pieces of tissue paper around the sides, if desired.

Notes:  I happened to buy all these supplies in-store at Walmart, including the cupcakes, and made sure the Styrofoam half ball I bought fit super tight in the cup when I was picking one to use. I think this same idea could work inside a decorative bowl, or small flower pot too!

How cute would these be as a thoughtful gift for Teacher Appreciation, a Birthday, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or as creative centerpieces at showers or parties? I LOVE how ADORABLE these cupcake flower bouquets turned out and also how quick they were to compile!
