A few weeks ago, Abbie was tinkering around with some cupcake papers and made a flower. Knowing that a Valentine’s Day party is around the corner, I asked her this week if she thought she could take that flower idea and incorporate a chocolate kiss. She sat right down and got to work, and even added a way to include a message! Here’s what she came up with….<\/p>\n

Materials<\/h4>\n

1 yellow cupcake wrapper
\n1 pink cupcake wrapper
\n1 green cupcake wrapper
\none dark chocolate kiss
\nglue gun<\/p>\n

\"materials<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h4>\n

Glue the point of the kiss into the center of the yellow cupcake paper.<\/p>\n

\"put<\/a><\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

Glue around the edges of the kiss.<\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

Fold the yellow paper up around the kiss and stick it to the glue.<\/p>\n

\"wrap<\/a><\/p>\n

Find the center of the pink cupcake paper base (an easy way to do this is to fold the base in half both ways; the center of the plus sign that the folds create is the center of the base). Begin to crinkle the paper up like a flower, holding the center. Spread hot glue around the inside of the pink paper.<\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

Put the point of the yellow cupcake paper in the center of the pink cupcake paper. Wrap the pink cupcake paper around the yellow center, squeezing them together.<\/p>\n

\"yellow<\/a><\/p>\n

Find the center of the green paper base and crinkle the paper into a flower like you did for the pink paper, but this time make a stem all the way up to about 1\/2″ from the top. These are the sepals for your flower.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Open it back out and fill the stem with hot glue. Quickly squeeze the stem together to solidify.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a><\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

When the glue is dry, open the green ruffles to create sepals.<\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

Glue the pink flower into the center of the green sepals.<\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

\"als<\/a><\/p>\n

Fold another green cupcake paper in half and flatten it completely (not just the base).<\/p>\n

\"fold<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut the cupcake paper into the shape of two attached leaves.<\/p>\n

\"cut<\/a><\/p>\n

If you wish to write a note in the leaves you should do it now, before gluing. Just open the leaves and write on the white part inside.<\/p>\n

\"write<\/a><\/p>\n

Glue the leaves to the stem of the flower, so that when you fold them down, your message can be read.<\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

\"glue<\/a><\/p>\n

Then make more for all your friends!<\/p>\n
