I love creating things from unexpected items. If you have a
costume party this Halloween you’ll want to award some prize ribbons for the
best, the scariest, or the funniest costume. These ribbons are quick, easy and use a minimal amount of
supplies. I’ve used Halloween printed cupcake liners for the rosette. (I did
say cupcake liners--yes you read it right) And after you’ve finished the ribbons why not bake some
cupcakes with the extra liners for the party?
You will need:
Halloween printed cupcake liners
Black cardstock (or any color to coordinate with your cupcake liners)
7/8” Halloween printed ribbon in a complimentary color
Tacky craft glue
Scissors
Compass with pencil
Pin back
Glow in the dark paint writer (available at craft stores)
1.
Flatten out the cupcake liner with the palm of
your hand. Cut a slit just up to
the bottom center edge, cut three more slits at intervals around for a total of
four slits. This will allow the
cupcake liner to splay and some of the black cardstock will peek through.
2.
Use the compass to cut a 2 ¼” diameter circle
from the black cardstock. Cut two
5” pieces of printed ribbon and glue to the cardstock. Add some more tacky glue on the back of
the cupcake liner and attach it over the cardstock and ribbon.
3.
Cut a 1-inch diameter circle from the black
cardstock spread some tacky glue in the center of the rosette and attach. Let all the glue dry.
4.
Use the glow in the dark paint writer to print
the prize awards. e.g. best, scariest, funniest, etc. in the center black
cardstock of the rosettes. Let
dry. Spread a dab of glue on the
back of the ribbon and affix a pin back.
To further coordinate your party you can make a banner with
some cupcake liners. Simply attach
several cardstock circles together with 4-inch pieces of ribbon to the length
you need and then glue flattened cupcake liners on top. Loop the ribbon at both ends before you glue so you will be able to hang it.
