When I got married, I made myself a crepe paper flower bouquet. I'm so happy that almost 11 years later I still have it—and it looks quite fresh! This paper bouquet, made from cupcake liners and flower stickers, is fast, easy, and so pretty. It is one of the ideas in our new party crafting booklets, which you can find at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. Check the gallery for how-to shots and instructions below.

Ferns How-To:
You’ll need 1 piece of wire and 1 sticker per fern.

2. Apply glitter to back of sticker. Bend to create an organic shape. Cover the stem of the wire with floral tape.

Sticker Flowers How-To:
1. Use pliers to twist wire into a spiral. Bend spiral 90 degrees to make a platform.
2. Hot-glue flower stickers onto the platform.

Cupcake Wrapper Flowers How-To:
1. Repeat spiral wire technique (1 per flower).
2. Use the screw punch to punch a hole in the center of 3 mini and 2 large cupcake liners. (Add more for a more voluminous flower).
3. Insert the spiral end of the wire through the 3 mini liners, and adhere with hot glue. Pinch the bottom of the liner to secure and create a natural flower shape. Let dry.
4. Add the 2 large liners under the minis and repeat. Secure the pinched end with floral tape and continue wrapping to the bottom of the wire.
