Instructions for making your cupcake liner daffodils
1. Create daffodil flower petals
Open up and flatted out your yellow cupcake liners. Using your scissors, cut six slits around the perimeter of each cupcake liner to create daffodil flower petals. Make sure to stop each of your cuts when they reach the inside circle of the cupcake liner.
2. Cut out a stem for each flower
Cut a stem out for each of your flowers from a green piece of cardstock paper.
3. Cut out two leaves for each flower
Make a fold in your green cardstock paper to cut out your flower leaves. Then cut out half of a leaf shape along the folded edge. Open up your paper to reveal your daffodil leaf. Cut out two leaves for each flower.
4. Glue flower petals onto a light blue cardstock paper
Add glue on the back circle of each yellow cupcake liner and glue them onto a light blue piece of cardstock paper, near the top one-third of the paper.
5. Glue flower stems and leaves
Glue your flower stems and leaves onto your flower.
When we glued on our leaves, we added a line of glue directly down the middle and glued them onto our flower without pressing down the sides of the leaves. This helps to leave a fun 3-D look with the leaves popping off the page slightly.
6. Glue mini cupcake liners into the center of flowers
Turn each of the mini yellow or orange cupcake liners inside out to use them for the center flower section. Add glue in the center of the yellow daffodil flowers and glue down the mini cupcake liners in the center of the flowers.
7. Add pom-poms
Use an extra strength glue stick or tacky glue to glue three small yellow pom-poms on the inside of each of your daffodil flowers.
