Hello lovelies, today I am reposting a DIY from one of my favorite blogs in the whole world, 
100 Layer Cake

 a wedding blog that somehow never fails to show the most exquisite weddings, crafts, and everything else pretty and sweet. Visit the cakelets 
here to see for yourself! 

Cupcakes may be fading in popularity, replaced by their more dainty cousin, the Parisian Macaron, but that doesn't mean we should waste all the pretty liners we over-bought. Today I give you the recipe for Cupcake Liner Garland, the perfect mix of cupcake-cuteness and vintage fabrics/lace.  This might not be fashion, but it certainly is adorable~

Hi hi. Here’s the tutorial Jillian put together for the cupcake liner garland she did for Sunday Suppers. This project is super easy to make and adds such a pretty feeling to your celebration. Two 36″ strands require 4 – 5 packs of baking cups, depending on how loose or tight you want your garlands to be. project is super easy to make and adds such a pretty feeling to your celebration.
Step 1: Cut your fabric and tulle into rounds using a cupcake liner as a guide


Step 2: Lay out all of your liners and fabric rounds so you can arrange them in a stack in the order you like.

Step 3: Once you’ve got about 1/3 of your liners strung, space them out a bit so they’re as loose or tight as you want your garland to be. Then use your glue gun to attach some of the liners to the thread. This way you can control the spacing of your liners on the garland. You’ll need to let the glue dry before you continue, but luckily hot glue dries super fast. Then repeat the process until your garland is full.
Step 4: Finally, finish off each end of the garland with little bits of ribbon or lace.
