"I was getting lost in the blog-o-sphere when I came across the cutest tutorial! Since I heavily contemplated cupcakes for my wedding favors (I'm doing cookies instead), I thought I might share this cute idea. I found it over at my new favorite blog ISLY. That's where all the below photos are from - these are totally not my DIY photos!
You can download the template and how-to here, or just read below.
You'll need:- 12x12 stiff scrapbook paper (the thicker, the better)
- Pencil
- Scoring tool
- Scissors
- Straight edge
- Double-sided sticky tape
- Print out the template paper on regular printer paper.
- Carefully cut out the shape and tape the straight sides together.
- Trace the outline onto the scrapbook paper.
- Score along the dotted lines with a bone folder or scoring tool.
- Glue or tape tabs.
- Fold top petals counter-clockwise and tuck the last tab under the first tab.
This may seem like a lot of work, but if you can buy scrapbook paper that coordinates with your wedding colors with Michael's or JoAnn's coupons, you can make these for pretty cheap. The cheapest cupcake boxes I found were about $.89 a piece, but they were super generic (read: fugly). If I had decided to go the cupcake route, I'd be all over this like white on rice. Heck, I think I might buy up some Christmas scrapbook paper and make some yummy treats for the holidays!"

Ashley,
Oh my goodness, thanks for the feature! Making your own cupcake boxes are far better than going & buying the generic ones for sure.
I couldn't find your email on your blog, I hope you don't mind I'm writing this in the comments.
Would you mind just linking to my tutorial page (not the download) & use 1-2 of my photos and remove the instructions? I hate to be super picky or annoying, but I work really hard to create my unique content & prefer it not to be reiterated elsewhere.
Again, thanks so much for the feature & I'm so happy that you like my site! Hope you use the cupcake template in the future! and CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding! Marriage is the best.
Cheers,
Melissa
