The Cupcake Skirt

I am seeing tons of creative uses for Cupcake Liners these days. They come in such fun party colors and prints - just perfect for accessorizing any dessert table. My daughter is taking an AP Art class in high school focusing on fashion. Her class is pushing her to use alternative solutions for creating fabulous fashion. For her latest project she created this Cupcake Skirt of flowers made from the liners. There is a layer of sparkly tulle under the skirt. It is the ultimate party skirt!



Here a few other "off label" Cupcake Liner party ideas!
Lovely lights from IKEA Hackers.

    OK, your daughter is sheer genius, but of course she is a chip off your party block! You've gotta share with Cupcakes Take The Cake, they are always showcasing cupcake creativity!

    My daughter would love the skirt. She is a college student and every year they have a party where they have to dress in anything but normal clothing. Last year she spent hours making a dress completely covered in buttons. I am going to send her a link to your post she will get a kick out of it.
    Thanks for your post:-)

    Thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments. My daughter won a Scholastic Gold Key award for the skirt. This is at the regional level. The Gold Key award winners are sent to NY to be considered for national recognition!
