    Step 1

    Between each foil cup was a thin white paper one, and when I took them apart, I loved the combination of matte white with shiny metal.
    I found a new way to make a fun muffin cup flower that can decorate pretty much anything you’d like.
    Make mini ones to glue onto cards or notebooks, or combine a few flowers with ribbon to make a floral hanging ball!

    Step 2

    First, separate the cups and folded them in half to make a semi circle. Take each semi circle and roll it into a cone shape and secured with a small piece of tape.
    *Make seven cones of each colour.

    Once all the cones are completed, secure one white one into a silver one.
    I used a loop of tape, but any adhesive will do.

    Once that’s done, you have seven mini flowers. If you would like to stop at this step, cover the out layer with a muffin cup and add a stem (pencil, wire, twig, anything) -and you can have a stemmed bouquet.
