DIY “Be Mine” Topiary
I’m so excited to share this project with you today! I’ve admired cupcake liner projects all over blog land, so I decided to create my own for Valentine’s Day! You might have seen the “Be Mine” topiary in my Valentine’s Day Vignette that I already posted.
Anyone can make this topiary. It was so fun and quite inexpensive to make!
DIY “Be Mine” Topiary
Supplies Needed:
- Container or pail
- Stick or dowel
- 2 Styrofoam balls
- Batting or newspaper to stuff around the base to secure it
- Cupcake liners
- Glue gun & glue sticks
- Vinyl decal {I made mine with my Silhouette}
- Burlap to finish off the base
Begin by folding and hot gluing individual cupcake liners to one styrofoam ball until the entire ball is covered. I used 75-80 liners.
For the base, I hot glued the other styrofoam ball into my 0.25 thrift store pail. Then I stuffed batting around it to further stabilize the ball.
Being my fancy shamancy self {not!} I used a stick from my yard and pushed and glued it into the base. You can’t beat free! 🙂
Then I attached the cupcake liner covered ball to the other end of the stick and secured it with glue.
I added the “Be Mine” vinyl embellishment that I created using my amazing Silhouette machine!
{a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e!}
Now we’re all ready for a fun, lovin’ Valentine’s Day!
Have you ever made anything {besides cupcakes} with cupcake liners?

Very cute and creative. I think my hubby would be disappointed if i used my muffin liners NOT in my muffin tins, since he’s the one who gets to clean it! BUT if i get extras, I would love to try this!
I love that so much! So cute! Love that you used the stick!! lol =)
Very cute Myra. Love it. I have been wanting to try something myself with cupcake liners. Hmmmm…. what should I do? Thanks for inspiring me.
Love ya
