My favorite thing about spring is the return of flowers!  I’ve had flowers on my mind a lot lately, so when I saw this cupcake liner flower project from Lia Griffith I was immediately smitten.  Mounted on washi-covered pencils, a bouquet of these lovelies would make a great gift.  If you want to use these as a teacher appreciation gift, the tutorial also includes a tag you can attach; it’s even personalizable so you can add the names of teacher and student!  [how to make cupcake liner and pencil flowers]

Project estimate:
