Materials:

• 14 sheets white 8 ½ x 11 paper
• Glue gun
• 7 patterned cupcake liners
• 7 2½-inch paper circles
• 7 2-inch paper circles
• Hole punch
• Ribbon
   

Instructions:

1. Start by making the paper rosettes. Take one sheet of 8 ½ x 11 paper and fold your paper back and forth, making accordion folds.
   
   
   
   
    
2. Take folded paper and bend in half.
   
   
    
3. Repeat with another sheet of paper.
   
   
    
4. Glue together the inside edges of each piece.
   
   
    
5. You now have two pieces of paper that look like fans. Glue the outside edges of each fan together to make a circle. You now have one paper rosette. Put aside.
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
6. Take a cupcake liner and put upside down and flatten to make a flat circle.
   
   
    
7. To keep it laying flat, snip a small hole in the center and make a fold so that the cupcake liner doesn’t pucker up.
   
   
   
   
    
8. Glue a 2½-Inch paper circle onto the center of the flattened cupcake liner.
   
   
    
9. Glue a 2-Inch Paper circle on top of that.
   
   
    
10. Once the glue dries, take your “cupcake liner centerpiece” and glue it onto the paper rosette you put aside.
    
    
     
11. Punch a hole in the top center of the paper rosette where you will be stringing your ribbon through.
    
    
     
12. Repeat steps 1-11 until you have completed 7 paper rosettes with a Halloween-themed center.
     
13. Take your ribbon and string through the 7 paper rosettes.
