create mama: Washi Tape Cupcake Art

Tuesday, April 2, 2013 8 Comments

 

Washi Tape Cupcake Art #washitape #cupcake https://www.mamamiss.com ©2013


So, I’ve been holding onto this puppy for a long time!

I used to host Pinterest craft parties about once a month at my house, and, well, since I’ve started this blog last May, well, I’ve struggled with trying to find a balance with everything.  In the beginning, I just dropped everything, left & right, because it was too overwhelming I thought I was going to explode, and lots of tears were involved in trying to find out what was right for me.

I’m sure it’s not breaking news to tell you this, but I am a type A, over-achiever – hence my tagline “my miss guided attempts at being a supermama”.  Why the misguided?  Well, although I would like to be organized and together, I AM NOT.  I’m ALWAYS late, so much so, that I’ve told people in the past that, if you could count on me for something, that it would be that I’m always late!  If I’m on time, or dare I say it, early to something, I feel like I’ve accomplished the impossible & I will have an accomplishment high the entire day – HA!  And you better believe there will be a FB status about how I’m being so productive too!!

Well, I feel like I’m finally starting to get on track here, I’m getting organized!!!!!  Wahoo!  Just this morning, I was on the phone embarking upon appointments for everything – T’s impeding haircut, V’s gymnastics classes I’ve been promising to sign her up for since November, a dentist appointment for me, a hair appointment for me, and several others.  Whew, done & done – feels good!





So, I did this forever & a day ago at one of my Pinterest craft parties last year, and I keep forgetting to post about its cuteness and easiness!  I was inspired by my pin, which I can’t find ANYWHERE – it’s buried somewhere in my 8,871 pins.  So here’s the original source, because this one was hard to track down – the pin that is out there is from someone featuring her & it connects to her old link – so I had to translate her site & then search back in her archives based upon the date that was attached to the original link – and voilà – I found it!!!  Here’s my original inspiration.

And here’s how I made mine…

  • assorted buttons in your color scheme
  • washi tape that coordinates with your buttons
  • 5×7 frame with glass
  • 5×7 white or colored paper
  • hot glue gun & several glue sticks

♥ quick tip – can’t find the button colors you want?  Cover them with washi tape!

I was also not finding all the colors I wanted for the buttons…so I found some flat ones & covered them with washi tape too!!! It’s a washi tape explosion!!!

  1. warm up your glue gun
  2. start by laying out your design loosely on the frame to decide on placement
  3. take a picture with your phone if this is how you want it to look, so that you can recreate it
  4. using your 5×7 paper, apply the base of the cupcake with your washi tape using vertical strips of tape (you can overlap too to vary the hues)
  5. insert paper into frame UNDER the glass
  6. using your hot glue gun, start gluing on your buttons in the design/order of your original loose placement (or you could get all crazy up in here and just sing & place as you go!)
  7. make sure you glue directly onto the glass, layering the buttons on top of each other, beside each other, under each other – whatever you fancy – creating the top of the cupcake.
  8. let dry & hang your masterpiece!!

This would be a great decoration for a cupcake or sweets party too!!

    Just stumbled upon your and your creativity! What a blessing!! From just reading over your “About Me”, I think you and I would get along well. Haha! (Especially in our area of being ‘gifted’ with sarcasm….but, hey, when you’ve got it, you’ve it! Don’t blame us, huh???). Wishing you and your sweet family the very best. Thank you for taking the time to sit down and share your ideas. Blessings from Texas!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
