Mini Party Hat Cupcake Toppers DIY
Do you have a random stack of assorted cupcake liners in your cupboard? I find they’re sold like hamburger and hot dog buns – they never quite match up to how many hamburgers and hot dogs you’ve made. Here’s a cute and easy use for them – mini party hat cupcake toppers.
Click through for full instructions!
Materials needed: assorted cupcake liners, double-stick tape, glue, pom-poms.
Step 1: Flatten a cupcake liner in half. Then fold it in half again to find where the point should be.
Step 2: Gently twist the liner into a hat shape and secure it with a small piece of double-stick tape. Press firmly to seal.
Step 3: Add a dollop of glue to the tip of the hat and gently place a pom-pom on top. Let dry.
Step 4: Place the mini hats on your frosted cupcakes. Enjoy!
These are adaptable to any kind of party, depending on the colors or liners you have –a friend of mine did these in silver foil with a little gold star on top for her son’s wizard-themed party. And of course, they are the perfect size for toy animals and funny characters once the cupcakes have been eaten.

Love these! Thank you. They are perfect for a small person’s party.
Ha! The best is after the cupcakes have been eaten. One can take some exercise playing with the hats and little toys. The simple use of imagination should burn off a few calories, not to mention the laughter that should follow
What a cute idea! Love it! Makes the cupcakes look so adorable!

This is such a great idea and it’s so easy to make! I have to try it out! xx

I have recently begun blogging and am doing a different challenge or task each month. January is DIY month. I have done a few things already and plan on making my own pillows this week. Your ideas are great and I hope my blog will bloom into something like yours has. Great job!
