Forget flowers to congratulate a performance well done, these are yummier! Making your own cupcake wrappers is a good way to individualize your cupcakes and save money. This wrapper is inspired by antique music paper. Below is the tutorial and template you need to create these wrappers, but you can use the template as an outline to creat your own with different paper.

Directions:
1. Make this template fit your specific cupcake. You can resize it in a word document or image editing program if you want to scale it up or down (no pun intended). To scale it, measure the base circumference of your cupcake liner and make it match the base line of the wrapper template. There are three different patterns to use (all from Bach, if you were curious).
2. Print the template out on ivory card stock paper. Cut it out. You can change the lip so it has a more gradual scalloped edge. Just cut according to taste.
3. Take a lighter and move the lighter close to the top edges but not close enough to light it on fire. You don't want the paper to burn away and it does that very easily (oh, and please do not burn yourself or set your house on fire in the process). Use quick and constant movement with the flame to prevent the paper from lighting.
4. Use double sided tape to attach the sides together around the decorated cupcake.
5. Make black gumpaste musical notes and small flowers or roses to top the cupcakes, if desired.

Those are great! Thank you for posting the template.
You are welcome!
These look great but I think for the "burn" edged effect I'd probably use a candle to prevent the lighter from over heating…. just a thought.
I’ll have to try that next time D.J
These are delightful!
I love how you bring "unique" to your projects.
These are perfect for Carter! Love it. What a great idea- with a template and everything! You're da bomb!
This is beautiful. I am sharing this on somedaycrafts.blogspot.com.
Thank you! I will let my readers know!
Thanks so much for sharing the template! Exactly what I needed for an event that I am baking for this weekend
OH MY GOSH!!!! You have transformed my cupcake-life! This is exactly the thing I never knew I needed. I can use your template not only for the musical cupcake theme I need for today, but it should be easy to replace the music with any other graphic/text for every cupcake need! YAY! Thanks SO much!
This is an AMAZING idea, I was wondering if this fits a regular sized cupcake? I have a end of the year band dinner tomorrow night and was hoping to use this.(:
Really, the best way to use this is to print the outline on a regular peice of paper and see how you need to play with the size to get it the way you want it. Not very scientific, but it works.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
