I am so stinking excited to share this fun sweet craft with you today! No Bake Cupcakes is what I like to call them {giggle}. I saw these in a magazine recently and just knew that I had to share them with you. They are so easy and would be a fabulous activity for the kiddos too! Better yet, mommy can make the cupcakes and the kiddos can decorate them. Win-win!
Let’s grab a few supplies and get crafting! For this project I used bakers twine, styrofoam balls (mine were @3″), solid color cupcakes liners (store bought or cut outs), Fabri-Tac glue and embellishments (beads, toothpicks, washi tape, pins, brads, glitter, buttons, ribbon, etc).
First things first, we need to cut the styrofoam balls in half. I used the knife that I got along a few other foam tools from FloraCraft at SNAP!
Once you’ve cut the styrofoam ball in half, you’ll place a small dot of glue at your starting point and begin wrapping the baker’s twine around the styrofoam half circle. I glued a small starter piece onto the flat side too (that’s optional).
And you’ll just continue to spread some glue, wrap the bakers twine, spread some more glue and keep wrapping.
Before you know it, you’ll be done! I think it took about 15 minutes. It honestly depends on how particular you are. Unfortunately, I’m pretty particular {hee-hee}.
Make them in a variety of flavors colors and decorating them has so many fun possibilities! There you have a sweet craft, with no baking required! What do you think?

Thanks so much for visiting with me. Happy Crafting!
I’ll be partying {here and here}.
