Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 sheets Tissue paper (I used five sheets in five different colors)
  • 1 pair Scissors
  • 1 pair Martha Stewart fringe scissors (or regular scissors will work too)
  • 1 Glue gun
  • multiple Sucker sticks (or toothpicks)

Instructions

  • Stack the tissue paper all in a nice neat pile, and cut a rectangle out that measures about 3.5" high and as long as you can make it. Fold the rectangle in half horizontally.
  • Place the folded side up. Using the fringe scissors, cut starting from the side opposite the folded edge, up to about an inch away from the fold. Use your scissors to cut that little section of fringed tissue paper off.
  • Apply a thin line of hot glue to the folded end of the tissue paper. Place sucker stick or toothpick carefully onto the hot glue, and press down while twirling the stick in your fingers, so that the tissue paper is wrapped all the way around the stick.  Be careful, the glue is hot.
  • Twirl the stick from the bottom to fluff out the tissue paper fringes, and admire your cute little cupcake toppers!
