1) Hot glue the Styrofoam ball
inside the muffin paper being sure to glue both
the bottom and the sides of the paper to the
Styrofoam ball.
2) Using the popsicle stick or
plastic knife, spread a layer of 'Snow
Accents' or 'True Snow' on the
portion of the Styrofoam ball that is above the
muffin paper. Be careful not to get any of
the snow/frosting on the muffin paper.
3) While the snow is still wet,
insert a screw eye hook into the top of the
cupcake. Optional: While the "frosting" is
still wet, sprinkle some ultrafine glitter on it
or place some small beads into the "frosting".
Use a toothpick or your fingernail to push the
beads into the snow/frosting part of the way.
4) Let the snow/frosting dry
completely before continuing.
5) Apply 1 -2 coats of interior
varnish (the type that is sold with the acrylic
paints in your local craft store) to the muffin
paper letting dry completely between coats.
6) Attach a piece of string or an
ornament hook to the eye hook and your cupcake
is ready to be hung on the tree.
Optional:
-
Using fabric paint in a
squeeze bottle, make little dots or dashes
in various colors on the top of the cupcake
to represent sprinkles.
-
To add some color to your
frosting, simply dry brush some acrylic
paint onto the frosting once it is
completely dry. Check out our
hints and tips section for instructions
on the dry brush technique.
