Cupcake Wrapper Dress Craft - Cute for a DIY card

 

Our house just cannot catch a break. This winter we traded one illness for another. With the spring finally here, we thought that our luck would change. Unfortunately, we were mistaken. Our daughter is sick again. She has a runny nose, a junky cough & laryngitis. Trying to keep an inquisitive 3 year old from talking is no easy feat.  We spent most of the night watching cartoons & eating popsicles, but then I roused my crafty daughter when I started playing with some cupcake wrappers. I had something in mind that I wanted to try with her for another day, but since I piqued her curiosity, we made them right away.

For the dress, we folded a wrapper in half & then another into quarters. We glued them down on construction paper & then glued a bowed ribbon to the middle of the two wrappers.

We drew in dress straps with markers & then drew designs on the dress.

Mai has become more independent in our crafts together & wanted to fold, glue & color her own dress.

She did let me put the bow on for her though,

While we were making the dresses, she picked one up & told me that it looked like a sea shell. She was right. It certainly did. We made one of those too.

She was having fun so much fun that she just kept going. She made a lion, so mommy did too.

Despite the lack of voice & sickness, we still had a good night.

  1. What a cute dress and sorry Mai is sick again. I had another cold myself last week and still cannot get rid of the cough myself. Seriously so sick of the illnesses around here, too. Fingers crossed Mai is better soon and that we get a reprieve on all ends sooner rather than later.
