Make This Mini Cupcake Flower Bouquet in Under 15 Minutes

Create a DIY cupcakes bouquet in under 15 minutes using mini cupcakes, a large coffee mug, and a few easy craft supplies!

Looking for a creative handmade gift to brighten someone’s day?

These mini cupcake bouquets are so adorable and easier than you’d think to make! I just used store-bought mini cupcakes, but you could certainly bake and decorate your own if desired using mini muffin pans.

This simple DIY project would make a great Valentine for someone special, but it could easily be customized to celebrate a number of different occasions! You can finish it with clear cellophane wrap and a ribbon so that it’s packaged nicely for delivery.

Helpful tips for making DIY mini cupcake flower bouquets:

I was able to buy all of these supplies at Walmart, including the mini cupcakes from their bakery! While in-store, I made sure that the styrofoam ball I bought fit super tight in the cup. This made the finished product sturdy and easy to transport in the car without any cupcakes falling off. Yay!

The coffee mugs I used are no longer available, but any seasonal mug or one of these Pioneer Woman mugs would make such a pretty alternative.

You could skip the coffee mug altogether and use a small flower pot or a decorative bowl instead. I think this project would turn out great either way!

If you have blank spaces in between cupcakes, use additional tissue paper to cover them!

DIY Mini Cupcake Flower Bouquets

Supplies Needed

Directions

Pick a coffee mug large enough for your styrofoam ball (or a half ball) to fit snugly inside so it won’t move around.

Place styrofoam ball on top of a couple of squares of green tissue paper and press down into the mug.

Press a toothpick down into the styrofoam ball on one side, but make sure it still points upward somewhat so the cupcake won’t slide off.

Press a cupcake on top of the toothpick. Be careful that the toothpick doesn’t poke all the way through.

Continue the process around the side and in the middle.

Add additional pieces of tissue paper around the sides, if desired. That’s it!

I LOVE how these adorable DIY cupcake bouquets turned out, and also how simple they were for me to assemble. Best of all, I was able to get everything I needed with just one trip to one store. Walmart for the win! 🙌

These would be so cute as a thoughtful gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or Teacher Appreciation. My daughter gave the ones we made to her teachers, and they were a big hit!

I love that they could also do triple duty when used as inexpensive centerpieces at small gatherings, like a shower or birthday party.
