DIY Mother’s Day Card with a Tulip Made from Cupcake Liners (Easy Tutorial)

This post is all about a DIY Mother’s Day card featuring a tulip that you can easily make with cupcake liners.

Usually, when I look for Mother’s Day Card Ideas Diy, I choose something that matches the theme but is tissue paper art.

I used to make different flowers, including tulips, from tissue paper.

However, I think folding delicate paper can be difficult, especially when you’re looking for Mother’s Day gifts from kids.

In this article, I will show you how to do a Mother’s Day craft that is easy, fun, and suitable for children.

These Mother’s Day cards homemade are made from colorful cupcake liners you can find at home.

All you need are simple supplies and a bit of imagination when you fold everything into shapes.

I hope you are now curious about how to make a DIY Mother’s Day Card with a beautiful tulip.

Let’s get started!

1. Rainbow Standard Cupcake Liners
2. White Blank Cards and Envelopes 5 x 7 Heavyweight
3. All-purpose Glue
4. Scissors

DIY Mother’s Day Card With Tulip Easy Tutorial

To make things easier, I divide this tutorial into 3 easy steps.

Firstly, we will focus on creating 3 parts to make petals.

Next, we will be folding the stem and leaves.

At the end, we will put everything together and stick the folded pieces of cupcake liners to the greeting card.

1. Make 3 Petals For The Flower

Prepare 3 cupcake liners in a chosen color.

To make the middle part of a tulip:

1. Flatten your cupcake liner
2. Fold it in half
3. Apply glue on one half and fold
4. Apply glue again on half and fold again

Next, to make the left and right petals of a tulip, you need to:

1. Similar to the middle part, flatten this time 2 cupcake liners
2. Fold each one in half
3. Fold them again so you have 2 triangles
4. Fold a little part of the liner, as you can see in pictures 5 and 6.
5. Apply a small amount of glue and stick it together.

Make a Tulip’s Stem and 2 Leaves

Prepare 3 green cupcake liners.

To make a stem, you will need to:

1. Flatter your cupcake liner
2. Fold it in half
3. Then, fold the round part toward the middle
4. Repeat 3 times
5. Before folding 3rd time, apply glue to stick it together

For the leaves, we need 2, but one is round on the left and the other on the right.

To make the first tulip, you will need to:

1. Flatten a green cupcake
2. Fold it in half
3. Fold a small part that is thinner on the left and go down to the right
4. Fold the round bit toward the middle
5. Fold the sticking-out bit again
6. At the end, fold the small part, so the leaf is more round

If you look at the last picture, you can easily compare this part to a green bean.

To make another leaf, we will need to follow the same steps but mirror the folding part.

Take a look at the picture below, for reference.

You should have 6 parts altogether.

3. Assemble the Tulip Onto a Greeting Card

Now, a fun part, putting everything together into a beautiful tulip.

Start with a steam, apply glue on the back part of the steam, and stick it to the greeting card in the middle. You can leave a little bit of the paper sticking out. We will cut it later.

Next, apply glue to a triangle-shaped petal and glue it to the card at the end of a stem.

Now, stick to the greeting card 2 leftover petals. I start with a left one, followed by a right one.

We have 2 leaves to stick now. Again, apply glue to the bottom parts and stick them to the greeting card. One leaf should be on the left side of a flower, and one should be on the right side of the flower. You can leave a little bit of the leaves sticking out of the card.

Finally, we cut off the excess stem and leaves, and your card is now ready.

Conclusion

There are a lot of Mother’s Day card ideas out there.

In my opinion, handmade cars should be easy to make, affordable, and made from everyday materials we can find at home.

If you’re making homemade cards with your kids, using cupcake liners is a great way to stimulate their imagination.
