Easy Cupcake Liner Snowflake Craft for Kids

It’s time do some baking around here. With Squeaker’s birthday being in early December, we try to plan a small party with family and close friends.

So, for example, during Fall; I like to buy the ones with leaves or Halloween themed liners. Around this time of the year, I like to buy the Winter themed cupcake liners and Christmas themed cupcake liners. And while they do get used, I was also thinking of other ways to use them.

When it comes to Christmas shopping and gifting, I always like to have something extra on hand to give to guests. Or to give to local community members or neighbors.
