- Have kids draw and color pictures on the wrappers to create personalized treats to take to friends and family.
- Use stamps, glitter, and other craft supplies to make a creative design.
- Cut the blank wrappers out and trace around them on the back of wrapping paper, newspaper, or even photographs to create customized wrappers.
- Use scalloped scrapbooking scissors to cut the top edge out and create an elegant or trendy edge.
- Place templates on doilies or stiff lace and trace to create fancy wrappers for weddings or anniversaries.
Ideas for All Wrappers

- Printing a holiday design, perfect for a school party, family gathering or fundraising bake sale
- Matching the wrapper's design colors to the buttercream frosting you top the cupcake with
- Skipping the extensive frosting details and instead just making a simple swirl design, letting the wrappers the biggest design element
- Cutting the top of the wrappers with scrapbooking scissors for a scalloped edge
- Displaying on a clear acrylic cupcake holder so the decorative wrappers are not covered
Printable Wrapper Tips
Remember to keep these things in mind as you work with the wrappers:
- Wrappers are made to fit standard cupcakes unless otherwise specified. If you want to make mini-cupcakes or extra-large cupcakes, you might need to alter the wrappers in an editing program.
- Use cardstock for your wrappers as regular printing paper may be too flimsy.
- The cupcake wrappers do not come with bottoms, so you will still need to bake your cupcakes in a regular wrapper and then cover that one in your printed wrapper. Use a plain wrapper or one that coordinates with the design on the printed wrapper for best results.
- Save your downloaded wrappers with a name and in a place you will remember.
