1. Cut flowers with your Cricut from a variety of papers. Don’t have a Cricut? You can download free images online and cut them out with scissors
.
2. Punch out faces from photos.
3. Apply adhesive to the back of the faces and adhere to the center of the mini cupcake liners.
4. Apply adhesive to center of flower die cuts and adhere mini cupcake liners.
5. Press one end of paper straw until it is flat, then tape it to the back of the flower.
