DIY Wood Cupcake Wrappers and Topper Picks

DIY Wood Cupcake Wrapper and Picks

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! However, our DIY Wood Cupcake Wrappers and Picks project is great for any occasion such as a Rustic Woodsy Wedding, Masculine Birthday, Woodland Themed Party Decor, Wild Animals Kids Birthday Party, Lumberjack Treats, Baby Showers and more!

Note: For this project we only cut 2 wrappers per 11″ x 17″ .010″ Fleece Back Sheet, however with proper spacing, you could easily get 8-10 wood cupcake wrappers per sheet. We used cut files available in Cricut Design Space that measured approximately 8.5″ in across. It was just a little too tight for our 8.5″ x 11″  Wood Veneer Sheets so we opted for our 11″ x 17″ Wood Veneer Sheets.

We cut all the wrappers from the .010″ Thick Fleece Back Sheets. This particular thickness of Wood Veneer Sheet is much thinner than the Cricut Brand Wood Veneer so you are able to cut them with a regular Cricut Fine Point Blade. 

To learn more about our Real Wood Veneer Sheets and how to cut them, view Cutting Real Wood Paper with a Cricut Maker.

We opted for Long Grain Wood Veneer Sheets for this project because the wood grain would go up and down (not side to side) on the wrappers which allows the wrappers to bend/wrap around the cupcake. It’s bending with the wood grain rather than against the wood grain.

To learn more about our 3 Different Wood Veneer Thicknesses as well as the difference between Short Grain and Long Grain, please click the links provided.

For the Hearts and Love Picks, we used our .025″ Thick Wood Back Sheets. These Wood Veneer Sheets are similar to Cricut Wood Veneer and do require the Cricut Deep Point Blade. We did cut one of the Love Picks from the Walnut .010″ Fleece Back – one layer regular and one layer mirror image. We glued them together for stability and so that there was wood on both sides. These were pretty intricate cuts for wood veneer so it does take a gently hand in removing from the mat and assembly.

Before we added frosting and sparkling sugar, we test fit the cupcakes to the wood wrappers. Perfect fit! Going with a scalloped edge on the wood wrapper made the cupcakes look like cute little daisies! The Wood Wrappers would look great with muffins too. How adorable would a garden or flower themed breakfast or brunch be with muffins that look like daisies? So cute!!

DIY Party Wood Cupcake Wrappers

Take make the Cupcake Picks, we used the Quirky Script Font in Cricut Design Space for the Love sentiment. We cut 2 different sizes: 2.65″ wide and 2.2″ wide. The hearts measure approximately 2.5″ x 2.25″. We made the Love sentiment just slightly larger so it could be used on it’s own and slightly smaller to be placed on the hearts. For assembly, we just glued toothpicks to the backs with Beacons 3-in-1 Glue. Hot glue would be another good option. For the ones we cut out of the .010″ Fleece Back Sheets, we put the toothpick between the 2 layers of wood paper. We also glued one of the Love sentiments to the cupcake wrapper itself. 

After adding buttercream (yum!) frosting and sparkling sugar, we added the Cupcake Picks to our Wood Wrapped Cupcakes and enjoyed all the cuteness.

We hope you enjoyed this project. We invite you to share your Wood Veneer Cupcake Wrappers photos with us. We’d love to see them!

DIY Wood Gift Tags and Labels

DIY-Hot-Cocoa-Gift-Tags

Tis the season to give gifts! And what better gifts to give and receive but yummy homemade treats!

Below is a materials list and the details with how we created Wood Gift Tags and Labels. While the tags and labels are similar looking, changing up the ribbon, jute, font and or paper punch design can make each a unique piece of art. 

Materials Used:

  • 8.5″ x 11″ Cherry .010″ thick Fleece back Short grain
  • 8.5″ x 11″ White Pine .010″ thick Fleece back Short grain
    • Other species available HERE
  • Computer & Laser Printer
  • .25″ Paper Punch
  • 2.5″ Round Paper Punch
  • 3″ Round Paper Punch
  • 3″ Scalloped Paper Punch
  • Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue
  • Satin Ribbon
  • Natural Jute Cord
DIY Cookie Box Gift Tags
DIY Jelly Jar Gift Tags
DIY Muffin Wood Labels
DIY Hot Chocolate Jar Gift Tags

We used Word to create each set of words for our tags and labels. The key is to leave enough space around each set of words so that your paper punch doesn’t overlap and not make a complete circle. We used a standard HP Laser printer to print all the labels on the 8.5″ x 11″ White Pine Fleece Back sheet.  We punched out each set of words with a 2.5″ round paper punch. Using a 3″ Round or Scallop paper punch, we punched out all the backing pieces from a sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ Cherry Fleece Back sheet. To adhere the 3″ scalloped or round Cherry Wood Paper to the White Pine Wood Paper, we used Beacon’s 3-in1 Glue which can be purchased at any craft store or Amazon. At the top of the tags, we used a 1/4″ paper punched for a small round hole for the ribbon and natural jute.

Maple Wood Tag Cut With A Cricut Tutorial
Wood Tag Cricut Tutorial

Using this FREE SVG Gift Tag file, we determined the perfect size we needed with the tag by figuring out the longest name on our list and adjusted the size of the tag in Design Space to fit the name on the tag. Our tags final size is 2.5″ x 4″. We lined up a dozen tags, 4 across and 3 rows, to be cut from our 11″ x 17″ Maple Long Grain Wood Back Sheet. We could have easily gotten another row of tags for a total of 16 tags from one 11″ x 17″ sheet of wood paper. While we do have many species available including several gorgeous exotics and ornate woods, Maple matched our stockings the best which was the look we were going for with this project.

3 Wood Paper Thicknesses – Fleece, Paper and Wood

Real Wood Paper is available for purchase in 3 different thickness/backing materials:

.025″ thick Wood Back
.016″ thick Paper Back
.010″ thick Fleece Back 

All of our sheets begin as raw wood on one side, a layer of eco-friendly, biodegradable adhesive in the middle and then a backing of fleece, paper or another sheet of wood.

Fleece Backed (.010″ thick) is a very thin, sheer, flexible backing appropriate for dollhouse enthusiasts, candle wraps, lamp shades, envelope liners…anything where flexibility, luminosity and light-in-weight is a must. The backing material looks and feels similar to very thin vellum. It is also excellent for adhering to another material such as cardstock, wood, etc. (.010″ Thick = 10 PT/165 GSM)

Paper Backed (.016″ thick) is slightly thicker than the Fleece backing. The paper backing has a texture and is excellent for adhering to other backing materials such as cardstock, wood, etc. This thickness is frequently used as wedding invitations that are glued to a larger sheet of cardstock backing. It has great flexibility for printing, textured backing to ‘grab’ adhesive and creates a beautiful, sturdy invitation, announcement, etc. (.016″ Thick = 16 PT/265 GSM)

Wood Backed (.025″ thick) is very strong and sturdy yet still has the flexibility to run through laser printers using the straight feed feature. There is wood on both sides which is perfect for announcements, menus, invitations, programs and more. You get to see the beauty of the wood on both sides. (.025″ Thick = 25 PT/414 GSM)

Great Use Ideas:

*Print on using a laser printer or sublimation printer
*Cut with scissors, craft knives, cutting boards, paper cutters, guillotine cutters, Cricut Maker, paper punches, laser cutters, etc.
*Paint, stain, draw with ink pen
*Laser cutting
*Wood burning
*Score and Fold
*Model making

Wood Paper Grain Direction – Long Grain and Short Grain Explained

We are often asked What is the difference between Short Grain and Long Grain? In this quick video we will show you the difference in Real Wood Paper Grain Directions. 

When you bend with the grain, our wood paper sheets are more flexible. When you bend against the grain, our wood paper sheets are more rigid. So depending on your particular project and use, grain direction can be a very important consideration.

Materials Featured: On the left is our Cherry .025″ thick wood back Short Grain and on the right is our Maple .025″ thick wood back Long Grain. Both are standard stocked in 5″ x 7″, 8.5″ x 11″ and 11″ x 17″ size sheets.

3D Wood Star & Christmas Tree Topper

3D Wood Star and Christmas Tree Topper

Wow! Wow! Wow! Check out these delicate Cherry Wood Star & Tree Topper created with our Thin Wood Veneer and a Cricut Maker!

Below is a materials list and a few details with how she created the DIY 3D Star and Christmas Tree Topper. Check them out below.

  • 2 – 8.5″ x 11″ Vellum (to line inside the tree topper)
  • Cricut Maker

The SVG cutting file from Etsy comes with all the instructions so we won’t go on about that. Below are a few helpful tips.

  1. For the star, it doesn’t really matter if you use long grain or short grain wood sheets as the SVG file cuts in all directions.
  2. For the Christmas tree topper cone, she used short grain because our wood sheets rolled into a tube easier with short grain. If the tube had been rolled the other direction, long grain would have rolled better. Roll with the grain. Not against the grain.
  3. The SVG file comes with really nice score lines for folding. A Pro-Tip is to use just a little water on the wood on those score lines and then using a bone folder, score the lines on the back side of the wood. The wood creases beautifully.
  4. Assemble 4 of the points, if using twinkle lights insert all the lights before adding the 5th star point.
  5. If using twinkle lights with a battery pack and on/off switch, leave that out of the star when assembling. The tree topper cone will hide the mechanics but still allow you to access them to change batteries and turn lights on/off.
  6. If adding lights, she did say she cut a little notch on one side of the 5th point to allow room for the wires to hang down into the cone.
  7. The cone tree topper was just hand rolled into a cone shape. There is not a cut file for that in the SVG file.
  8. The cone topper where it attaches to the star was a little finicky. The artist cut notches on either side of the cone to cradle the star while the center points were taller to cover the opening created for the wires.

Below is a list of all the materials and Cricut settings we used to create this work of art.

  • Cricut Maker
  • 2 – Deep Point Blades (We recommend NEW blades for best results.)
  • 9 – 11″ x 17″ Maple Wood Back Veneer Short Grain
  • 12″ x 24″ Cricut Cutting Mat (Or cut sheets down to fit 12″ x 12″ mat.)
  • SVG File from Etsy (We have no connection to the seller. We just loved the design and like to support artisans.)
  • Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue
  • Sandpaper
  • Cricut Maker Settings: Natural Wood Veneer, Default Pressure
Cricut Wood Veneer Layered Mandala

If you are at all familiar with Cricut, there isn’t much explanation needed for this project. Cut each of the 9 layers separately. Keep in mind this is wood and wood will have shavings and little splinters. You’ll need to go around the edges with a piece of sanding paper just to smooth out the edges to clean up the piece before you assemble. For assembly, we started with piece #9, the solid wood piece and slowly glued each layer onto the next. We didn’t really wait between layers for the glue to dry. Glued, Placed, Pressed, Repeat.

While writing this post, it did occur to me that if someone wanted to take this to the next level they could paint the flower and the background different colors. Since I see this flower as a poinsettia, I would paint the flower red and then the rest of the wood background a beautiful shade of green. I would recommend trying either acrylic paint watered down for a white wash effect or using watercolors. I think watercolors would be beautiful!

Printing & Sewing on Real Wood Paper

“To Plant A Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow” is a beautiful quote by Audrey Hepburn. A beautiful & talented artist friend of ours was commissioned to draw and design a digital graphic for us to use just for this project. She oozes talent as you can quite clearly see.

To Plant A Garden printed on Wood Paper
Printing & Sewing and Real Wood Paper
To Plant A Garden quote by Audrey Hepburn

We used 2 species of wood for this project. We used 1 sheet of  Aspen .010″ Fleece Back 8.5″ x 11″ Long Grain and 1 sheet of Cherry .025″ Wood Back 8.5″ x 11″ Long Grain.

To Plant A Garden quote by Audrey Hepburn

Printing on Real Wood Paper

While we do recommend Short Grain direction for portrait prints, our Aspen .010″ Fleece Back Long Grain sheet went through the HP ENVY Photo 7855 printer just fine. (The .016″ Paper Back Long Grain did not go through as a Portrait print. Use Short Grain as a Portrait print.)

We get asked all the time about what printer do you recommend. There are far too many printers available for us to test print on every printer. And frankly, we aren’t in the printing business. We just want to bring beautiful, all natural wood sheets into your creative world.

We used a photo printer for this project which is NOT a Laser Printer. We always recommend a Laser Printer or seeking a professional printing company. However, we have been testing the waters with this HP ENVY Photo 7855. It’s doing ok. There is some bleeding on the Aspen, if you look closely. This is why we recommend Laser Printers. Ink Jet printers ink is wet, takes time to dry and during that drying time…the ink can bleed aka follow the wood grains. We always recommend testing with your specific printer. We mention this printer because it has done a really nice job printing on maple and cherry. Aspen is a grainier wood which tends to allow for more ink bleeding.

Sewing on Real Wood Paper

Not only did we go against all odds and use a non-laser printer on this project BUT we also hand sewed the corners. Yep. You heard that right! You can sew Real Wood Paper. Our .010″ thick Fleece back and .016″ thick Paper back sheets can be sewn on a sewing machine! For this project though, we needed a little more exactness on the corners so we opted for hand sewing.

First, we used a guide and needle tool to punch through the wood. Threaded up our needle and away we went!

This project was actually very quick and easy. The finished print size is approx 6″ x 7″. We used Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue to adhere the Aspen Fleece Back to the Cherry Wood Back prior to sewing the corners. This was maybe a 1 hour project start to finish. Cute. Unique. and Perfect for our Greenhouse.

We used 2 species of wood for this project. We used 1 sheet of Walnut .010″ thick Short Grain and 1 sheet of Maple .010″ thick Short Grain. 

The SVG Cut File was purchased from Etsy. There are 4 cut layers and we arranged them so that we could get all 4 layers out of one 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of wood paper.

While we do like to use the Strong Grip Mat, we also always use painters tape to tape down our Real Wood Paper sheets. We don’t want them to move. The wood is too beautiful to waste!

Pressed Flower Memorial Bookmarks

I lost my Dad just 5 weeks ago. While we are so very heartbroken, I wanted to make a keepsake for myself and family. I pressed flowers from his funeral with the intent of making wooden bookmarks. One morning it came to me. I needed to scan his signature onto the bookmarks. I had birthday cards he had given to various family members over the years. I was able to scan in a signature for each role he was to our family.

Love you, Bob
Love you, Dad
Love you, Grandpa Tossava

Husband. Brother. Father. Father-in-law. Grandfather.

Pressed Flower Memorial Wooden Bookmark

For the bookmark, I used .025″ Thick Cherry Wood Back Short Grain and cut them 3″ wide by 7″ long. You can cut them to any size you desire with a paper cutter, guillotine, scissors, sharp blade, etc. 

For the printed on circle cutouts, I used both .016″ Thick Maple Paper Back Short Grain and .016″ Thick Birch Paper Back Short Grain. I first printed them with a HP Envy Photo 7855 printer, then cut them out with a 2.5″ circle paper punch. Again, you can make them any size. This is what worked for me and my project. We do also have Pre-Cut Cherry Wood Bookmarks available, if you want to bypass all the cutting and just get to crafting.

I would like to point out that all flowers are not good for pressing. While we did have a gorgeous assortment of roses that I would have loved to use, they are too big, bulky and do not press well. Roses are better preserved using silica gel, which I did do. Smaller, dainty flowers work best for pressing. I took a chance with the daisies but they turned out beautiful. Almost translucent after I ran them through the laminator.

I put all the flowers between sheets of printer paper and placed them in between pages of a huge dictionary I have. I waited about 2 weeks and they were ready to go.

For glue, my first go-to is always Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue. You can purchase that from any craft store. I used if for the signature pieces and the flowers. I arranged each bookmark, glued everything in place and let them dry overnight. The next day I ran them through a laminator. You do not need an expensive or elaborate laminator. I used a very inexpensive laminator that I’ve had for over 10 years. I used a paper cutter to trim each bookmark down.

To say I was pleased with how this idea of a keepsake turned out for myself and family, would be an understatement.
