Transform your front door into a stunning display with a giant sunflower wreath crafted from bright yellow paper cupcake liners. This creative and affordable DIY brings a burst of sunshine to your home’s exterior, making it a perfect way to welcome guests with a warm, cheerful touch.
Hang the sunflower wreath on a wooden or metal door for a striking contrast. Pair it with potted sunflowers or daisies nearby to enhance the floral theme.

Cupcake Liner Sunflower Wreath
Materials
100 bright yellow paper cupcake liners
1 large flat wooden wreath form (approximately 18 inches in diameter)
Hot glue gun with glue sticks
Scissors
Ruler
Directions
Flatten each cupcake liner by pressing it down gently to create a petal-like shape.
Using the ruler, mark evenly spaced points around the edge of the wooden wreath form to guide where the cupcake liners will be glued.
Starting from the outer edge, glue each flattened cupcake liner onto the wreath form, slightly overlapping each one to mimic the layered petals of a sunflower.
Continue working inwards, applying a second and third layer of liners until the entire wreath form is covered, creating a full and rounded appearance.
Allow the glue to dry completely before handling or hanging the wreath.
Variations & Tips
For a personalized touch, consider using colored cupcake liners to create a multi-toned sunflower or add a few brown liners in the center for a more realistic look. You can also experiment with different sizes of cupcake liners for varied petal textures or incorporate green liners at the base to mimic leaves. These variations maintain the core structure while allowing for creative expression.
