DIY Week: Cupcake flags with Yours, Truly
July 29th, 2009

Thought I’d sneak in and share a fun + EASY DIY of my own! :o)
Cupcakes are a fabulous addition to any wedding or event and the only thing that can make them even cuter is a little flag flying above them!!! I spent an afternoon baking a batch of red velvet goodness and then popped these already assembled hand-lettered flags on top. Cute, no? Scroll down for the how-to …
What you’ll need:
- Cupcakes ;o) … You could whip up a batch yourself or give the task to your local bakery
- Toothpicks
- Zots from Michael’s {great little double-sided stickies for adhering the flags}
- Flags {I used some from Martha Stewart’s collection but you could easily make your own}
The steps:
First, you’ll need to choose what you want to write on the flags … it could be your shared monogram, your wedding date, your names or a cute saying … Second, either write your chosen words on the flags –or– task it out to your favorite calligrapher! Third, wrap the flag around the end of a toothpick and adhere with a Zot. Finally, fold the flags in thirds to create a wavy look and place the toothpicks in the cupcakes. All done!
Too time-consuming? Just order them!
If you love the look but don’t have the time, no worries! I’m currently taking custom orders through my shop! I’ll find the flags, hand-letter them in my custom calligraphy, attach them to the toothpicks and mail them to you for your special event!
Just e-mail me with the following info:
- The flag color
- The ink color
- The words you’d like hand-lettered on the flags
- The number of flags you’d like to order
Flags are only $1 each and I accept payment via PayPal. Shipping is a flat $12 {includes priority mail + delivery confirmation}. For more information, visit my shop, SD Calligraphy! I look forward to hearing from you!
