#CUPCAKE BAKER FOR KIDS HOW TO#

Once you have the shape of the pouf just how you like it, secure the ends to the double sided tape. Then, fold and gather the tissue paper, shaping the pouf as you get closer to the headband. The only difference is that now you do not have your pleats. This step is very similar to the way that you attached the tissue paper before. It will look like the photo above, you will be able to see through it. Once the tape is down, connect the tissue paper just like you did before on the other side.

If you lay the headband on its side on your workspace, it is much easier to roll the tape out. It can be tricky to get the double sided tape on the inside. Hot glue the ends together.Īfter the headband is secure, fold the pouf over. Make sure you have the correct measurements and that your paper is matched up evenly. If you are using striped paper, it is very important to match up your stripes so your seam will not be too noticeable. Make sure the tissue is attached strongly. Do not worry about keeping the pleats too tight. It will reach about halfway across your headband. Using a double sided tape roller, secure the pleated tissue paper to the back side (the side with the seam) of your headband. Step 3: Tape the pleated tissue paper to the headband. (Save the other one and a half inches left over to connect the headband at the end!) Hot glue your papers together in the middle. I measured my baker’s head at 21 inches, and since both papers were 12×12, I had about one and a half inches of overlap to do the hot gluing in the center. Next, measure your little cupcake baker’s head. Since my papers were 12×12, the headband ended up being 3 inches thick. First, fold both your papers into fourths to make sure it will be nice and sturdy. I decided that I would fold it over and use my hot glue gun to keep the seams together. Pick out a fun pattern of scrapbook paper, whatever your heart desires! My pink and white striped paper turned out very cute, but unfortunately was not very sturdy. My folds ranged from about 1/2 inch to 1 inch wide- the pleats do not have to be even nor anywhere near perfect!
