Cupcake Wars: Day Three - Milky Way

This is day three of our Cupcake Wars!

Here are our ingredients for the day.

2.5 in Styrofoam balls

Cupcake baking cups 

Ribbon (For this project, I chose May Arts' TG32 Gross Grain Stripes)

Glue Gun

Embellishments

Start off with gluing the tip of your ribbon.

Curl your ribbon in to adhere and create what looks like a piece of shaved chocolate.

Repeat the last two steps until you have enough curls to fill the top half of the foam ball. (I used 3 yards of ribbon, approximately 50 curls.)

Randomly glue the curls on your foam ball starting at the top, working your way down. You don't need to have it uniformed. Having the ribbons face different directions creates the right effect!

Once you have the top half of the ball completely coverd, glue around the ball directly underneath the ribbon.

Place the ball in the cupcake liner and press lightly to adhere the liner to the foam ball.

Here is the Milky Way!

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. 

I would love to see what you guys create!

Cupcake Wars: Day Two - Strawberry Shortcake

Here is day two of our Cupcake Wars!

Here are our ingredients for the day.

2.5 in Styrofoam balls

Cupcake baking cups 

Ribbon (For this project, I chose May Arts' QK17 Ombre Looped Edge)

Glue Gun

Embellishments

Start of by putting a dot of glue at the center of your ball.

Place your ribbon over the glued spot and stretch over the ball, gluing it down at the opposite side.

Repeat the last two steps, placing the ribbon directly next to the last piece.

Once the foam ball is completely covered, it should like this. 

Glue around the ball directly underneath the ribbon.

Place the ball in the cupcake liner and press lightly to adhere the liner to the foam ball.

I made a bunch of tiny ribbon curls to top the cupcake off with. I glued the curls on top and "sprinkled" it using Stickles.

Here is the Strawberry Shortcake!
