That is exactly how I felt, Granny Beth, and it couldn’t be easier. Enjoy your new found gem of an idea! 🙂
This is brilliant! I can definitely use this for by the pool this summer! I’m always picking up cute cupcake liners at Home Goods…that store is addicting! Thanks for the idea! If you have a free moment, I would love it if you would stop by and share it with us at #FoodieFriDIY too!
