Materials I started with:
- large colored plastic eggs
- treat cups
- Elmer’s Painters pens
- Small colored pom poms
- Glue dots
To make them glow, I also used battery-operated tea light candles.
It is a super simple two step process.
First, separate your plastic eggs and decorate the larger half of your egg using spring-colored Painters pens to create sprinkles or frosting details on your “cupcakes”.
Next, attach a colorful pom pom on the top with a glue dot. For a glowing cupcake, place the battery-operated tea light inside the bottom half before closing.
Then, just place the decorated cupcake egg top inside the treat cup to finish the look.
Oh and don’t forget that when you want them to, they can GLOW!
Just turn on the tea light and enjoy — battery-operated tea lights are recommended for safety.
