i'm thinking teacher gifts...i know i'd sure love to receive this from my students!

would also be a cute baby shower idea or favor. i'm sure there are a million ways it could be used.

String of lights decorated with cupcake liners...why can't i think of these things?http://cfabbridesigns.com/blog/?p=3916
can't wait to make them.

i've also seen strings of lights made with flower petals and seashells over the lights.

maybe after vacation i can tackle these cuties!

if you are interested in trying them I recently saw some DARLING cupcake liners at Michaels craft store.

This was a fun, relatively quick project. I think it would be cute for a gift for a little girl. The pieces are certainly sturdy and should last a long time.
