Want to fancy up your cupcakes a little? One thing you can try is making your own cupcake wrappers. You can buy them, certainly, but it is inexpensive and easy to make them and you get to choose your own designs.
We used this template, three or four sheets of 12" scrapbooking paper in various designs and a dozen cupcakes. The chocolate cupcake batter was so dark that it bled through the pretty white polka dots on the cupcake liners! We printed out the template, chose our pretty scrapbooking paper, and went to work.
BEFORE we frosted the cupcakes, we cut out one wrapper and tested it around a cupcake to make sure it was the right size. We taped it together with clear tape, both on the inside and the outside of the wrapper, to hold it together. Then we made the rest of our wrappers the same size as the first. Depending on your muffin tin or the height of your cupcakes (how fluffy the tops are), you might need to make the liners slightly taller or trim them to be a little shorter.
We used plain scissors on some of the wrappers and "fancy" scissors (that is, the scissors with scalloped/zig-zag edges) on others. We frosted the cupcakes once they were safely in their wrappers, just because that was what was easiest for us.

How adorable is that? We don't do this often, because usually we like our cute cupcake liners to show, but once in a while this is fun and easy way to make our cupcakes just a little fancier. Hooray!
