This was super easy to make. I used the flaps off of a cardboard box to make the L. Then I sat in front of the tv and watched 1.5 movies while I hot glued the cupcake liners all over the cardboard. I glued them pretty close together so the cardboard wouldn't show through. I think I ended up using about 175 liners, but the L is almost 2 ft. tall, so I had a lot of space to fill! I did get one pretty bad hot glue burn on my thumb, but I love hot glue so I won't hold that against it.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3: Glue all over shape of choice.
Step 4:
And up close:
Love, love, love! L for love? That kind of makes sense in the dining room. Or maybe lasagna??
