Cheap and Easy Daisy Crafts Using Muffin/Cupcake Liners

This blog post was inspired by a great find. At the Michael's 80% off post-Valentine's Day craft sale, I scored a basket full of muffin liners for 39 cents a piece. I bake a lot and I do not care what my liners look like-it what it holds that counts!

That got me to thinking about my Daisy Girl Scout leader days, when a walk into the craft store led me to the children's crafting department. Now that my girls are fifth grade Juniors, I do not often think about easy crafts for Daisy Scouts.

But my muffin liner stash had the wheels in my head turning.

Saint Patrick's Day is around the corner, and there will be clearance liners for that, too. You can also use a coupon to buy a package of plain white liners. These crafts would make great Mother's Day projects or even a community service project to help earn the yellow Friendly and Helpful or the spring green Daisy petal Considerate and Caring.

Crafts do not have to be complicated or expensive. A little bit of savvy shopping and some ideas go a long way!

Here are some muffin liner craft ideas for you to use with your troop!
