Baking Cup Art

Hi Everyone!!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Question for ya?

So what do you get when you combine an unused canvas, remnant paint, and cupcake baking cups?

Why baking cup art, of course!!  This was such a fun and gratifying project.  I posted on Istagram a while ago about the vast blank spot wall in the family room and asked for ideas on how to fill it.  On Saturday I attended an event on color at my local West Elm and spotted this on a huge wall in the store:

I was completely shocked when I realized it was cupcake baking cups!!  I knew I just HAD to have it somewhere in our home and I knew exactly how I was gonna do it.

I inherited a very large piece of art from a friend a while ago.  It was sitting in the garage because I was saving it to reuse the canvas at some point.

 
This project was incredibly easy.  I was a little time consuming, but once I got in a groove it went very quickly. I started by spraying painting the frame and brushing out the entire canvas white. After it dried I hot glued the baking cups to the canvas
 
 


 
I ended up using five bags of 75 count baking cups for this project. Next I just painted the inside of the cups in leftover paint I had on hand.  I chose coral, mint, grey and chartreuse for my color palette. 
 
 
 
 
I love the visual texture of the cups. I hate the visual texture of that damn knock down texture on the walls.  Gah….why did the builders go there!?
 
 

I love how this project turned out. 
 
 
 
Thank you West Elm for the inspiration.  Until next time…..

    I love this! It’s cheap and adorable and it doesn’t look like its cheap. The colors are perfect and your version is way better than the west elm one but don’t tell them I said that 😡

    Store displays can be a great source of inspiration and you executed this idea in your home really well … great results and a nice addition to the wall. Perfect color palette you came up with from leftover paint, really is a great offset to the royal blue wall. The coral color looks to be the shade I’ve been searching for (mine keep going too pink) … happen to know the name / brand? Have a great week, Robin
