I am of the belief that pretty things should be seen and not stashed hidden away in a drawer or cabinet somewhere. "Case" in point, there pretty cupcake cases...
I bake a lot of cupcakes, so I've managed to amass quite a collection of them over the years. I like to keep them displayed in this big glass jar on my kitchen counter...
The cases are so pretty and colorful - it would be such a shame not to see them on a daily basis.
The jar is practical, too. It has a wide opening, so it's easy to reach and grab just what I want. And because the glass is clear, I have no trouble finding exactly the ones that I need.
Plus, the best part is that they look like a jar full of beautiful candy...but without all the calories!

This is brilliant!! I already keep my flour, sugar, and other dry goods in similar jars...off to find an empty one for my cupcake wrappers!
Thank you for the idea!

This is such a great idea! I love cupcake wrappers so much that sometimes I have a hard time using the cute ones because I want to save them all! lol

My daughter & I have a good collection of muffin papers, too! We love picking out the perfect ones to use each time. I just picked up some monkey ones at the market, & she was thrilled when I showed her! Thanks for showing this collection & many others here on your pretty & inspirational blog!

I havea jar like this too! I use it for my scraps of fabric :) I love it! These photos really make me want to cook something!
Posted by: Lindsay C | April 27, 2011 at 12:39 PM
I totally love this idea - I have been inspired to store my buttons/ribbons/fabric scraps/cupcake cases etc in the same way!
Posted by: Lizzy | May 02, 2011 at 11:41 AM
How big a jar is this? Trying to work out which size jar to buy so I can do the same thing!
Posted by: Carrie | May 01, 2012 at 03:23 PM
Just followed bought a big glass jar myself! I saw your lovely cupcake liner storage system on Pinterest and have been coveting something similar since. Mine isn't quite as roomy as yours, but it's really pretty and fun! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
