Do you ever have those days where you
miss the simpler times of playing tag and doing double dutch at
recess? 
When I stumbled upon some neon colored jump ropes at the
dollar store the other day, I couldn’t resist. The rope I use in
this project was one of the cheap rubber ropes – hollow and not
actually great for jumping rope with.
This simple DIY repurposes jump rope
into playful cupcake décor that’s sure to be a hit at your next
summer party.
Supplies:
-Rubber jump rope,
scissors, wire (I used 20 gauge), wire cutters, needle-nose pliers.
Method:
  1. Cut the handle off of the jump
    rope.
  2. Cut the jump rope into 22”
    segments. If you want to make a bigger bow for a cake instead of
    cupcakes, play around with longer lengths.
  3. Tie each segment into a bow, being
    sure to pull the knot tight. You don’t want it to unravel while
    it’s on your cupcake!
  4. Cut a length of wire for each bow;
    I started mine at 12” long and trimmed them later.
  5. Slide one end of the wire through
    the back of the knot on the bow.
  6. Fold the wire back on itself.
  7. Using your needle-nose pliers,
    twist the wire to secure.
  8. Repeat for the rest of the bows.
  9. Place the toppers on your
    cupcakes. Now is a good time to trim the wires to whatever height
    you like; I found my cupcakes couldn’t support a very long wire,
    so I kept mine on the shorter side.
