Why are the cupcake wraps so darn expensive!! It is just a piece of decorated scrapbook paper with a slit for the tab. They charge 4 dollars for 12! What the heck!
I think if you have a cricut you can make your own. Otherwise maybe check Etsy where people are making them.
You can also use a coupon. It helps. Although... I've never purchased them. Too darn expensive for me. Even with a coupon. BUT if a customer wanted them, I'd do it. But only with a coupon!
there was a thread on here recently with a link to a template to make your own out of scrapbook paper. the search function hasn't been working lately or I'd try and find it for you. It wasn't that long ago. If you can't find it, PM me your e-mail addie, I downloaded the PDF file and can send it to you.
Here you go - just knock the % down in your tool bar if its to big for what you want...then print it out on to some thin carboard . 
If you go google - there are quite a few templates to choose.
