How to Make Muffin Liners From Scratch
Here's how you can make DIY muffin liners from scratch at home! All you need is 10 minutes, a roll of parchment paper, and a few household items!
Servings: 6 or more liners
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Scissors
- Muffin pan
- Glass or can that fits inside muffin pan
Instructions
- Fold a sheet of parchment paper like a hot dog bun (without creasing it) and place the bottom of the glass on top of the fold. Adjust the paper so that it extends 1-2 inches on each side of the glass. Crease it.
- Cut the paper where the fold ends so you have one nicely folded sheet of parchment paper.
- Add folds in the opposite direction of the current fold to create equal squares.
- Cut along all creases so you end up with multiple parchment squares of equal sizes.
- Repeat the above steps until you have a square for each muffin. Feel free to cut extras and set them aside for a later date!
- Place the glass upside-down on your table and one at a time, place a parchment square over the bottom of the glass. Fold it over to crease it into a cup shape.Then, carefully place the glass (with the paper still folded over it) into the muffin pan. Press down and twist, then remove the glass and repeat with the rest of the parchment squares.

Notes
Materials: As these will be used for food, please make sure all materials are clean and dry before getting started.
Do I need a ruler? No, since muffin pan sizes vary, this tutorial uses a folding technique instead of measuring. The folds are made based on the size of the glass/can that fits inside of your pan.
General measurements:
- Jumbo muffin pans: cut 6 inch squares
- Regular muffin pans: cut 5 inch squares
- Mini muffin pans: cut 3-4 inch squares
