How to make tulips or cups liners for pans.

Why should I use cup liners?!
Using cup liners gives any cup cake or muffin a more festive or celebratory look and makes for easy pan clean up.Cup liners comes in all colors ,shapes and sizes. I always spray my cupcake/muffin pan first so the cupcake/muffin tops don't stick to the pan. Then I insert the liners, and spray the liners lightly also, just to make sure the papers peel away nicely.
