If any of you are like me and have no idea how to crochet, here is a little tutorial for making cupcakes out of felt. Because we all need a little sweetness in our lives!
What you will need:
-Paper + pencil
-Scissors
-2 colors of felt of your liking (one for the bottom/middle part and one for the icing)
-Cereal box cardboard (or anything similar)
-Stuffing (wool, toystuffing, etc.)
-Thread (can match the felt or not)
-Needle (small one to fit through little beads if you choose to use them)
-Stuff for embellishment (beads, embroidery floss, little scraps of felt, anythings and everything that you fancy)
1. Cut out the paper shapes. The sizes are 1) the first circle/bottom piece 1.3/4″ x 1.3/4″, 2) the next smaller circle is cut from the cardboard and is 1.1/2″ x 1.1/2″, 3) the next pac man looking piece is 2.1/2″ x 2.1/2″, 4) the long piece at the bottom of the picture is 5.3/4″ (the longest part at the top) and 5″ (the smaller bottom part) x 1.1/2″.
2. Pin the paper shapes onto the felt and cut them out.
3. Sew up the top to make a little cone. I used a backstitch here but any old stitch would work just fine.
4. Flip the cone inside out and embellish the top to your hearts content. I sewed on little beads here and there to look like sprinkles. (this picture shows the middle part already sewed on, but it is easier to embellish before sewing on the middle so please ignore the color change and order of this photo).
5. Sew the middle piece together. I just put one end over the other and sewed it up.
6. Flip the middle inside out and pop in the already sewed and embellished top piece to the larger end of the middle piece (embellished side down).
7. Sew them together!
8. Flip it all inside out and stuff away. I used some of the toy (acrylic) stuffing from a teddy bear we were getting rid of.
9. Smoosh the cardboard circle and the bottom felt circle into place on the bottom. (Have your needle and thread ready for the next step)
10. Sew the bottom circle onto the middle part. I used a blanket stitch here.
11. Tada! a lovely little cupcake eagerly awaiting its first playmate.

So, so cute!! I had felt here at the house and went ahead and made one.. not too hard! And I’m sooo not good with sewing and all that but this is basic enough that I was able to make it look good. LOL
Only sad part is that my almost 2 year old already last it. I didn’t even get to show the bigger kids! Figures. lol
I’ll make more tomorrow.
