Felt Cupcake Kit :D

Oh my gosh these little felt crafts are getting around aren’t they? The lovely Retro Jet Girl was out shopping a little while ago, found some and sent me a care package! Now I have 3 more of these little guys to show you 😀 Thank you so much Retro Jet Girl! I’ll show you all the lovely care package items she sent me tomorrow in snapshots!

Obviously again I can’t take any credit for making this tutorial because I was just following their instructions. Full credit goes to the original company but I took photos while I was making it because I thought you might find it interesting anyway ^_^ You can find most of the materials around the house and you can easily substitute anything you like.

I find crafts like these really relaxing to do while watching a movie or unwinding before bed time.

So the first one I made was the cupcake!

Cute packaging as per usual though it doesn’t really look like any cupcake I’ve ever eaten XD

What you need:

Small brown circle of felt
Strip of brown felt
Needle and thread
Stuffing
Large white circle of felt
4 rounded triangles of yellow felt for icing
Seed beads
2 small circles of cardboard
1 large circle of cardboard

I started with the brown pieces and blanket stitched them together to form a tube…

Like this:

Next I took both small cardboard circles and 1/2 of the stuffing and sandwiched together. I shoved it into the tube and left it for later.

I took the yellow triangles and stacked them. I then sewed down the center from top to bottom.

… and flared them out. The instructions said I should leave like this but the felt kept springing back into place so I needed to stitch the sides together.

Last for this part I added a pearl on top.

I deviated from the instructions because this seemed easier. To make the top of the cupcake I took the icing and stitched to the middle of the white circle.
