  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    First of all you will need to make a template for the cup. You will need a circle [template] for the bottom and a long rectangle strip [template] that will fit around the circumference of the circle. Take a piece of felt in the colour that you would like the cup. Then draw out the shapes from the templates on to the felt.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Take a piece of thread in a colour matching the felt and using a hemming stitch sew the rectangle along the circumference of the circle.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Sew the two pieces together until you have something that looks like this.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Now sew down the open side.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Find a piece of foam that will fit inside comfortably.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Now take the felt in the colour that you want the cupcake to be and cut out a large circle [template].

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Wrap the felt circle around a piece of foam making sure that it fits nicely.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Place this inside the cup you made earlier and pin in place. Sew the cupcake in place using a running stitch.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    Now cut out an icing shape [template] out of the third piece of felt. Find some thread that matches the colour. Sew the icing to the top of the cupcake using a hemming stitch.

  10. Step 10

    Step 10

    Find a small red piece of foam. Sew this to the top of your cupcake. This is the cherry.

  11. Step 11

    Step 11

    I sewed little beads to the cupcake to look like sprinkles. You can add eyes or whatever you want to decorate it. I choose not to add eyes because I would be using it as a pin cushion and it would make me feel cruel.
