  Step 1

  First of all you will need to make a template for the cup. You will need a circle <a href="/photos/crafty/cupcake/cupbottomtemplate.gif" target="new">[template]</a> for the bottom and a long rectangle strip <a href="/photos/crafty/cupcake/rectangletemplate.gif" target="new">[template]</a> 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.

• 

  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.

• 

  Step 3

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

• 

  Step 4

  Now sew down the open side.

• 

  Step 5

  Find a piece of foam that will fit inside comfortably.

• 

  Step 6

  Now take the felt in the colour that you want the cupcake to be and cut out a large circle <a href="/photos/crafty/cupcake/cupcaketemplate.gif" target="new">[template]</a>.

• 

  Step 7

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

• 

  Step 8

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

• 

  Step 9

  Now cut out an icing shape <a href="/photos/crafty/cupcake/icingtemplate.gif" target="new">[template]</a> 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.

• 

  Step 10

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

• 

  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.
