These sweet treats are very simple and easy crafts to make, so I’m keeping these posts short. Also this is my busiest season and I don’t have as much time as I’d like for writing. 

You might also be interested in this series of DIY Christmas Gifts, there are 75 awesome ideas in there!

I turned this DIY felt cupcake into a Christmas ornament, but you could also omit the string loop and it instantly becomes felt play food! Make a dozen for your little one to use in their play kitchen.

I used a mix of shades of pink tiny seed beads to add sprinkle details to the icing.

Included in this sweet treat DIY series is also an ice cream cone and a sprinkle donut. All three patterns are on the same printable, you only need to sign up once to get all the patterns. 

DIY Felt Cupcake

Materials

Felt – I used this felt in Linen and Blush. (The cherry is from a leftover scrap of Pink Coral I had. I found using red was a bit harsh.)
Seed beads – these are similar to what I used
Polyfil or wool stuffing
Tweezers – for easier stuffing
Embroidery Thread – to match 
8″ String – optional
Printed pattern – make sure you print it at 100% so the sizing is correct. (Get the pattern at the end of this post.)
Embroidery scissors or snips

Steps 1 & 2

Use 2 strands of matching thread and long uneven straight stitches to add the details to the cupcake liner. Then use 1 strand of thread and a backstitch to secure the liner to the cupcake base.

Use one strand of pink thread to secure a selection of seed beads to the icing. Keep the beads away from the edges of the icing so you have room to stitch it to the backing.

Add some beading and embroidery detailing to the cupcake.

Step 3

Use a single matching thread and a backstitch to sew the icing in place. Then then add some backstitching between the beads to create a little dimension in the icing.

Step 4

Use one strand and a tiny backstitch to secure the cherry on top of the cupcake.

Step 5

Use a blanket stitch and 2 strands of thread to stitch the front and back together. Start at around the 7 o’clock mark on the liner, stitch around to the other side and use the tweezers to gently stuff it as you go around.

Step 6 (Optional)

Add a loop of string before you seal up the cupcake if you want to use it as an ornament.
