I love Pinterest and I have over 60 Boards there that I have added hundreds of Pins to of Projects that I love or want to do or have done.
I saw these cute felt cupcakes and when my middle granddaughter was having her 20th Birthday this year [2017] it was to be a cupcake theme. After the party I decided to see if there was some felt cupcakes I could make her for Christmas.
Special cupcakes
Pretty in Pink Cupcake Birthday Party for my Granddaughter
Three designs I found on Pinterest. One of the reasons I make my tutorials is because sometimes the items on Pinterest are just photos and no instructions or they are something for sale at Etsy or a Flicker photo.
I always change up my designs as to not make an exact copy of what is online in case the item is copyrighted. I do not copyright any of my designs. They are all FREE.
The Three Pink Cupcakes I made for my Granddaughter
Supplies
You will need felt color of your choice. Embroidery floss, Buttons and beads of your choice. Polyfill, pins, needles, sharp scissors. Paper for pattern.
First Idea from Pinterest
Second Idea from Pinterest
I love this one the best for the two top parts.

Pattern
So from what I saw at Pinterest I hand drew my designs for my pattern.
I freehand drew the two parts and used a ruler for the base.
I decided to make them a bit larger than a cupcake that you would eat. They are more like big Muffin size.
1. Choose your felt colors. Cut two of the middle part and only one of the top part. Cut out two of the cupcake bottom.
2. Choose your buttons and other beads for the two top parts.
3. Choose your embroidery floss colors to match or contrast you color scheme for your cupcake.
My one Granddaughter loves the pink colors so I choose the Ombre design for her Pink cupcakes.
Embroidery is next for the parts
Using two strands of floss for all the embroidery.
I started with the White top. I added the large button first so I had an orientation as to where I wanted that to be.
Next I added the crystal seed beads with the smallest needle I had.
The middle layer
I pinned the white top layer over the top of one of the middle layers so that was oriented correctly so I knew where I could sew the buttons on.
I used two strands of floss for the buttons as well.
I sewed on the larger buttons first, then added the smaller buttons and filled in with the smaller beads.
Next attach the white top to the middle layer with the buttons at this point. I did a running stitch with two strands of floss.
Next I made the vertical lines on one piece of the bottom layer.
Once that is done you can put all the parts together.
Using a running stitch around two sides of the cupcake bottom and sides sew the two bottom part together. I again used two strands of Floss. [See Illustration below.]
Lightly stuff both the middle and the bottom parts with Polyfil.
Next start your running stitch on the completed middle part.
Pin your middle part so it overlaps the bottom part of the cupcake so that the middle front and back cover the bottom. See back of cupcake photo below.
Once that is done you can finish between the B and back to the A area.
If you are going to use the cupcake as an ornament you can add a ribbon as shown here on the back side. I use the 1/8 size satin ribbon. I use about 8 to 10 inches of ribbon.
Red Cupcakes
My youngest granddaughter loves red so she requested red cupcakes with a brown or "Chocolate" colored cupcake bottom.
Her Mom, my daughter, found this cute Corduroy type felt for the Chocolate cupcake bottom.
So I made two for her.
I had a lot of fun making these cupcakes.
I am going to make some 3 dimensional cupcakes next such as shown in this photo from Pinterest!
Tutorial on that when I complete that project.
