When I was pregnant with Lady I saw the cutest cupcake costume on etsy and I knew right then I MUST have it! Well this year she will finally be able to wear this adorable costume! So I go online with such joy to order it then I saw the price $90 and that was on sale from $140!!!
(insert shocked face here) I was so heart broken but wait I can just make one myself and I did just that. I spent day's thinking about how i could construct it ,and after a few days (because I was to busy to finish it in an hour) and a million hot glue gun burns later I had made the cupcake costume of my dreams shown above! I couldn't wait for lady to try it on a share my awesome pictures with you! Then my heart was broken once again she wouldn't wear it! She is afraid to stick her head into it! I'm crushed! I wanted to cry! O well I guess we will be saving this one for next year ,but I thought that maybe since lady won't wear her's I can live through everyone else and you can make your own cupcake costume! So let's get started.
What you need
* Poster board
* Fabric for your cupcake top and liner
* Batting
* Hot glue gun
* Felt
* Tulle
1. Cut your poster board into 2 strips ( I eye balled this and just made them come to her knees)
then using your glue gun connect your two pieces together to make a ring that will go aroung your little girl or boy I don't judge.
2. Hot glue your fabric for your cupcake lining around your poster board I used hot pink satin
3. Hot glue your batting onto the top of your poster bored/ lining
4. Hot glue your cupcake top fabric over your batting I used white sheer fabric not sure what kind.
5. cut out felt hearts for your sprinkles and hot glue them onto your cupcake top.
6. Cut 4 strips of tulle and hot glue them onto the inside of your cupcake so you can tie them together and this will hold your cupcake up. See picture below.
Now you are done! I hope you enjoy and I would love to see your finished project!
LOVE THIS! How adorable!

I feel your pain on the not wearing it issue. Last year I made this amazing Minni Mouse skirt for A, and then she wouldn't wear it! Then last spring I ordered these amazing tutu's and guess what she won't wear! Today we're at a craft fair and she finds a Minni Mouse tutu costume, and guess who HAS TO HAVE it! When I bring it to her attention that Ive made her all these things and ask why will she wear this one she says "You didn't make the ear headband or the matching flip flops" REALLY!!!!! Beautiful cupcake though!
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't need any straps to hold it up?
