How to make a Cupcake Craft

Step 1: Use the Free Cupcake Craft Template

• Download and print the free cupcake craft template.
• Use the template to cut out the parts for your cupcake using whatever colors of construction paper you want. Make as many cupcakes as you want.

Step 2: Assemble the Cupcakes

• Use your glue stick to attach the cut out top of the cupcake to the cut out cupcake liner. Combine whatever colors you want.

Step 3: Decorate Your Paper Cupcakes

• Dig into your kids’ craft bag and pull out whatever you want to decorate your cupcakes.
• We started by using markers to give the cupcakes some details.
• Next we used items like paper dots punched with the hole punch, cotton for extra frosting, tiny pomoms, beds, paper cut into sprinkles, washi tape and cut out cherries (included in template). Use whatever you have on hand, and use your creativity.

Make It a C is for Cupcake Craft

• To make your cupcake into a letter C craft, simply draw on a big letter ‘C’ using markers or crayons or cut out a letter C from construction paper and glue it onto the front of your craft.

This is what is called an open-ended craft. Basically, we are providing the canvas (the cupcake), and you’ll provide the imagination to bring it to life. There is no wrong way to make this craft. Give it all you’ve got.

This would be a super fun craft to make as part of a birthday party. Crafting together is the perfect way to celebrate.
