How to Make a Cupcake from a Flannel (Washcloth)
Remember the gorgeous Guest Post that the wonderful Anjie from Pom Pom Emporium did for us a little while back – well if you don’t, simply head back in time and take a look at these beautiful Pom Pom Flowers.
Anyway, she is BACK and with yet another fabulous idea – these Flannel Cupcakes! How simple and yet how gorgeous are they!? Perfect baby shower gifts or stocking fillers or a “just like that” present. Inexpensive, fun, FABULOUS! Here we go:
To get started you will need
- washcloth
- Paper cup
- Rubber band
- Lollipop
For the cupcake wrapper I cut a paper cup down to the required size. I estimated my paper cup should stand about 5cm (2″) tall. Resting a pencil on a box, of the desired hight and with it touching the cup, I turned my cup slowly to give me a perfect line. I cut the excess paper away. Alternatively you can find printable cupcake wrappers on the internet to download, but I decided my idea using paper cups was easier and held the washcloth really well.
To form the ‘cake’ from the washcloth just follow the photographic tutorial below or watch this very good demonstration video I came across by Jonathan Fong How to make a cupcake from a washcloth What a star!
I think these cupcakes would make a really nice ‘thank you’ gift for a teacher or alternatively a very easy project for a class to make. You could buy white paper cups and let children design and colour their own cupcake wrappers
Gorgeous! Please do go and visit Anjie and check out all her other wonderful things!

How cute and fun. There were some lollipop soaps posted on my linky party–how fun would the two of these be together?
Definitely! Think I saw the soaps – they were fabulous!
Thank you! Very much appreciated! Hope you enjoy the blog going forward!
What a fun idea! I totally see this as a gift for sure! Maybe a soap ball instead to go with the hand wash theme.
Great idea!!
I have to tell you that from time to time the hubby checks my blog. It is infrequent and I think it’s cute when he comments about something. He LOVED this as do I… You will definatly be a feature today! Thank you as always for linking to It’s Stinkin’ Cute Craft Thursday!

hi i was just wondering what kind of lollipops you used, I just love this design and have searched for lollipops this size but can not find any for the life of me. The ones they sell in the store do not have a clear wrapper so that the color of the lolli can be shown. They only sell the jolly rancher ones but the wrapper has the rancher print and words on it. Oh and please keep in mind that I live in Hawaii so the stores are limited. Thank you.
Hi Taryn!! Oh no!!! That really is rather difficult! I have to confess, this is a Guest Post from Anji and have no idea what she used in the end! Oh no!! If you use a branded lolli – I am sure it would still look nice? Just different? Or you could unwrap it and rewrap it in clear cellophane?
aaaaaa çok güzeeeeeelll.
What type of lollipops did you use, I thought of making these for my sister’s baby shower for favors.
Hi Sara, this was a Guest Post.. so to be honest I am not sure! I am sure any “plain” lollipop should work?
That is SO neat!
Oh my, this is just way too cute. And it looks so easy to do. Thanks for sharing how to fold the washcloth to make it look like a cupcake!
I’d love for you to link this and any other cupcake related post you have at the month long Cupcake Link Party!
Cheers,
Tracy
Done! Thank you for the invite
cute
These are cute. DO you think kids would be upset at getting a flannel in a party bag?! xxx
You could get one of those cute kid’s flannels and combined with a lollipop, why not!?
I’ve seen these done with baby vests for a new baby – maybe the lollipop could be for the older sibling while the baby gets the vest?
Absolutely gorgeous! I had a nappy cake made for me when I had LO… this is a great idea! Might have to make some of these as stocking fillers!!!
