What you will need:

• Fabric: go through your scrap fabric box and pick out fabrics that are big enough for this project. Try to aim for cotton and avoid delicate fabrics such as silk or lace.

•    Batting: I used scrap fleece or sweater knit for this part. If you do have any, then you will need approximately ¼ yard of batting.

• Heat n’ bond

• Thread

• Hand sewing needle

Cutting:

•   Cupcake top: cut 2 fabric, cut 2 batting

• Cupcake bottom: cut 2 fabric, cut 2 batting

•   Eyes : cut 2 fabric, cut 2 heat n’ bond
