here's the supplies you need...fuzzy socks...red pom pom (that's the cherry)...rubber bands (the smaller the better)...and a cupcake wrapper cut at 4"...i used the cricut easter mini cart...but i know there's a couple of cut files floating around!...check rachie's scrapspot...she's got tons of 'em!...all different sizes!...
with the socks right on top of each other...and the heel pointing up...start at the toe and roll...
just keep rolling...
still rolling...make sure to keep the bottom edge as straight at you can...
finished rolling...place rubber band around...sorta near the bottom...i know i had 2 rubber bands in the supply pics....but i only used one...
pull up the center a bit...just to give it a little bit more shape...
then i just adjust to make more of a "frosting look"...
tuck the pom pom in the center of roll...
you don't have to put anything in the bottom...it all stays in there!...that's another reason why when i'm rolling i keep the bottom straight...so it has a flat bottom...
and there you go!...one cutie patootie cupcake!...
if you want to gift wrap...you can grab a piece of cellophone...gather up and tie with a ribbon...like this little guy...
hope this helps...enjoy!...
These are just adorable. Thinking about craft lifting, Golf league kickoff breakfast and fixing one for each gal. TFS

OMG - I love these cupcake/fuzzy socks. I'm gonna remember this at Christmas! What great stocking stuffer or teacher gifts!!! Thanks for the tutorial and sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a CUTE idea!!
ReplyDeleteI found this post months ago in the spring and saved the idea. I just had to find it again so I could share this link. I am using the idea as part of a playdate invitation (to a kids place where they have to wear socks - get it?). They are turning out soooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYou kill me with your ideas! Thanks for sharing the clever things you come up with!

you're a genius, I LOVE this idea, Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea. While I don't have any cartridges to cut the wrappers, I'm going to find a way to do some of these.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea....hope you don't mind, but I am scrap-lifting this idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
That is just too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSaw this on the Everyday Cricut site and I love it! Great idea! Will be making some for gifts this season!
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute. Awhile ago I saw a site that had these cupcakes but done with a small washcloth. I made 30 of these for my moms family 90th birthday party and everyone loved them. So now I'm making another 35 for our annual class Xmas Brunch next month. I'll use red, green and whit cloths and Xmas print cardstock for the wrapper. Think I'll put a small candy cane in the center. For my mom's I put a little lollipop.
ReplyDeleteYou have a neat site and beautiful crafts. Thanks for sharing.
