That title drums up ideas of aliens and creepy things, doesn’t it?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to give you creepy dreams.
Happy thoughts…pool noodle crafts….and!…
Cupcakes!!
It’s still Spring Cupcake Week here at Hating Martha.
Don’t forget to start linking Thursday night and Friday all your kitchen posts
at your Hosts…stop by here on Thursday night and I will give you a link. Easy Peasy.
It is stinking hot here in the Midwest.
Everything is drooping. Everything is sweating.
Sweat is coming from places I didn’t know could sweat.
Things are drooping I didn’t know could droop.
It is toooo darn hot to make cupcakes.
So…bye, that’s all folks!
Just kidding. I am a girl of my word.
I said cupcake week. So, gosh darn…we are having cupcakes!!
I just had to be…creative. Yep, that’s it.
Truth is…many years ago I remember seeing something similar to this craft.
I don’t know where, it just got filed in my brain for future use. Like today!
Why yes…those are made from a pool noodle. Crazy, huh!!
They look better in person. And from a bit away they could totally fool you!
My love machine went to get a “strawberry cream” cupcake…wa ha!
Anyways, these are sitting on my dining room table looking all sweet and lovely.
And teasing, teasing.
Best of all…they won’t droop or melt.
AND they are easy easy easy!!
It really is that simple.
1. you need a noodle. Of the pool variety, silly!
2. Cut it about 3 inches or so.
3. Cut the sides of the top to give you a cupcakey shape.
4. Cut out a fabric circle as big as the top of the noodles…and add about an inch around.
5. Put glue all over it and stick it to the top.
6. Decorate. I used glue, glitter, and a large bead.
The end.
Now I won’t be fired from cupcake week. You all can relax.
And yes, I know this isn’t the same…but it’s better. Really! These have no calories.
Okay, here’s hoping that nasty weather we are supposed to get goes through soon and I can make
up some REAL cupcakes. I am feeling like Margarita cupcakes! Yum!
