The second kit I treated myself to; by Paper-and-String a sew your own Felt Cupcakes kit. I found this on a trip to John Lewis - London at £15.00.
I really love the package design for this kit. A simple, sturdy, reusable plastic box. Colourful informative stickers on the top and bottom.
A basic sewing kit of scissors, needle, pins & threads are required when you come to make up your felt goods. You may also want a pair of paper scissors, fabric pen / chalk handy. This is a kit which requires you to cut out your own pieces. I managed to make a total of 8 cupcakes from the supplied materials! OK... so I used my own ribbon to unify the tops of the cupcakes - I had intended to make some sort of cupcake bunting. (My kit had missing key-rings. Just my luck! ¬_¬
Wool Felt mix was lovely and soft. Nice selection of ribbons & buttons. A good set of instructions and patterns. Even after stuffing my cupcakes, I still have stuffing left.
Here are my fruits of labour! ^_^
Since then, I have also made a supplies purchase from the paper-and-string website.
