Easy Coffee Filter Cupcake Craft

Start by flattening out one white coffee filter.

Then use a crayon to color the entire filter bright pink.

Making a Coffee Filter Cupcake

Cut about 1/3 of the filter off using child-safe scissors. Make a scalloped edge to resemble the cupcake “frosting”.

Now glue the “cupcake top” in the center of a piece of construction paper. Try to place it towards the top to leave room for the cake bottom.

Now use a brown crayon to draw an inverted triangle to form the cake. Then color it in. (Afterward, I went over the brown with a dark brown colored pencil – just to make it look more like a browned cake.)

Then use a purple colored pencil to draw a few sprinkles on top of the cupcake!
