Paper Plate Cupcake House

If you can dream it, you can build it – with a few paper plates and some creative spark from Glued To My Crafts!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – cut off a small section on the bottom of your paper plate to make the cupcake house sit/lay flat.
  • Discard the small piece you just cut off.
  • Go ahead and now paint the paper plate piece completely.. I went with brown but you can use whatever paint color you like.
  • When done painting, set it aside till later.
  • Now print out the FREE cupcake house template listed above in the supply list.
  • Using scissors, trim out each section in the printable you just printed. You will have two windows, a door and the frosting rooftop.
  • Go ahead and color in ALL your pieces with your choice of coloring material.
  • Add lines to the windows to make them more defined.
  • Set aside all the cutouts for a second.
  • Next grab your craft foam/cardstock and scissors.
  • Cut out a large circular “cherry” to be placed on top of your house.
  • Now it’s time to start assembling your Valentine’s Day Cupcake House.
  • Go ahead and glue/staple all your paper embellishments in place on the painted paper plate to make it look like a house.
  • Now add anything else you like for that custom look {like some heart shaped stickers or glitter!} before displaying proudly!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us on your social media sites!
  • BTW – our gorgeous Popsicle Stick Valentine Gingerbread House tutorial is another great one to BUILD today!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
