It’s simply TOO sweet! I’m seriously squealing inside! We are taking simple red heart shaped paper plates and making Valentine’s Day themed cupcake houses today!

So without further ado, keep scrolling to see how I created my Paper Plate Cupcake House craft and snag the FREE template so you can make one with your child today, as well! #gluedtomycrafts

I told you guys the other day that I’m not quite done sharing those kid craft ideas using some simple HEART SHAPED PAPER PLATES I picked up at Michaels recently. When we fall in love with a craft supply, we don’t like the ideas to run out!

So on that note, the craftiness on Glued To My Crafts MUST continue on this Valentine’s Day season and today we are turning those inexpensive red heart pieces into customizable cupcake houses! Very similar to our Valentine Fairy Houses but with a SWEETER twist!

For this DIY all you need is the FREE HOUSE TEMPLATE below to get started. From there, you just print, color in and assemble your own custom piece – however you like!

Do you want a purple frosting roof? Maybe pink? Sprinkles galore or maybe a more neutral look? Go for it! No real rules, other than have fun with it! It’s so easy, so why delay the fun?! Find all the details below!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Cupcake House Supplies:

• 7″ x 7″ Red Heart Shaped Paper Plate {I found mine at Michaels}
• FREE Cupcake House Printable
• White Cardstock {affiliate link}
• Color Printer
• Craft Scissors
• Crayons, Markers or Colored Pencils
• School Glue
• Hand-Held Stapler
• Colored Cardstock or Glitter Craft Foam
• optional – Valentine candy stickers, glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

• First things first – cut off a small section on the bottom of your heart shaped paper plate to make the cupcake house sit/lay flat. Discard the small piece you just cut off.
• Now download and print the FREE cupcake house template above.
• Print out the file in color on a simple sheet of white cardstock. You only need to print one per craft.
• 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.
• 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 heart shaped 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!
