  Step 1

  Wash and dry a fruit cup.Then add the stuffing.(enough so it'll make a nice cupcake top shape)

• 

  Step 2

  Sew a button on the fabric where the middle of your pincushion will be..(I actually forgot to sew it on, so I had to glue it with a glue gun afterwards).
  
  With one hand, hold the fabric down and sew around the rim of the plastic cup securely.You might need to sew around a few times to make sure it holds.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut the fabric as close as you can to the rim.

• 

  Step 4

  To make it look nicer, cut a piece of felt to fit around the plastic cup and glue around the stitching and around the cup.

• 

  Step 5

  With your glue gun, add some glue onto the bottom of the baking cup and gently place the cupcake on it.

• 

  Step 6

  Take a large muffin pan and place the cupcake in one of the holes.Carefully add some more glue around the crinkle part of the baking cup and press down on the pincushion.

• 

  Step 7

  Take it out, add some pins and enjoy!

Interesting idea using fruit cups, I've only ever seen them stitched onto silicone cake cases before
