You can work with your imagination. Cover top and bottom with yarn. Work around with dc stich until 8,5 cm. 


Then you work bldc around to make a body. Work around till 1,5 cm height for top and 2 cm for bottom. 


I used plastic stiker to cover the inside bottom. Cut circle and place it. Looks great.  Isn't it.


You can add buttons or anything you have in your stash to make this cakes looks yummy. I have strawberry buttons so I make a strawberry short cakes. How about you?? Chocolate, Vanilla or rainbow cakes ?? Wait for you version of yummy cakes ;D.

Recycle Cones for your ribbon

Do you love play with ribbons. I love to play with them. Sometimes I sew the ribbon and pull the thread to make a new style of ribbon ( ruffled them ). You can buy ruffled ribbons at store but it's cheaper if you make it by yourself. 


The problem is how to put them after you sew them, cause the original roll cant used anymore. Finally, I decided used recycle cones ( I made from my yarn cone ). I hope it could inspire you how to handle a new style ribbon. You can use can or plastic bottle too. But you must put something heavier in it. To make it steady. 


Da..da..da... your crafting room will look better and tidy with this colourful ribbon.
