How a Boy and a Cat Cooked a Cake Box from Felt

Today we are going to cook a cake! You can use it as a photo prop or a wonderful gift box.
So, the recipe: take one boy, one cat, some materials and a good mood :)
Cut out two circles from cardboard, one large, one slightly smaller (the difference is 2 cm in diameter) — for the top and bottom of the cake.
Also cut two strips, the length equal to the perimeter of the circle — for the side. The ribs of the cardboard shold go vertically to easier bend the side.

Use a glue gun to attach the circles and the tops. One blank is the box, another blank with 'petals' is the lid — test so that the box could inserted into the lid.

Now decorate :)

Cut out a felt strip the size of the side + 1.5 cm. Glue.

The edges are slightly cut and glued, they hide the cardboard edge.

Cut out a felt circle equal to the diameter of the upper part and is attached to the cake.

Similarly, cut out the parts for the inside parts of the cake.


To design the bottom — the box itself — cut a rectangle from thin batting equal to the perimeter of the circle in length and to two heights of the cake. The batting should completely cover the side.

Apply fabric the same way.

Glue the side joint, tuck one edge. Glue the edge from bask and right sides.

Cut out circles out of cardboard and padding, size slightly smaller then the box bottom — make a soft sandwitch. Tuck the edge of the cloth and glue the circles together, then glue the blank to the bottom.

That's what you get :)

Start to decorate the cake :)
Cut a very long tape from mesh of about 4 cm, sew it with a tightening stitch and attach with the glue gun to the edge of the cake :)

Use a beautiful tape.

Now some fruits and flowers cut, sewn and glued from felt:


Hard to resist tasting:)

And apply all this beauty to the top!

Finally, all is glued with the gun.

And now fill the cake box with candies, presents or whatever )))

Thank you for attention!
