Pipe Cleaner and Cupcake Liner Ballerinas

July 28, 2014

My 3 year old and I had a fun little craft date yesterday morning. We made ballerinas out of pipe cleaners and cupcake liners! And everyone was excited about the Elsa and Anna versions since Frozen is a popular movie in our house… and I’m sure it is in yours as well 🙂

These cute little ballerinas are so simple to make a great craft to do with kids of all ages!

You will need:
– Pipe cleaners (also called fuzzy sticks). I got mine at Craftprojectideas.com
– Cupcake liners or Coffee filters
– Watercolor paints
– Yarn for hair

Fold your cupcake liners in half and paint them with your watercolors. Let dry.

Take one pipe cleaner and create a loop at the top for the head. Poke through the middle of your cupcake liner.

Fold the bottom into an upside down heart shape.

Pinch to shape it into ballerina feet.

Cut a piece of another pipe cleaner off and curve ends to make arms.

Twist it around the middle of the ballerina body.

Cut 5-10 strands of yarn. Fold in half and loop through the head like in the picture below.

Pull tight and style! 

Get creative! Use different colors and experiment with different hair styles. Have fun!

    I absolutely love how creative this craft is! Using pipe cleaners and cupcake liners opens up so many fun possibilities, and it reminds me how satisfying small, hands-on projects can be. When I do DIYs like this, I often make sure my workspace is clean and safe by using reliable chemical products, especially for wiping surfaces or removing stubborn residue from glue and paints. It’s amazing how the right supplies make crafting smoother and more enjoyable. Projects like these not only spark creativity but also give me a little sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

    I recently decided to take out car insurance and used the Erie Insurance Quote service in the US. On the website erie insurance quote you need to enter your car details, driving experience, and desired level of coverage. The calculator gives you several options with different deductibles and additional options, such as theft or damage insurance. I especially liked that you can immediately see the possible discounts for safe drivers. I compared all the offers, chose the right policy, and took it out online in a few minutes. This service was simple, transparent, and saved a lot of time, allowing me to make a quick decision.
