Frog, Lamb, and Bird Spring Crochet Cups

If you loved my baby chick and hatching chick crochet cups, you might like to add these other spring designs to the set! Using the same basic pattern, make a Frog, Lamb, and little Blue Bird.

What will you put in your crochet cups? I stuffed mine with fun dip candy, lollipops, stickers, fun size stickers, skittles, and more!

If you don’t like the back of the safety eyes poking through you can melt them. I haven’t personally tried this technique but HERE is the tutorial for Melting Safety Eyes.
