Cupcake toppers can be made for any occasion.
Cupcake toppers turn ordinary cupcakes into edible centerpieces for baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties and holidays. Party centers sell assembled and pre-printed cupcake toppers, but these mass-produced toppers often lack personal touches and can be expensive. If you have a definite color scheme, such as brown and pink, you may have trouble finding them in the stores. You can, however, make your own pink and brown cupcake toppers with a few craft supplies.
Instructions
1. Adjust a drawing compass to draw 2-inch circles.
2. Draw with the drawing compass, on brown card stock. Draw two for each cupcake topper.
3. Adjust your compass to draw 1 1/2-inch circles.
4. Draw 1 1/ on pink card stock with the compass. Draw two for each cupcake topper.
5. Cut out each circle with scissors.
6. Cut around the edge of each card stock circle with scalloping shears to add decorative edging.
7. Write a message or name, on each pink circle, with a brown felt pen. Write the name of the person being honored by the party, "Congratulations" or "Happy Birthday."
8. Glue each pink circle, blank side down, into the center of a brown circle with white glue. Let the glue dry for 10 minutes.
9. Flip half of the circles over so only the brown sides show and apply white glue over them. Press the of the unglued circles onto these.
10. Insert a toothpick halfway into each glued set of circles by poking one end into the glue between the brown circles. Allow the glue to dry for 20 minutes to make sure the toothpicks are held in place.
11. Stick the exposed end of each toothpick into a cupcake to use your toppers.
