Tutorial: Cupcake Topper by Mandie Pierce!

By Mandie Pierce

Hi guys!  I'm going to show you how to make this super cute cupcake topper.  But, you could skip the toothpick & cupcake altogether and make a fun embellishment for a card or layout doing the same thing!

Step One: Gather your supplies:
12x12 pattern paper
Border Punch
Elle's Studio Handmade Layers Circle Tags (smaller ones)
Elle's Studio Handmade Layers Birthday Pennants
Glue Dots
Pop Dots
Scoring Board/ Bone Folder

Step Two: Cut 2  1.5" x 12" strips of pattern paper

Step Three: Trim the edges with the border punch.

Step Four: Use a scoring board to make creases in between each curve.  If you don't have a scoring board, simply accordian fold at each curve and flatten with a bone folder. 

Step Five: Accordian Fold Your Pattern Paper  (you can skip this step if you didn't use the scoring board.)

Step Six: Attach the pattern paper to each other on one end so they make a 1.5" x 24" strip.

Step Seven: Fold the paper into a cricle, and glue dot the two ends together...  (this is the difficult part.  If it doesn't do it the first time, don't give it up.) 

Step Eight: Use pop dot to adhere a circle on the front and back of the flower.  (I found it holds better this way!)

Step Nine: Crinkle your banner and insert a stick pin.  Attach to your flower.

Step Ten: Use a glue dot or 2 to attach a toothpick to the flower.  Stick in cupcake & enjoy it's cuteness!  :)
