How to Design Wedding Cake Toppers

Having a unique wedding cake topper can add a special spark to your wedding day. You can be very creative and design your own special wedding cake topper that no one else will ever have. It is very easy to do and with some practice you can achieve the look you desire.

Things you will need:

• Base or Stand


• Figurines


• 1/4 yard of white satin/ or the fabric of your choice


• Needle


• Thread


• Glue


• Paper


• Pen

1. Know the exact design you want to create. You can use magazines or online pictures to give you different ideas on how you want your cake topper to look. Once you have found the perfect design you will need to get a piece of paper and pen and sketch the design out. Make sure your sketch has all the details on how you want your topper to look when it is finished.


2. On a piece of paper, list the materials that you will need. Make sure you put down your base or stand. These materials could include any figurines, fabric, dolls and glue. Your local craft store should have all the supplies that you are in need of.


3. Start putting the base together. Read the instructions that were provided with the base. You may need to glue your figurines to the base first depending on what base or stand that you have chosen to use.


4. Use fabric to customize the bridge figurine. You can wrap a small piece of fabric around the figurine to create a top. You will need a larger piece of fabric and wrap it around the waist to make a skirt for the bride. Glue the fabric to the bride when you achieve the exact look that you desire. You may also need to get your needle and thread and stitch some of the fabric pieces together. Once you have completed the bridge figurine you can work on the groom figurine. Draw the pattern of clothing on the piece of fabric that you decide to use for the groom. Once you have achieved the correct look you will need to cut out the fabric and sew it around the figurine. This will ensure the groom is covered on his front and his back side.


5. Add other details. If you wanted other details to your bride and groom then this is the time to add them. Remember to make your cake topper as unique as the bride and groom are.


6. Let your cake topper dry. This will probably be best if you stand your cake topper up first. Once it is dried the cake topper is ready to be placed on the cake at the wedding reception.
