These are super duper easy to make, if you don't have a paper puncher you can you just use a jar lid or glass, trace around it onto paper and carefully cut out with scissors. You could also use double sided tape and cover the back of the cupcake topper as well but I find this method easier and also means you can re-use the bluetack if you want to!
There are so many possibilities with cupcake toppers, you could use photos or make little flags. The sky is the limit!
You will need:
Scrapbooking paper or coloured paper
Scalloped craft paper punch (or see above)
Scissors
Glue stick
Toothpicks
Bluetack
Printer
1) Cut scalloped circles out of scrapbooking paper.
2) Print out circles that fit inside your scalloped circles with your picture or words inside.
3) Carefully cut out circles or use a circle paper puncher for precision.
4) Using a glue stick, glue the paper circles onto the scalloped circles.

5) Turn over the paper and attach a small blob of bluetack to the back.
6) Attach a toothpick to the bluetack.
7) Insert in cupcake.
Love this tutorial, I always thought making these types of toppers would be a mission! Thanks Lydia! :D

Hi Jenna!
DeleteYou are most welcome! I always make these if I run out of time to make some elaborate cupcake toppers or even just as a simple alternative.
Where did you get the pictures to use for the cake toppers?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what are the white "bubbles" on the cupcakes?
Hi Christine,
DeleteI just found the pictures on the Internet. The bubbles are just white round sprinkles, you can usually find them in cake decorating shops.
