I purchased the wooden dowels, number two, foam glitter balls, paint and yarn/ribbon all at hobby lobby! I’m sure most craft stores like Michaels and Joann’s would have similar products if you don’t have a hobby lobby nearby! :)
HOW TO CREATE YOUR CAKE TOPPER
1. Paint the paper mache two with black acrylic paint, or whatever matches your party colors! It dries super fast and I only had to do one coat.
2. You’ll want to cut two small holes into the bottom and snap a wooden dowel in two to place inside the holes. I had to trim my dowel a bit more than half for what I was looking for.
3. Once that is done, you will take a hot glue gun to secure the glitter foam balls all alone the two!
4. You can add some yarn and ribbon like I did to jazz up the bottom more and it’s all ready for a cake or cupcakes!
