Making a birthday cake topper with a Cricut is an easy way to add a personal touch to any special occasion. The best part is that it doesn’t take much time or effort and can be done in the comfort of your own home!
The first step is to pick out the materials you will need. The most important thing you need is the Cricut machine itself.
You should also have cardstock, transfer tape, scissors, and some type of adhesive.
Once you have gathered your supplies, you can start designing your cake topper. It’s important to pick out the design before you start cutting. Once you have chosen your design, simply upload it into the Cricut Design Space and select the size for the cake topper.
Now it’s time for the fun part – cutting! Place your cardstock onto the mat and adjust it so that it fits into the designated area. Make sure that you are using a strong grip mat so that everything stays in place as you cut.
Next, load your material into the machine so that it can start cutting out your design. You will want to make sure that everything is lined up correctly before starting and that all of your settings are correct according to your material type and design size. Once everything is set up correctly, press go and let the machine do its work!
Afterwards, remove all of the pieces from your mat. Carefully peel away any pieces of paper left over from cutting and discard them. Now you are ready to begin assembly!
To assemble, start by applying transfer tape onto each piece. This will help keep all of your pieces in place as you adhere them together. Once all of your pieces are covered with transfer tape, place them onto a clean surface so that they can be arranged in order according to your design. Then use an adhesive such as glue or hot glue gun on each piece one by one until they are all attached together forming one complete cake topper!
Finally, apply any decorations such as ribbons or glitter for an extra special touch if desired.
Conclusion:
Making a birthday cake topper with a Cricut is an easy way to add some personal flair without too much effort or time spent in preparation. By gathering supplies such as cardstock, transfer tape, scissors and adhesive; designing a unique shape; loading material into the machine; assembling pieces together; and adding decorations if desired – anyone can make their own custom birthday cake topper with ease!
