DIY: Cupcake Toppers



1.
You will need: tape, adhesive of your choice, sucker stick, ribbon, and any paper shapes that you want to use. I used a scalloped punch, a smaller circle punch, and a number "1" punch.

2. Using adhesive, I stuck the "1" onto the small circle and then I stuck those onto the scalloped circle.

3. With a small piece of tape I taped the sucker stick to the back of the scalloped circle.

4. Then I tied a ribbon on the bottom. Easy Peasy. Now go find a cupcake.
