DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper

DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper | Club Crafted

DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper | Club CraftedSince my birthday was yesterday, I’m keeping the celebrations going for a little while longer! This seemed like the perfect week to share a few fun party ideas, and this DIY shooting star cake topper seemed like the perfect *topping* on the week. Plus, when I was practicing a new layer cake recipe, it felt naked without something cute sticking out of it. After all, every pretty cake needs a pretty cake topper! 

DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper | Club CraftedThis DIY is the perfect last-minute cake topper solution, and you may even be able to make it with some items you already have in the house. Gotta love when no special supplies are required! 

You can adjust the sizing so that it perfectly fits the size of your cake, and the bling from the star and tinsel really make it shine. It could the *star* of your dessert table!

Too many bad puns? Sorry, I’ll stop ?

DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper | Club CraftedTime: 10 minutes

Supplies:

  • Glittery gold cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Stencil (optional)
  • Tissue paper, variety of colors
  • Gold tinsel 
  • Glue gun
  • Wooden dowel or long straw

Note, I used a long paper straw (like this) because of the length, about 12 inches long. 

Step 1: Use a stencil or a cutting machine to cut two large identical stars out of the glittery gold cardstock. Size depends on the size of the cake, but I recommend 3-4 inches.

Step 2: Cut long strips of various colors of tissue paper, about 1/2-inch wide and 4-6  inches long. 

Step 3: Heat up the glue gun. Glue the strips of tissue and gold tinsel to the backside of one of the stars in a straight line across the shape. 

Step 4: Then glue the wooden dowel over the tissue, add more glue and line up the other star on top. Secure the tips of the stars together with dots of glue and remove any glue strings before using. 

Step 5: Trim the tissue paper and tinsel as needed for the length of the dowel or straw and then insert the base into the top of a cake when you’re ready to display. 

DIY Shooting Star Cake Topper | Club CraftedWhen the light hits the cardstock and gold tinsel, it definitely shines, and the colorful tissue strands really stand out. Best of all, you can reuse this topper! Simply clean off the bottom after use and store until you’re ready to use it again.

What will you celebrate with this shooting star cake topper?

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
