My crafty side is really showing lately. I love putting personal touches on special moments. That being said, I tried something, full-well knowing it could fail.
I looked around for months for a cake topper. I wanted something with peacock feathers, obvi. The only thingsI found that I liked were on Etsy and upwards of $200. Then I found something more reasonably priced, but the first thought that came to mind was, “I can totally make that.”
So I set out to do just that.
I started with a square base of Styrofoam.
I traced a circular shape onto the surface and cut it into a circle. This was somewhat of a challenge.
Once the ribbons were aligned I then hot glued that onto the Styrofoam base.
As you can see I added feathers (which I promise in real life they show up purple, not red) to prevent the white Styrofoam from showing.
And in these professional pictures you can tell the feathers are purple!
