Make Cupcake Toppers for Your Partner!

If you love to throw parties, you're probably always looking for cute ways to jazz up your table. For this project, I thought it'd be fun to make cupcake toppers specifically for your partner...and of course, you'll receive a fun set of toppers in return!

You will create one set of flat cupcake toppers (not 3D so we can keep our postage down by mailing in a regular envelope) with one dozen toppers. These are profile-based cupcake toppers, so have a look through your partner's bio and see what kinds of things he or she might enjoy. The toppers can be of your own original design or from any of the free downloadable templates floating out there, just as long as it's something nice you've chosen specifically based on your partner's likes and dislikes.

This should be a quick and inexpensive craft using materials you probably have around your home. If you need help on making toppers, check out the easy tutorial over at Instructables. Don't be lazy (!) and use the owl topper pictured above, but if you want them for yourself, it's free to download over at the rock scissor paper blog.

Additional info: Here is a better tutorial in case you'd like more photos.

All the usual disclaimers: Please do not join if you don't plan on following through. If you are delayed for any reason, make sure to clearly communicate with your partner and with me. This swap is open to everyone with a well-rounded profile, but those who seem risky will be deleted. And please--remember to rate your partner promptly when you get your package of goodies.

Have fun!
