I'm gonna show you how to make acharming cake topper and the first material you'll need is apiece of felt so I have a pink piece %uh felt here and what I'm gonna do to start as just fold part a bit like this and the reason I'mfolding it is because I am going to cut out heart some stuff hold that down just like you used to do in preschool and Kat out half of heart and this will make it sometrickle I never do is perfect fell so I always have to go back in hand froma little bit of so that I like my shake okay so you have a heart shape with thatheart-shaped I'm gonna take some wire missus like basically ornament wired very fend 32gauge you can see it when you can barely seeit because it's something I'm so i cud of ole Inc out maybe like eight inches or so so with this arms industry out a littlebit and was one and I miss going to poke at right for thefelt because it's almost like needle find itgoes alright and and put through a little bit so that Ihave a little tail online and and then just trust those tosecure them together I what I'm doing is essentially making alittle ornament here hanging heart now I'm going to paint itwith glitter paint and the reason I'm using glitter came asopposed to loose glitter is because this is gonna be hanging overcake which is food and i wanna be eating glitter so with glitter paint it is it's notgonna fall off it's not only any glitter anywhere soI'm just sported on a little of dollop here andwith a paintbrush I'm gone to just helped my heart and the reason I chose to work with felt with is because I find that this that any glitter paint it here's the best to felt I guess maybe because it haslike a nappy texture it's not too sure it's notsmooths so that the glitter really gets on thefabric and you don't need to do a million coatssuction see here it's already looking pretty good I just liked it score might move alittle too much sir a little bit on okay I did a little too much cuz I can justbring it on around to the other side so just painting one side of it gettingthe edges so there we go so that's side one I make them double sided and I don'twant to wait for things to dry all the time and because I'm gonna makemultiple zombies I'm just gonna leave this kinda on myhands and do the other side kinda have my hand open so there's less surface area that it'stouching and just paint this other side and thiswill try and not have any of that gray grayishtint to it it'll dry completely pink glitter and then what I like to do first to dry is cut a piece of tape and I like to just tape these hanging off any object you have on your desk he ramsgoing use the paint cap how it's gonna it'll be dry hanging andI cannot both sides or completely dry so you wanna make acouple of those me sex among different sizes different shaped arts whateveryou'd like and then you'll have a variety of hearts like these so I created these they're all dry they have a different texture now youcan see that there's no glitter falling off which is good for with food of and what I'm gonna do is create ahorizontal hanging line basically I'm with my gauge wire I'm just gonna tape down one and leaving about three inches overhanging on the other office and thatthe tape and then calling it out there and snapping okay samina position my heart's on the way Iwant them to hate me and I'll start with this one I wanna do is just slide my heart ornament wire under the horizontal wire and in the position I wanted at thelinks I wanna I'm just gonna fold that wire over that horizontal wire and then twist the wire down the rest love dornin wire connected tothe heart I just need to do me too twists Ste and then I'm gonna take myhorizontal wire I was gonna put my finger in the placelove where I want that her to stay stick that and through my little loophere love what I just wired on and bring itout basically creating I'm not holding that heart in place on horizontal water so now it's notgonna slide back and forth so once you have one you can just keep positioning them atvarying lengths so this one all do me closer up my finger Apple Inc on folds hearts wire over twist FatWire all-round perhaps time on the heart I can't run of all my access afterwards and then keeping that in place taking the and I love be horizontal wire and nodding it through the loop of the heart keeping Matt in place like that and you can go back and scrunch yourwire so that it is just one solid string down to theheart and then when you have have added about
TLC not it'll look something like this: I have one that I have Crieff wired here to show you so you can see I have all my ex showingsupplier that I haven't turned off yet that's okay and from those of so I'veit's just secured onto my part so now to hang this over your cake you will need true paper straws I'm these are ruling it they're notplastic their paper which is really cool and I have that spirally pink on them and what I'm doingis with the T pen this fifty penn I'm just got poked rightthrough the straw like that really close to oneand and do it again on a second sure like that and then just remove the pancannot do not even you can use any sort of pain that you have laying around cell once you have thoseholes I'm going to start with one and here and wire great those holes going in one and street through out the other and then just a wrap the remaining wire around and then all to keep that on theopposite side for reading it through those holes and wrapping so after role playing itand wrapping it around that and was gonna go back and snap of all that excess wire that was hanging off the tops here snapped photos and then you can in surface into your cake and have a reallycharming cake topper
