Tassel Garland Cake Topper DIY

July 11, 2016 · 3 Comments

How To: Tassel Garland Cake TopperIf the dollar section of Target is the last thing you head to before leaving every time you’re there, than I’m totally with you. Seriously you find the best stuff! And one thing I always stock up on, is their fun paper straws. I have them in just about every color because you never know when they’ll come in handy. Not just for drinking, these colorful patterned paper straws are perfect for cake pops, and this festive tassel cake topper DIY!

Banner cake toppers are all the rage, as are tassels. You really can’t escape this trend, and how could you pass up on this adorable decor. It can make a plain store bought cake look fancy, or a traditional 3-tiered wedding cake whimsically unique. Not only is this a super simple DIY cake topper, but it will cost you pennies. And I am all for making parties look pretty and festive, but simple and inexpensive too.

Since my cake decorating style is simple, mostly naked, adorned with fresh flowers or piped buttercream rosettes, this tassel garland topper is my go-to for birthdays. How To: Tassel Garland Cake TopperSo, here’s how to create a fun tassel garland cake topper for your next celebration cake…IMG_1407You’ll Need

  • Paper Straws or Bamboo Cake Skewers
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Tissue Paper, in varying colors 
  • Ruler

How To: Tassel Garland Cake TopperCut the tissue paper into about 4″ x 3″ rectangles, don’t worry if they’re not exact.

Fold in half, and cut strips to fringe cut, leaving about 1/2″ uncut border at the folded end. IMG_1401Open the fringe cut rectangle, so the cut ends are horizontal. Fold rectangle in half towards you, then fold in half another three or four times. Twist the center, then fold and twist to make a loop. Trim tassel ends evenly. IMG_1402Cut about a 30″ piece of twine. Leave a 3″ end of twine and loop and tie tightly around top of straw.

String tassels onto the twine. Twist the tassel loop tightly onto the twine to secure in desired place. Tie the other end of twine onto the straw, leaving a 3″ end. IMG_1406And that’s it! You have a super cute cake topper that you can customize with any colors to fit any celebration! How To: Tassel Garland Cake Topper

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Instagram post 2195361413982519148_20110111 I haven’t really created new holiday stylings in the past few years, mostly because cookies have become precedent, or I’m already working on early new year events & get crafty making gifts. But this year I’m trying to fill more of that free time w. rest....& plenty of scheming for my next travels😉🌿
.....
But you can get more of this Festive Red Boho Styling & other holiday ideas all on the blog archives!! Follow the bio link for plenty of inspiration✨❄️
Instagram post 2193145886518090006_20110111 Words for the weekend, the holiday season & every other day of the year!✨And yes I photocopied & framed this from the latest issue of Magnolia Journal, it pretty much sums up my approach to the holidays this year.....
reusing what I already have,
woods & greens to celebrate
the beauty in Mother Nature’s bareness,
fairy lights that remind me of starry night skies
& this little penguin (who has been my only 
non-necessary purchase) because I love 
penguins & it makes me smile 
every time I’m at my desk working🐧❄️🌿
Instagram post 2192265495171179698_20110111 A little but special throwback to our Gift Wrap & Give Back Holiday Party! We gathered up the gals for some bites, wrapped donated gifts & wrote cards - all for kids who don’t get to celebrate the holidays or receive the kind of gifts most do....this is one of the easiest ways you can get together w. friends this holiday season while doing some REAL good!

Grab your friends, have them each donate a toy/gift for a local community drive or a family in need, then have each person bring a dish & something to wrap with! Get all the ideas for this party on the blog & make your own special “Give Back” holiday party💚
Instagram post 2190101455565098681_20110111 December ..... while most dive into the crazed chaos, I will honor your Slowness🌿I will still celebrate the things I love about the holiday season, but I will do it in a more natural way; an homage to the restorative & simplistic beauty of Mother Nature this time of year.

I will continue to be grateful, showing my kindness & love towards others, even if it’s a simple act of baking cookies or giving away a coat.

I will reflect & cherish all the days before. I will live in each present moment, but also dream & envision new plans for goals I know I’m on my way to achieving, new places to explore, new adventures, new people to meet.

I will continue to learn & grow into an even better version of myself as I celebrate the final days of another year & the beginnings of a new.....✨
