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

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
