HOW TO MAKE NEW YEAR’S EVE DIY CUPCAKE TOPPERS

Supplies you will need:

cupcakes
star cupcake topper printable
black cardstock paper
tan paper straws
gold metallic marker
gold ink pad
small number stamps (1 and 6)
gold tinsel
scissors
tape

Directions:

1. Start by printing off the star cupcake topper printable onto black cardstock paper. Cut out the stars.

2. Use your number stamps and gold ink pad to stamp the number 16 onto your black stars. Then use your gold metallic marker to draw dots and/or lines along the edge of your stars.

3. Cut your paper straws in half. Attach your straws to the back of your stars with a piece of tape.

4. Cut off about five strands of your gold tinsel. Tie them in a knot around your paper straw right underneath your star. Use your scissors to carefully curl the ends of the tinsel.

We placed our cupcakes inside some gold foil cupcake liners
to make them extra festive and sprinkled them with gold sugar sprinkles. Then we placed our cheerful New Year’s Eve DIY Cupcake Toppers down into our cupcakes.
