DIY // Lipstick Kiss Cupcake Toppers

February 6, 2014

When valentines day comes around I'm always thinking hearts and x's and o's...you know the usual. Well this year I thought it would be fun to try lipstick kisses. To me they feel just a bit more glamourous. Aren't they just the loveliest with cupcakes?!? Try these out for your next party with the girls! Oh and the best part is that you probably already have all the supplies at home...so go put on your prettiest pinks and reds and make these now!

1. Put on your favorite lipstick and kiss paper, cardstock would work best.

2. Cut out kisses

3. You will use 2 kisses to make 1 topper so you have a front and back. Apply glue and toothpick between kisses and press down.

4. Add to cupcakes!!

Yum! Happy lipstick kisses and cupcake making!!

It had been far too long since I've baked cupcakes so when my mom asked me to make some for a family get together I was more than happy. Any time is a good time for a cupcake but when you're celebrating they're even better with fun toppers. I couldn't resist but to make some that included glitter and sequins...my idea for a fun party.

Supplies: Cardstock, glitter, sequins, glue, pencil, brush, glue gun & toothpicks

1. Draw out or trace your letter from a template (I like to do block letters just so it's easier to cut out)

2. Cut out your letters.

3. Brush glue over letters and sprinkle with glitter.

4. Add a few drops of glue and add sequins.

5. Glue your toothpick to letter with a glue gun.

6. Repeat each step to have both a front and backside of your topper.

Frost cupcakes and spell out a fun message!!

DIY Cupcake Toppers

When I made these ombre cupcakes not too long ago, I wanted to decorate them with something fun and sparkly. I had seen some cupcake toppers like this at the store and while they weren't expensive to buy, they only had them in red and blue, which I didn't need. I love that by making them yourself, it's easy to customize and make as many as you want. So cute and easy!
