Easter is pretty much all about the bunny and the celebration of Spring here at our house. So when I found a vintage copy of The Golden Egg Book by Margaret Wise Brown at a yard sale last Summer, for only $1.00, I had a cute attack and knew I wanted to do something with the wonderful illustrations by Leonard Weisgard.
Cupcake toppers were the obvious answer.
Supplies:
Print out of images on cardstock.
White label stickers
Toothpicks

Cut out the images:

Attach a toothpick to the backside of each image, using a white label sticker:

Blam. You just made a cupcake topper:

Army of cuteness:

See what I mean? So easy. I originally started this project with the intention of sharing the cupcake topper file with you. But after considering the legalities and not knowing if I would be violating any copyright issues, I've decided not to share. Which really bums me out. So if anyone can shed some light on this issue, I would love to know about it.
Otherwise, I hope you're inspired and make some adorable cupcake toppers for your Spring or Easter celebration.

ReplyDeleteadorable & easy!! perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable and your post cracked me up: "Blam. You just made a cupcake topper:" and "Army of cuteness:" both made me laugh right out loud.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing -- even the simplest of crafts can be an inspiration. On a day when someone is feeling like they don't have time, this is a great reminder: there is always time to make *something.* (And maybe even something totally cute!)
what a great idea. These are super cute and look easy to make. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is soo cute! Now I need to go buy some vintage children's books. :)
ReplyDeleteOh great idea! Luna's birthday is coming up soon (4 days after mine, you do the math!) I have several of these golden book books and I was planning on cupcakes as a treat for the children in her grade anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable Amy! Your one of the most clever gals I know!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable project!
ReplyDeleteIf often buy vintage books and then use the images straight from them. There have been a few times that I've stopped to scan and print - but I'm usually too impatient. This has definitely inspired me to take my time so that I can keep the images for much longer.
these are really great! now i just need to tackle the cupcakes.. :)
