Cupcake Toppers

Today's project is so easy, it's ridonkulous. Let's be honest, I'm not sure it's even worth posting about. But it's so cute, I can't help myself.

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.

  1. These 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.

    Thanks 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!)

  4. Oh 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. :)

  6. What an adorable project!

    If 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.
