If finishing off a food plate or cake seems daunting try these threaded heart toppers I made for our recent Pumpkin Brunch. They are a whimsical detail for food and would look wonderful in a larger grouping as a cake topper. Plus they can be made in any color/shape that you’d like to see.
Threaded heart cake topper
The materials: Embroidery thread in a color to match your celebration, school glue, water, a mixing bowl and wax paper.
The process:
- Cut your thread to size and dredge in in a small bowl filled with two parts water & one part glue.
- After the thread has been sufficiently soaked lay it out onto a piece of wax paper and mold into desired shape.
- Allow atleast 24 hours to dry.
- Once dried attach a wooden toothpick to the bottom with a dab of glue, let dry for another few hours.
- Stick into cake or food plate to add a pretty little detail to your celebration.
blessings.
