Preparation

Crafting the Toppers

  • Once your shapes are cut out, use your markers, pens, or glitter to decorate them.
  • Attach your decorated shapes to the wooden skewers or popsicle sticks using craft glue.
  • Let the glue dry thoroughly. This may take 10-30 minutes.

Final Touches

Notes

Create toppers a few days in advance and store them in a dry, cool place. Ensure strong glue is used for durability.
