Homemade Wedding Cake Topper

Dollar Tree stores carry a lot of wedding items in early spring to June. Many times you can find a base with lace on it from Wilton. Cut a ball of styrofoam in half and hot glue onto base. Clip artificial flowers short and arrange on the foam base.Make a small bow and let the end hang longer to sort of drape over the side of the base.Maybe net behind the flowers. This would probably cost $20- $30 if store bought. OR you can use a small pringle or crisco lid and glue lace around the side.You can also find leaves,bells arches etc from Wilton at Dollar Trees. LOVE THOSE STORES! Sharon, Ky
