How to make a cake topper using Cricut _ EASY Tutorial _ Beginners

Hi , everyone .

Welcome to my channel .

And in today's video , I am going to show you a tutorial on how to make these two cake toppers using your cricket and cricket design .

I actually used to make cake toppers and sell them , but I no longer do that because I have a total different thing that I do in my store , which you could check it out on WW dot R dot com .

Anyway , so here are some pictures of the cake toppers I did because they're so cute before I begin with the tutorial .

So I have my cry design open .

I'm going to insert text .

The word I'm gonna use is one for like a first birthday .

So I'm gonna change the font to October Twilight .

I do have a video .

It's gonna pop up right now on the top right corner and this is where I show where I get all my fonts and such .

I'm just going to make it bigger .

I'm gonna click on advanced .

I'm going to un group two letters , so everything is separate and I'm going to move it around .

So the letters are touching , I'm going to select all the letters and right here , um I am going to click weld , not attached but weld and I'm gonna make two of them .

So one of I'm going to attach because I want to show you what the difference is .

If you attach it versus welding for cake toppers , you have to weld them and us standard cake toppers are like six inches in width and that's all , it's really easy and I'm going to make it .

So the top one is my welded image and then the bottom one is my attached image .

OK ?

I'm gonna click continue .

I'm gonna pick heavy card stock done and from default , I'm gonna change it to more .

OK ?

So I'm using this really pretty glitter card stock .

It is double sided .

It's super sparkly .

I do have the link in the description below where I got it .

I'm just using a regular sticky mat because it is brand new .

Otherwise I would use the stronger grip because it is glitter on each side .

And with glitter car stock , I use a paper tape or painter's tape to tape down the edges .

The paper does not slide while it's being cut before I unload this .

Uh what I like to do with this card stock .

I like to first check if it cut through all the way and it did .

So now I could take it out .

Always tick off the negatives first .

Here's the welded word and here's the attached and what I like about this car stock because it's pretty sturdy .

So when I attach the cake stick , it will stand straight like that , it will not be bending .

Now , this is the attached letters because it wasn't welded .

It cut out all the letters individually .

That's why it's important to weld the letters together and not attach them when making a cake topper .

And that's all .

And how I attach the wooden stick , I just put glue on it and I like to place it either in the middle or on the longest thing .

And here's how I make my double word cake toppers .

The best fonts to use is always cursive that are thick .

I'm going to use the same font , October twilight and with this one , I also un group all the letters .

So the first thing I do , I rearrange the first word and then I do the second one .

If there are any eyes , I move it to the side and I insert a circle shape , gonna resize it and I place it over the eye , just the dot And then I select both of these and I'm going to slice it .

Once I do that , it separates the dot from the eye and I'm gonna delete these extra things .

And now I have my and if I have numbers in the cake toppers .

I like to make them really big and these , I like to make them smaller .

Ok .

Now that I have done that , I'm going to select the top and I do not weld anything yet just in case I want to move stuff around and you need the top word to be attached to the bottom one .

And now this big word , if I just leave it attached to the t it is not going to be sturdy at all .

So what I like to do , I like to bring this up .

So the bee is touching as well .

I'm gonna bring the eye up .

And sometimes what I do like with this be , I don't like how it's too wide .

So this little lock button , I click it and locks it and now I could make it a little taller or wider if I wanted to , but I wanted to make it more narrow and I basically just kind of play around with it .

So it looks nice .

And now for my dot I usually like to make it bigger and you do have to attach to something .

I'm gonna attach it right there .

So every single letter has to be touching anyway .

So once I do all that , I'm going to select all of this and I'm going to weld it and now you can see that the D and the A , they don't have those little holes anymore .

And there's a reason why ?

So I'm going to undo the weld and I'm going to show you why it does that .

I'm going to change this to white these three letters that did that .

So now if I bring the D over see how this little tail it has because it's so close to this hole in the A I guess , um , it will fill it in once it's welded , what you could do , you could move it .

So you could see these two lines are not touching and same with the age , but sometimes because I like them to be super close .

What I do , I insert a circle and I'm going to put it over the D .

So I'm gonna click on the circle and then hold down the shift key and select the D .

That's it .

Just these two right here on the side .

And I'm going to click slice and now I'm going to delete the circle and then see it cuts off the stick and I'm going to delete that .

I know this is like extra work .

So sometimes it's just better to move the letters , but this is how I like it .

And now that's done , select all and I'm going to click weld and now you could see that the little holes in the DNA are still there and this becomes one image .

And I'm going to aside the width to six , how I do the width is the size of the cake .

So usually cakes are like six inches .

99 inches is a pretty standard uh size of a cake .

If it's like a layer , a tiered cake , it's usually the top is usually like six inches , sometimes less .

So I think six inches in width is a good size and , and I'm done and I'm just going to make it and do the same thing that I did with the first one .

So I forgot to , uh , run it through again because it's such a thick card stock .

So I actually ended up taking the whole thing out and then putting it back in and it's actually cutting it over the exact same spot .

And as you could see if you would stand on one stick , it's really sturdy .

It's a flop to the front or back .

Bigger cake toppers like this .

This is where I would put the cake sticks or you could just place one in the middle , right ?

And this is out if you have any questions .
