Here's what you'll need to make the Fairy birthday party cake topper
- Fairy cake topper svg cut file
- Cricut machine
- Cricut machine mats
- Paper crafting glue

- Cake Pop stick
- 12×12 Cardstock Shop

How to upload the fairy cake topper into Cricut Design Space
Start this project by uploading the cut file. The filename is SVG-FairyCakeTopper.svg
Click on Upload which is on the left side of the screen. Then click Upload Image. You can either click the browse button or drag and drop the cut file into the Cricut Design Space window.
Click upload. Then select the design so that the green box is around it and click Add to Canvas.
How to prepare the Fairy birthday party cake topper
First, you’ll put the Fairy birthday party cake topper on the Cricut Design space canvas. Then click on the text tool to add the birthday kid’s name and age. The font I used is Pinky Latte Script for the name. You can make a second layer using the offset tool. Put the name on the banner and the age in the middle of the cake topper.
Next, double check the size of the cake topper and press “make it” when you’re ready to start cutting with your Cricut machine.
This project needs 10 different colors of cardstock. After picking the right setting for your cardstock, cut out all the different layers. If you’re using glitter cardstock or foil board, you might need to search for the right setting under ‘browse all materials’.
Assemble your Fairy birthday party cake topper
To begin assembling your cake topper, start by putting all the pieces together without glue to make sure everything looks good. Then, use foam strips to stick the first two layers together.
Next, put the small pieces like the fairy wand together first so they don’t get lost. After that, you can make the fairy and add the wand to her hand with glue.
Then assemble the tree and banner. Don’t forget about the little mushroom on the side.
To finish off your Fairy birthday party cake topper, add a paper cake pop stick to the back with hot glue.
