Graduation Cake Topper

Do you have a graduate this year and maybe hosting a Graduation Party? If so, I have an idea for you!

Hi there! It’s Judy here with a fun and easy DIY project created for Clear Scraps.

This is a cake topper with a graduation theme using the Mini Shaker Graduation Hat.

I started by assembling the shaker.

The shaker includes 1-chip back, 3 chip forms, 1 acrylic divider.

 

Deciding to go with a gold and black color scheme, I painted the back piece gold.

Using a black sparkle pen I then added color to the 3 chip forms.

Glue to chip forms together.

Adhere to the back

Remove the protective film from one side of the acrylic piece and adhere to the 3rd chip form.

This will be the top of the shaker.

Add shaker elements to the back piece. I used silver chunky star glitter.

Cut 4 circles out of heavyweight glitter card stock.

2 black pieces measuring approximately 6 1/2 inches.

1 gold circle measuring 6 inches.

A black piece at 5 inches.

Adhere 3 of the circles together with foam tape alternating a large black circle, gold, black. The last large black piece is adhered to the backside fro a finished look.
