Here are my essential tools for making a cake topper which can also be found on this link.

• Die Cut machine - Cricut - I use this to save myself the hassle and inaccuracy of using a scissors or working free hand. (There are other types of machines available too like a silhouette etc). A Cricut machine comes with some essential tools like a mat and a fine point blade which are more than adequate for making cake toppers.

• Cricut Mat - This is used with the machine and usually comes with it.

• Brayer - This is my favorite tool. I use it to stick my paper to my mat properly.

• Card stock - There are many types of cardstock that can be used for cake toppers, the general rule is that the thicker it is the better. For example a 300gms glitter card cardstock will be perfect in making a 2D cake topper without the need for layering. To make a good range of cake toppers, you will need a good mix of different colors plain paper as well as glitter card cake toppers.

• Glue - It is important to work with non water based glue like the Beacon Silicon 3 in 1 glue or Glitter art glue

• Hot glue gun

• Glue sticks

• Wooden skewer or Acrylic sticks to attach to the cake topper.

These are the basic essentials of making a cake topper. You will still need to learn quite a few things like the basics of design space and how to design etc.
