CELEBRATION CAKE BANNER
Rate this posting:
Dresden gold foil paper letters are a classic crafting embellishment. String these letters together on shiny metallic gold thread and spell a special message for someone you’re celebrating. Plan out the letters needed in advance and order them from an online source (I get mine from eBay). Use square foam blocks found in the floral department of craft stores to support your banner while you’re working on it. When you’re done, place the banner on top of a cake for an unexpected personal touch.
Supplies
2 wood skewers Two 2-in/5-cm cubed foam blocks Scissors for paper Metallic gold thread Dresden gold foil paper letters Liquid glue
1. Pierce each skewer into a foam block. Space the blocks at the distance you intend to hang your banner on a cake.
2. Using the scissors, cut a length of metallic thread for the strand of letters, allowing extra thread for tying the ends. Lay the thread on your work surface. Arrange the letters on the thread to spell your message and check for spacing to make the words readable.
3. Turn the letters right-side down and apply a minuscule drop of glue to the backs of the letters toward the top. Place the thread in the glue. The glue will dry clear, and if you do not use too much, you won’t even see it on the back of the banner. Allow to dry for about an hour.
4. Tie the ends of each strand to the skewers, being careful to keep the letters from hanging too low. Secure each knot with a tiny drop of liquid glue. Place the skewers in your cake!
