Wedding Cake Card Box

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

While we are talking about centerpieces for weddings, here is another idea. This makes a great card box for on the gift table. If you want it for a centerpiece, just remove the bottom of the box and stack up the boxes as shown with the rose on top.

You need:

• three sizes of paper mache boxes, the ones I bought were white so I did not have to paint them
• a big white silk rose
• crystal glitter
• white craft glue
• flat paintbrush

Try this:

• brush glue to cover the biggest box lid. Sprinkle glitter over glue while wet. Tap off excess and let the box lid dry.
• Repeat on the bottoms of the medium and small boxes
• Glitter the rose, one petal at a time
• Add some dots of glue around the outside edge of the two bottom pieces. Sprinkle glitter on them. Let dry.
• Glue the pieces together so they stack up and look like a wedding cake.

Other ideas:

• Use a rose in a theme color of the wedding. You could even make the decorative dots in that color using another color glitter.
• Turn it into a birthday cake! Google fondant cakes and see what comes up. Here are two that I found.

Turn these in to glitter cakes. Just use glue and glitter in place of fondant and frosting. They will last longer and they have no calories!

Glitter on!
