Inspired by Anthropologie’s sparkly star cupcake toppers, I set out to make a few different kinds of my own. I had planned on using sparkly paper but I decided against it. It was shedding way too much!

Supplies needed: cardstock paper, star punch, toothpick, pens

To make these just punch out some stars and tape them to the back of toothpicks. I made the flags at the last minute and used a white gel pen to write on them, and for the gold I used a glue pen and gold embossing powder before I hit it with a heating tool. I’ll share a tutorial on that very soon!

All of the paper I used is from Paper Source (I actually used tiny business card-sized papers) and the star punch is from Michael’s.
