DIY WASHI FLAG TOPPERS

Speaking of being MIA for awhile, I got married almost a year ago! I can't believe that time has gone so quickly, and my vision of sharing the day here has gotten quite delayed. Better late than never, right?

First off I wanted to share an easy little DIY that I did to add some pizzaz to my cupcake centerpieces. You guys, this was seriously the easiest thing. So how did I do it? 

What you Need:

• 8" bamboo skewers
• Washi tape in desired colors/widths (the 1/2" - 3/4" widths looked the best I thought)
• Gold glitter - I used Martha Stewart
• Elmer's glue

Instructions:

• Lay a piece of washi tape (sticky-side up) on the table
• Lay skewer in the center of the tape (leave a little bit of skewer above the tape)
• Fold the Washi tape in half so it sticks to itself
• Trim the ends of the tape so it's in the flag shape
• Dip the tip in Elmer's glue
• Dip in the glitter
• Let dry (I found it worked well to buy a piece of styrofoam to stick them into while drying)
