Three Cheers Gift Topper

Inspired by this paper gift topper and in need of creating some fun packaging for a birthday present, I put together this "three cheers" gift topper. Like a bow or curly ribbon, this topper is festive and statement making :)



If you know me, you know I love a Martha Stewart craft punch. I've DIY'd a few things here and there, and amassed a nice collection of punch options. Since the creation is for a birthday party, I knew the "cheers" punch was the best bet. And isn't the party hat a great touch?


First step was to cut strips of paper in various lengths. Yellow is one of my favorite colors and it's brightness works well for a party.


I punched each the center of each strip of paper.


Then cut the top half of the strip off so the "cheers" stands alone.


Next, I popped the letters up from the strip so that they were standing up.


I repeated this process on the other strips of paper in different lengths. Next up was to fold them into circles of various sizes and layer them inside of each other, securing with tape and glue.


Three cheers!!




The topper was attached to a gift with glue and secured with ribbon.




Hip, hip, hooray for the finished product and for the weekend :) Hope you all have a great wonderful weekend!
