A Sip & See is a party thrown after you have a baby to visit, drink, and “see” the new baby! I had one with 3 college friends when we all had babies within one month of each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to find an easy way to decorate cupcakes, and created these fun paper toppers on toothpicks! Let’s look at the supply list and get into the tutorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies to Create Custom Cupcake Toppers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

-Scrapbook paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Pen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Scissors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Toothpicks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Hot glue + gun<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Gather Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, put together your supply list. Choose scrapbook paper based on your theme. As I mentioned, our theme was red and blue for our Alma Mater, the University of Mississippi (AKA Ole Miss). The party was also held in Oxford, Mississippi, a fun college town that should be on everyone’s bucket list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a trip? I have written an extensive travel guide<\/a><\/em> to help guide your trip and make sure you get the most out of your visit to Oxford, MS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t already have all the supplies on hand, a quick trip to your local craft store should do the trick. <\/p>\n\n\n

Step 2: Draw, Trace, & Cut Out Your Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose to create collegiate flags and jersey onesies for my custom cupcake toppers. You can choose any design you want to fit your theme! I drew the shapes first on lined paper to help with even spacing and straight tines. I then used these templates to trace on the back of each piece of scrapbook paper. I used 3 different patterns of paper for each design. You can also customize this based on the number of cupcakes, designs and patterns you are using. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Once you have traced all the patterns, cut them out.I left extra room on the left edge of my flags so that I could fold them over the toothpick to make it more secure. You can cut the extra paper triangles off the top and bottom after you create your folds.<\/p>\n\n\n
