I made 3 different types depending on what you wanted to use the decor for.  Lets first start with how to make these fun star tealight holders. in my video tutorial.

The first set is all about Memorial Day and 4th of July, everything patriotic!!  Using colors of red, white, and blue makes this a perfect outdoor ideas.  Add in the little star tealights from the Dollar Tree with the cut up flag banners and you are set for an amazing party!!

Paired with the white embossed paper from DCWV and red start stuck paper from Rinea it makes this scream patriotic!

Not in the mood for a true red, white and blue.  Try this elegant copper and navy version.  Using the Indigo Kraft & Rose Gold stack from DCWV paired with copper foiled paper make this a true elegant touch to any party.

Perfect for that party that is around memorial day with a touch of elegant chic.  All the layers are held together with the Xyron Mega runner, this amazing adhesive kept these stars together even after being blown off my table while taking pictures.  As it gets dark the tealights start to reflect on the copper in the navy paper and also the copper foiled paper to make a beautiful glow.

What about graduation and weddings?  These are an easy and beautiful decor idea for an outdoor party.  Black and white paper with a touch of metallic make any table come to life!  Add in your school or wedding colors and you have personalized decor that everyone will love!

Graduation Faux Cake Decor **Makin's Clay & Creative Embellishments & Eyelet Outlet & Canvas Corp & Tattered Angels & Beacon**

My husband is graduating this May with his Master's Degree and we are hosting a party to celebrate.  So of course I wanted to help make some fun and unique decorations to help celebrate this amazing event!!  I have already created the Dessert Stand for these amazing cookies my friend made, and now I want a centerpiece for the food table as a fun decor item.

I started out making the fun Mortarboard for the topper our of Makin’s Clay® in black using the Makin’s Clay® Texture Sheet C in weave and the Makin’s Clay® Standard tools.   I then used some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to color the sting for the tassel of the hat.  Here is a video tutorial on how I made this fun little hat for the top of the cake.

I then set out to create all the embellishments and assembling/painting/adding Canvas Corp paper to the base of the cake with boxes, the little paper mortarboard for the sides from EZ Laser Designs, Makin’s Clay® ropes in black for the piping along the edges, the white Makin’s Clay® doily with the Makin’s Clay® Texture Sheet Set C in Lace, little Makin’s Clay® rolled balls in white for the corners, and painting the Creative Embellishments chipboard numbers.  Here is a video tutorial on how I created all the steps above.

The last step is to combine all the parts together.  Check out my video tutorial below!!

I got to use some amazing products for this little centerpiece.  All are shown below.

My little faux cake looks amazing as the centerpiece for our food table!!

Here are some other pics of the faux cake.
