How to Make Your Own Wire Cake Topper
- 1). Cut several pieces of wire, each piece about 1 foot long. The wires may need to be slightly longer or shorter, depending on the size of your cake. Experiment with different lengths.
- 2). Place one wire through the hole of a crystal. Slip enough crystals on to cover 1 inch of the wire.
- 3). Push the crystals to near the end of the wire. Use the pliers to bend the end of the wire to the longer end.
- 4). Wrap the short end of the wire around the longer end and cut off any excess wire.
- 5). Wrap the wire around a circular object to give it a spiral, bouncy look. For a wide spiral, use a glass. For a tight spiral, use a pencil.
- 6). Repeat previous steps, making 10 to 15 wires. Gather the bottoms of the wires and twist them together. It should look like a bouquet of wired crystals.
- 7). Spread out wires to create a crystal tree topper for your wedding cake.
