This post contains affiliate links. I would never recommend anything I don’t personally use and love. Shopping my affiliate links is a great way to support The Useless Crafter. Thank you! ❤️
What is it? It’s another milestone shaker! This time for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I’m missing a true mommy moment of documenting her first day of kindergarten. So of course what’s the next best thing? Making her home desk as EXTRA AF. One week left!!! Any suggestions? 😂🤣🥰
Now you don’t have to create your own shaker/slider template, I have one for you!!!! The complete cake topper shaker & slider pack is here to purchase and download. You will be able to customize this base SVG pack and your own embellishments and creativity to make and infinite number of cake topper shaker and slider designs! Check out this base SVG pack HERE.
Tips/pointers:
1. The perler bead that is essential to the slider and swivel. It is glued to a piece of cardstock that will glide or twist. Then on top of the perler bead in this example is the apple that swirls and the horse that glides.
2. The acetate paper is actually a sheet protector from Avery. Check out my list on Amazon. My shop list is categorized by projects - look under Cake Topper Materials.
3. Check out that precision tip from Bearly Arts. It’s amazing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️.
4. Math and Colts - htv!!!! It took 3 seconds of heat from the mini. I love using htv when cutting something small. And this case, I would have hated to try to keep track of all of those tiny letters. Instead just weed and iron! 😍
5. From back to front (order of assembly): * Background * Back of the shaker * One or Two foam layers * Acetate paper * Back of the slider * Top of the slider
