Easy DIY Photo Banner Cake Topper

My husband’s birthday was yesterday! As you may already know, I am not a baker, rather cake buyer and cake topper maker…haha! I bought his favorite cake at our local grocery store (Oreo ice cream cake), and decided to make a really easy DIY photo banner cake topper out of all the pictures from the last year. I love this because it is very simple, anyone can make it, and it is personalized to the honoree. Here is how I made it.

Time: 30 Minutes

Materials:

12-16 Photos (check social media!)
Brochure Paper
Two Paper Straws or Wooden Skewers
Ribbon
Hot Glue and Glue Gun

Instructions:

To get the pictures, I went on Facebook and scrolled through our last year. I saved the photos into a folder. Then, I opened a Word document and inserted each photo. I resized them all to one inch tall and printed them out on brochure paper.

I cut them all out and then trimmed the width, so they were all one inch tall, but varied in width. I arranged them in the order I wanted into two rows. One by one I glued the top to the ribbon so that it hung down like a banner.

I tied the ends to a paper straw. And then trimmed the excess ribbon. You can also use wooden skewers instead of straws and twine or raffia instead of ribbon.
