DIY Rae Dunn Mug Fake Whipped Cream Topper

[@stacyamazedbylife7508]

I could see making 12 of these, one for each month that represents the holiday in that month or change in season. Adorable ideas so glad you shared it

[@TheDIYCottage]

That's such a good idea!!

[@vickinoeske1711]

If you use 1/2 of a small Styrofoam ball as the center your whipped cream will have more height and stability💖 Love the peppermint.

[@elisapetras8136]

If you put a small ball of aluminum foil inside, you use a lot less spackle

[@tamiechiadenny-frank7899]

Question please. Where would I be putting this ball,into the mixture or the container itself?

[@Heathalessyl]

@@tamiechiadenny-frank7899 I think Elisa meant in place of the first initial dollop of spackle she uses. So when she makes the actual topper, she puts a big dollop of spackle in the center, and then does the actual design around that. Elisa's saying if you put a small ball of aluminum foil in the center and then make the topper around that, you don't have to waste the spackle with a giant dollop in the center, because it uses the aluminum ball for its structure.

[@elisapetras8136]

@@Heathalessyl thank you! Yes. This is what I meant. You can use a painted cardboard circle that you cut out and hot glue a wad of aluminum foil in the center.

[@kimyvettabrown358]

Yes I saw A foam ball

[@craft1305]

@@kimyvettabrown358 foam balls are expensive believe it or not. :)

Ok... this is genius! I will def try this as I sell coffee mugs on etsy and need like to style my mugs for the photos!!! I've never used real whipped cream becuase it would be too stressful trying to get the right shot before it melts lol. So this is perfect! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDIYCottage]

That is amazing!! I've struggled with the rapid whipped cream melt myself! I'd love to see how yours turn out if you end up making them 😁

[@marikiemarie7622]

I use a foam ball cut in half. Makes it less heavy and make a better shape. Joint compound still settles on itself as it says and will appear a little flat

[@btab8101]

These would make cute candle toppers

[@wendellmonster6179]

That is adorable and I can’t help but notice your dog in the background how sweet just sitting there in his bed Watching you watching you what a beautiful dog have a great day !😊

[@TheDIYCottage]

Hahaha my pups are very patient with their diy crazy dog mom 😂

[@mainecoonmomma9494]

I love making these. I made a ton of them around Christmas for other people. Thanks for sharing.

[@amyeethomas2495]

Can I ask where you bought your spackle? I found some at the dollar tree but they were tiny like 4oz . not even enough to make one let alone a bunch.

[@dma8807]

Thank you for sharing your instructional and inspirational video for your darling faux whipped cream mug toppers! Great job!

[@jade8568_VR]

Very nice! When I make mine, I place a piece of foam in the center, then pipe the spackle over it just to take up room so you don't use up so much of the spackle♡♡

[@kawaikuailani7018]

Ive been looking for a DIY video like this for so long, thank you!!

[@itynotbity]

Super cute! Such an easy craft/diy that looks realistic and SO yummy! Tfs!

[@tx_ginger0918]

Great job explaining how to do this project. Can’t wait to see more!

[@clarisadiaz771]

Making a fake hot coco and cookie display for Santa this year as part of my Christmas decor. This is a good idea because I can still use my coffee mug after I’m done using it for decor ☺️

[@Tha1r1ta]

Ok, so I didn’t know how much I wanted/needed this until I saw it lol ❤️❤️❤️!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@alejandramendez6993]

You don’t need to seal them with anything? I’m new at this. Trying it out soon. 😁

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Very cute idea- Many are setting up cocoa or coffee bars at home. Also would be cute for a party decoration at the cocoa bar.

[@oscar-gaming597]

I just found the light weight spackling last week and can’t stop making toppers. ;) Funny I see this now. It’s really awesome to work with.

[@katrinadunlap1012]

Where did u buy the lightweight spackle from

[@1027Paula]

Can you tell me how long it takes to harden?

[@michellelucas7985]

By just looking at the thumbnail, I actually thought these were real. Very creative! Must try. Thanks for sharing. Great for using for a cocoa and coffee bar display. Thanks for sharing.❤☕❤

[@sandymcquestion3824]

Great explanation! I'm going to try these!

[@yadiragarcia9351]

Omg!!!! I've watched soooo many vodeos, and this is by far, my favorite!! Love it

[@Aquamarine325]

Another video suggested buying fake sprinkles on Amazon. A punch and some craft foam sounds perfect to me!!!

[@karenvanloo1898]

Love the music in your video! I'm going to make these mug toppers, excellent video!!!

[@TheCozyKayeHaven]

Yeah this is a game changer 👍🏼 thank you for sharing queen!

[@bmrpink59]

Thanks for the diy video. Which icing tip do you suggest to make bubbles? I plan to make toppers for a cauldron mugs.

[@rebeccacopln5755]

Just came across your channel... can’t wait to make these and fill the mug with hot coco mix for a pretty and inexpensive Christmas gift

[@marleny655]

Can you use any brand of lightweight sparkle ? Thanks love the idea, I’m gonna try it for phone case decoration

[@debrajudd9850]

You can use artificial sprinkles from etsy too! They make them in ALL seasons! I love this idea😍😍

[@elizabethviscusi923]

Love, Love, Love this video! Was wondering where you came up with this idea? Great Job! Thanks so much for sharing, and am looking forward to your future videos. Maybe you could incorporate gingerbread men somehow? Thanks Again, and God Bless You & Yours...

[@clintbonita]

That was awesome! Can you do it on a screw on top?

[@evelynmccagg9579]

So glad your back, can't wait to try this!! ❤ TY 😍

How great! I am definitely trying it! How long does it take to dry?

[@janetshaffer423]

This is just adorable!

[@tawniaperez2830]

So cute I will definitely give it a try thank you for sharing.

[@letscelebrateyou]

Love your tutorial! I wanted to ask if it cracked at all after it dried?

[@desiraetira1980]

Yes! I wonder the same thing! How brittle is it after it dries?

[@cottoncandycottagecrafts]

Thank you so much! I was already planning on trying these but there were elements you added I would have never figured out on my own.

[@jeffreywoodside3922]

Question- if you put the spackling whipped cream directly on a tumbler lid, can a hot drink be in the cup without hurting the integrity of the spackling? I want to make some hot cocoa tumblers for my grandkids but I don’t know if the hot drink will melt the spackling. If so, then I just need to tell them to keep the lid off when drinking anything hot.

[@sandrarivera8374]

Those r so freaking cute! I'm making one for my cocoa bar! Love it💓

[@mandytohphotography3828]

Hi, thanks for sharing this tips. Can i ask, when the sparkle is dried, does it still look like whipped cream?

[@ruthmccormack6459]

Super cute. Will have to try some for next year. Did you glue the topper onto the mug or just leave it sit on top?

[@RoGirl13]

These are Amazing! Can Real sprinkles be used? Or what other toppings can be made?

[@marihelson9313]

So cute!! Love this idea.. thank you!!

[@sunshinegirl311]

This is rlly cute! Are you able to clean the bottom in case some coffee gets on?

[@monikapayne-morgan7001]

Super duper cute!

[@sigridsattler8228]

Love this! You explained it SO well! Question: what kind of glitter did you use? It seem very fine!

[@brandiesarbacker1206]

I love this video. I made the whipped topping but it cracked in half upon drying. Any idea why?

[@Mikaylabrookie]

Is there a way to make the bottom waterproof or resistant enough to actually use on a mug with a straw hole? Other than the tumbler lids?

[@aprilldavis5763]

Thanks! That was amazing... I'm going to use it for my Christmas hot chocolate station

[@sophcraftsco]

Is spackle the same as polyfilla? I’m in the uk😅

[@joanneyates2790]

I've just discovered these and I was wondering the same thing did you ever find out if its the same ?😊

[@jaymehamilton4580]

Awesome, love love love this, so simple but such a bang in the end. Looks fabulous

[@natalieb9767]

In case anyone would wonder about dry times: I made a small version of these to use as decorations (they’d probably top a shot glass) and they’re still drying a day and a half later. The tops are try, but the bottoms aren’t so I flipped them upside down to help that out. I live in a really humid place and it’s been rainy off and on for the past few days. So for most a day and a half would probably totally dry these, but if you’re in a really humid climate, don’t freak out if they’re still drying 2 days in.

[@irishcosmogirlirish3527]

Where did you find the little heart punch?? Also are the hearts made out of foam?

[@ShannonMoody]

Wow!! Gorgeous!!

[@darrylsdaughtersbake6108]

This is absolutely genius

[@chilliconcarnie1]

What i Can I use in the uk instead of speckling , is it like a white sealant would work ?

[@cnmahmood]

Hi!! I made this and the look was beautiful but they were soooo fragile. What is the texture? Are they supposed to be solid like rock?

[@yulandamaynor7649]

Gurl u are so creative...so cute☺👍🏾.

[@alexisverrett9124]

Awesome Tim trying it as soon as I get to wal mart lol

[@KoraLynne]

Do you have to add water to the spackle because mine wouldn't come out of the nozzle and it was new spackle. 😭

[@LillyVeeee]

Super cute!!!

[@nettiesmagicalnook]

LOVE this !! Do you make these and sell on etsy too?

[@crazyaquariusgurl]

Hello! Love your video ! Definitely inspired! Just tried it and I'm panicking a bit lol it's been 24 hours and it still hasnt fully dried 🙈 any tips or idea how long until it fully dries! Tyia! :)

[@tammyd.565]

Is your ♡ Rae Dunn canister a decal on a xmas one or did you make the ♡ black?

[@TheDIYCottage]

I made the heart black 😁 I used a sharpie and it comes off with rubbing alcohol. I've heard of other people using liquid eyeliner and paint too, though!

[@lindashaffer3387]

Do you need to seal these?

[@brendagentilotti3590]

Love them,keep up the good work.

[@buffy5kt]

Omgosh!! Super cute!!

[@jkc135r]

Question... do you seal them with anything? Clear spray paint, modgepodge?

[@thatsmalltowngirl4]

Love the new set up/video recording. I spy a brown chair ;) fantastic idea, how do you come up with these diys??

[@TheDIYCottage]

😂😂😂 you have spotted my secret shame! It's just been too cold to spray outside. Hopefully it will be white soon 😂😜

[@debbydhill]

Adorable! Glad you are back! Did you figure out where you are moving to?

[@TheDIYCottage]

We did actually!! I'll be making a video about it here in a few weeks hopefully! We are just waiting on a few things to get settled before making the announcement 😁

[@chrissimmons3282]

Has anyone done these on tumbler lids? How are you leaving the space for your straw?

[@sandrarunyan7240]

I just found your channel. Omg this is genius. I’ll be doing this for sure. Tfs

[@deborahprince4121]

Can’t wait to make mine 💗

Hi there. How do they hold up. I seen somewhere that a person purchased some from someone and they molded have u noticed anything like that?

[@mistyduke880]

Honestly, I was skeptical when I started watching. And actually thought, uh...why??? But by the end of the video I was thinking...I gotta do this!!!!
