[@Shade_4u]

OMG FINALLY!!! I am like a pro crafter, I have made so many things but for some reason I was having so much trouble trying to teach myself how to make these shakers cake toppers, no videos helped until yours!!!! the way you started with the 6 images and explaining what each is for ... FINALLY made it click for me!! Thank You so much! lol

[@SVGNationGraphics]

You’re welcome, Leti 😊

[@ladylibertycreations]

Thank you so much for the basic explanation!!! Its so helpful:)

[@SVGNationGraphics]

So glad you found it helpful ☺️

[@vikkimaree4564]

Thank you so much. I am just trying to make cake toppers but I used foam tape which is very fiddly. I’ll give the foam a go. Also I see your glue gun has a nice fine point and doesn’t get stringy. I’d love a cordless glue gun but I haven’t been able to find one here in Australia yet.

[@SVGNationGraphics]

I actually went back to my hot glue gun with the cord because it heats up faster and works better. Cutting craft foam can be easier to work with instead of foam tape for round designs.

thank you so much, this is so cute. I'm going to make the mermaid topper and add it to the gift bag as decoration.

[@SVGNationGraphics]

That will look so cute ☺️

Would love to see a video on print and cut. I’ve never done it before

[@SVGNationGraphics]

Hi Kim! I do have a tutorial and video on making stickers with print then cut here: svgnation.com/how-to-make-stickers-with-cricut/ and I also have a print then cut tutorial here svgnation.com/print-and-cut-cricut/

[@stephanieauberry7112]

This is great! I want to make a couple for my kids grad and birthday parties! Question though… does/would the hot glue melt the plastic or foam?

So cute, helpful video..

Thank you 🤗

[@jemmy2323]

Is there sizes for this anywhere. Mine printed way to small. I am going to start over to see if I moved anything.

[@SVGNationGraphics]

Hi Jemmy! You will want to resize these according to your cake size. For a round cake, I typically make them about an inch smaller than the cake size to give you an idea of how to size them. For a rectangle cake, making it around the size of the width is a good measurement.

Wow ,you do great video. Thank you for sharing

[@SVGNationGraphics]

Thank you Lori! So glad you enjoyed this 😊

[@anatiffany1833]

Hi, I entered my name and email twice to get the free svg files and all I received was your newsletter. Which is great for ideas, but I’m not able to find the files for this anywhere. Could you help me find them?

[@SVGNationGraphics]

Hi! Check your spam folder and see if it went there. Since it has an attachment for the file, the emails sometimes end up there. If you don't see it there, respond back to my email that you got and let me know which file you need, and I will send it over.

[@ursulaguevara3476]

can you do a video on the settings you used to cute the different materials?

[@SVGNationGraphics]

Hi Ursula! I typically do the custom settings and then select the type of paper I am using from there. For the plastic and foam I use the poster board setting.

[@amberdixon8099]

What fonts did you use?!

[@01PerfectlyImperfect]

Hi Do you have a Tutorial for a Starbucks shaker cake topper?

[@SVGNationGraphics]

I don’t Lisa. But you would use the same concept, just with a different design.

[@jenniferh6276]

Hi! Did you mirror the images before cutting them? tfs!!

[@SVGNationGraphics]

You do not need to mirror the images, only when using iron on vinyl.

[@jenniferh6276]

@@SVGNationGraphics ok thank you

[@vikkinagygeller5007]

How cute. Any turning red cake topper?

[@SVGNationGraphics]

That would be a cute one! I can’t actually link any specific character graphics on my site for you to download. But for something like this, you could use the print then cut method. Just Google and find an image you like and then use the same colors throughout the rest of the cake topper design.

Hi Kristi!! Can you please share the template for the princess shaker?
