You're welcome!

Thanks for the video I really do appreciate please do you have a video of things I will need to get started with cake topper business

[@cherryannstevens3232]

Hi, how you packed your 3D Birthday Banners for mailing? Do you have video for that? Thanks

[@JtruUk]

Hello there, I packed them with cellophane bags. I'm sure I have a snippet of me packing it in one of my studio vlogs :)

[@stanceworks7995]

hi im interested to know why you use podge to stick the stick on and not glue? does it work better than a glue gun?

[@JtruUk]

Hello, I personally find that it sticks better and I can adjust it accordingly. Also I don't like the idea of having my glue gun on for big orders.

[@stanceworks7995]

Why do you use modge podge to stick the sticks onto cardstock and not glue? I've seen someone else do this. Modge is quite expensive in my country

[@JtruUk]

I've tried regular pva glue before and it takes ages to dry but Mod Podge dries quick and yes they are a little pricey but worth it.

[@nunul6886]

This is a great tutorial. Which setting do you use for cutting the glitter card stock? I noticed sometime mine skip. Could it be the blades? Thank you

[@JtruUk]

Thank you! I use the poster board setting for my glitter cardstock as they are 250gsm so it needs to cut round twice. I'm not too sure why your one would skip... Changing your blades regularly definitely helps. 😊

[@sugarpoppop3958]

I don't have a circuit cutter however I do have a die cutter so I'll have to make that do for now. I have a question, which is, ...do you have a preference with your toothpicks?, I personally like the clear ones rather than the wooden ones. Is there a reason why you use the wooden ones and have you tried the translucent ones?

[@JtruUk]

I used to have a die cutter and it was fun at first but very time consuming if you need to make large quantities of everything. Maybe you should consider looking into a second hand cricut machine if this is more affordable for you? There's nothing wrong with using the clear ones at all, it's just a matter of preference. I personally prefer wooden picks.

[@sugarpoppop3958]

@@JtruUk ...thank you for taking the time to respond, appreciate it. I was wondering if the wooden toothpicks held up a bit more sturdy rather than the clear ones because of it being smooth in texture it will shift with the topper weight.

[@Micara241]

Love love your video. No unnecessary taking, really quite relaxing. New subie here

[@JtruUk]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos! 😊

[@SEYSDESIGNS]

Where did you buy your hard envelope? I watched it on one of your other videos? Also the shipping boxes please and thank you so much

[@JtruUk]

I got them from ebay. I usually buy them in bulk so it works out cheaper. Hope that helps.

[@SEYSDESIGNS]

@@JtruUk ,thank you so much for the prompt response. Would you mind sharing the link? I've been checking but can't seem to find any reasonable. It seems like they're all coming from the UK with ridiculous shipping fee of $80-175

[@mariamakhtar2459]

That was a relaxing video to watch. Can’t wait to watch the rest. It’s interesting that you use mod podge to stick. I use a glue gun but that gets so messy and it’s not neat.

[@JtruUk]

Thanks so much! Yes I've always used mod podge , maybe you should try it out?

[@feliciajosephinejimenez5893]

Hi! I was wondering, what you’re taping the large cake topper on ? It seemed stronger than white paper. I’m so new and learning as I go.

[@JtruUk]

Hi, it's a 160gm card stock for the packaging. Standard A4 paper will be too flimsy to hold the cake topper. Hope that helps 😊

[@Jen-du8bk]

Hi, what is the name of the cardboard like envelopes you used to package the cake toppers??

[@JtruUk]

Hey, you can literally buy them from ebay or amazon. They are hard back cardboard envelopes. Size a4 and a5. Hope that helps.

[@daisygarcia4388]

Hello. Your work is amazing. Isn’t standard card stock flimsy? What thickness do you use to make sturdy toppers?

[@JtruUk]

Thanks so much! You might want to watch this video where I talk about the type of card stock and packaging I use for my business. Hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mafSlHWHgp6getU

Thank you

[@chrissyss3218]

Where did you get your backings to insert into the package

[@JtruUk]

For my cupcake toppers I use my flyers and cake toppers I use the A4 160gsm card stock. Hope that helps!

[@morenike3690]

I honestly love watching your videos, especially the topper ones. I love the font you used for these, may I ask the name of it please? Thank you :)

[@JtruUk]

Thank you I really appreciate it. ❤️

[@ninzb3152]

Hello! I just want to ask, what is the sizes of plastic packaging did you use in cupcake toppers, cake toppers and banners?

[@JtruUk]

Hi, you should be able to find all the information from this video I made - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mafSlHWHgp6getU

[@simrag]

Hi you may not respond but I'd also like to start a cake topper business my only worry is packing I don't want to spend lots and I don't want to use plastic. Any suggestions? Thankyou

[@JtruUk]

Hello, you can start small by buying packaging from your local craft shops or go ebay or amazon to purchase smaller quantities. Good luck with it.

[@mikkih7654]

Love your flyer! Did you make it yourself?

[@JtruUk]

Thank you! I designed the flyer myself and got them printed. :)

[@babagababaga7156]

hello, what kind of printing machine do you use my friend?

[@JtruUk]

Hello, I don't actually have a printing machine. I use the cricut explore air 2 to cut all my decorations out. I hope that helps.

[@babagababaga7156]

@@JtruUk thank you very much it's very helpful

[@MelissaRodriguez-ut2mb]

Very relaxing video, I really enjoyed it. I'd like to see what you use to ship your items in?

[@JtruUk]

Thank you so much! In my studio vlog 8 I show what I use for packaging my items - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mafSlHWHgp6getU Hope that helps! :)

[@z4yyan]

Great video. Can I ask how you take pictures of all your toppers to sell on Etsy?

[@JtruUk]

Thank you! I usually take photos of a few of them laid flat on a white piece of paper or place them on top of a cake. I also use photoshop to place the topper design onto an image if I want to upload to my shop quickly. I hope this helps! :)

[@z4yyan]

Morning (from Scotland). Yeah that's great thanks. I've seen people with so many listings and was wondering if they cut each topper out. That would take a really long time. Thanks again!

[@easmataraahmed7219]

thank you so much for your video, it was really helpful! I want to know what type of mod podge you used? Is it very secure? Would you ever use a hot glue gun instead? thank you so much :)

[@JtruUk]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I use the matt mod podge and I would say it's pretty good and it dries quick depending on the amount you use. I personally wouldn't use hot glue gun for toppers as it gets too messy. I hope that helps! :)

[@mel27931]

Love it!!

Thank you 😊

Hi ..Thank you for your lovely relaxing video .Just wondering if it's good business with good profit?? 😊
