Personalize your wedding cake with these super cute hand painted peg people!
Lea requested this personalized cake topper… with figures of Logan and Lea. But also, with figures of their sons – Xander and Mason. They were very simple to paint and extremely inexpensive. You could mount them to a small wooden plaque or just stick them on top like they are here. And how cute would it be to create a peg to give to each member of the wedding party?
To create a set of your own, you will need:
- wooden pegs (you can find them online, etsy, or at your local craft shop)
- paint
- paint brushes
Start by painting the bride, she really is the simplest one to do. I also recommend purchasing a few extras – for practice.
When you are done, let the little people dry and finish with a clear coat.
We were inspired by the little cake toppers we found onEtsy.
For the cake stand, Lea purchased the tree stump online. Of course, if you have access to some wood you could cut, sand, and varnish a piece yourself. Using a dremmel tool I carved out the heart. Channeling my girls camp days, I used a wood burner to add the “L + L”
The results were simple but very cute. Perfect for our DIY theme! Leave a comment for your chance to win 4 blank pegs to create a custom couple of your own.
