Awesome project! I've seen those little birds in my shopping travels, but I would have never thought outside the box enough to use them as a topper. Sweetness.
Lovely photographer pic, i added some dried lavender for more color. It was so damn cute! I've been scoping Etsy for vintage salt and pepper shakers to make more of these for other couples. What do you think, would you buy it?
That is so cute!! I'd totally buy it...Originally I thought it was going to be traditional s&p shakers ala "Fireproof" haha :)

I've been taking a break from wedding blogs lately, but I just had to share my latest project with you guys!
I made this cake topper after finding these adorable bird salt and pepper shakers at TJ Maxx for $5. Total cost for this project came out to around $8, all stuff from Michaels except the shakers.
-salt and pepper set, wood base, plastic fern shoots, green dyed moss)
Start with a wood base from Michaels, they have bins full of different shapes, some very decorative! $1 each they are a steal!
Sand the wood and paint, but leave the bottom surface unfinished since this part will touch your cake. Seal the painted surface with acrylic spray if you like.
After base is dry use hot glue to attach the salt and pepper shakers (remove the plastic stoppers in the bottoms!)
Glue on the curly fern shoot thingies, anyone know what those are called?
Glue on moss.
Note: I also glued on support sticks to my base because my cake is very soft and I was afraid it would sink. You can buy a single skinny wood dowel for a couple cents at Michaels that works well. I glued these on first and then poked 2 holes in the side of a box so the base could sit flat while I worked on decorating it.
Happy crafting!
