How To Make Fortnite Cupcake Toppers – Food Pick Style
Ideally, you want to use a Cricut or similar to make these Fortnite Cupcake Toppers. If you don’t have one, it’s okay! You can use a 2.5 Inch Craft Punch – it just takes a little longer and you’ll need to adjust the size of the printable.
What You Need
Plenty Of Toothpicks
White A4 Cardstock
Fortnite Cupcake Topper Template
Glue – Hot Glue is the fastest option
Tip: If you are using hot glue, I recommend a high temp glue gun. This is so you have a little time to get the toppers together before the glue rapidly dries.
If you have not used the print and cut setting on your Cricut before, I suggest practicing on something simple in the free projects area of Design Space.
No cricut? No worries. To adjust the size of the Template, upload to Canva and resize to match your hole punch.
Upload The Fortnite Cupcake Topper File To Design Space
Upload the PNG File to Design Space and Choose “Complex” for the best print quality.
You’ll notice a yellow warning flag on the right-hand side. This is to tell you to resize.
Place the image on your Canvas and adjust to the maximum allowed size.
Send It To Print!
I prefer to use my printer’s system dialog when I print the image, otherwise, it comes out medium print quality.
If you are using an Ecotank, you can change the print quality once the printer’s dialog pops up, minimize your Design Space window to find it.
The Ecotank has a tendency to need hand feeding when using thicker card stock, I use Frenchville 285gsm and it needs a little pressure to get the printer to feed.
Send It To Cut!
Now that you have printed your image, pop it on a Cricut mat.
Make sure you are on the “Cardstock” setting (Unless you are using paper).
Please note, if your blades are blunt, this will not turn out well. I buy blades in bulk HERE and Card Stock HERE.
Time To Assemble!
Assembling cupcake toppers is easy! Lay one side image down, position the toothpick in the middle and slap the other side on. The only downside with using hot glue is you have to be quick, personally, I still find it the best option.
Careful not to get glue on the exposed area of the toothpick, you don’t want that coming into contact with your food.
