MODERN GEO CAKE TOPPER

geo-cake-topper-I adore a good geo-inspired craft, so I am loving the modern look of this cake topper.  I want to throw a modern geo party sooooooo bad, anyone have a birthday coming up??  I already have the cake topper so….

This DIY is easy peasy you guys.   And like I mentioned on instagram, its got the whole unfinished wood and paint look that I am obsessing over lately.

Balsa Wood ( You can buy individual sheets at Hobby Lobby or Michaels)
Acrylic Paint
Patterning Tape
Wood Skewer

Cut out shape.  I just started cutting, I think it looks fun that the shape is a little off and not super symmetrical.

Tape off the inside shape.  Then start to tape off triangle shapes inside.  Then paint, alternating colors.

    I love this! I think I want to try this but for coasters… I wonder if I should apply something to the top so that water doesn’t ruin it… great tutorial, and super cute :D
