I was so happy how this turned out that I had to share!

I bought a cute gnome statue for our cake topper. I love that it it even has a wedding book behind them. However, I wasn't completely satisfied with how it was painted. The gnomes skin wasn't painted and the clothes didn't match our wedding colors (burgundy, burnt orange and royal blue). So I decided to repaint the statue and here is the final product. On the top right is a pic of the original statue.

We looked at sooo many traditional toppers, but it just wasn't us. We later decided to have sylphs or fairy jars for our centerpieces (I'll include a pic). So then we looked at fairy couples, and although they are so beautiful...they just don't look like us. That's when we decided to add a few gnomes to represent the earth... and that's when it occurred to us how gnomes would be a perfect cake topper.

Here's my finished cake stand. Wood burned a celtic design on the top 14" plate. Wood burned leaves and acorns to a 10" wood plate then colored with color pencils. Sealed both playes, the wood glued and screwed the plates to an $8 store bought "8 cake stand from JoAnn Fabrics. Total cost $13.

My finished card box. I bought this wood box for $5. Wood burned the tree of life and celtic design to the top and sides. I then bought material for $2 from JoAnn fabrics and lined the box. Total cost $7. I'll definitely use this after the wedding.

My finished ringbearer box. $2 box from Hobby Lobby. Wood burned the design to the top and inside, then sealed. Used leftover fabric for ring pillows. Will be a great keepsake.
