Mermaid Tail Cake Topper: DIY Birthday Cake Topper Tutorial

Mermaid Tail Cake Topper

This past month I have been busy planning my daughter’s 3rd birthday photo shoot. Because Ella is all about Mermaids these days, I decided to go all out and have come up with some really fun ideas and new tutorials, including this Mermaid Tail Cake Topper.

I’m a closet graphic design doodler when I am not busy with paper flowers so today you will get to scoop up this free ‘Under the Sea’ mermaid tail cake topper!
