Material required-

Paper plates

Handmade paper

Glue gun or any glue like fevicol

Thin cardboard to draw the template on

Dies and die cutting machine(optional)

Method-

Step 1- Make your own template with the help of the picture below on a thin piece of card.There are a lot of printable templates available online too.Optionally, you could use them.I created my own because they did not suit my requirement.

It looks complicated but trust me ,it is actually easy.Start with the middle triangle and draw the 6 cm line.At both the ends draw lines at 75 degrees.The lines will meet at a point and will be approx 11 cm long.Then on all three sides draw lines that are 4.5 cm long and at 90 degrees.Connect the lines to make the side walls. Thereafter create little tabs by taking help from the picture above and below.The parts highlighted with yellow colour in the pic below are the parts that I 'm referring as tabs.

Step 2- Once you have created the template cut at the red lines.Then copy this template on the paper you want to make the cake base with(on the wrong side).Cut at the red lines.

Step 3- fold  this paper at the green lines towards you.You will begin to see the shape of the cake piece ,after scoring at the green lines.Stick the tabs appropriately to give it the final shape.It will look something like this.

Step 4- Once the base is ready, all that is left is to decorate it as per your choice.I added a strip of brown paper to make the middle chocolate layer and added a piece of chocolate brown paper after embossing it, on the top for the icing.

Step 5- I cut out some flourishes with the bigshot die cutting machine in golden paper and added them to the top.

Step 6- Then I cut out a swirly rose using a die and added it to the top.Cut out an orange paper with the scalloped squares die and pasted on it another scalloped square cut white paper after printing the invite.I glued all this on top of a fancy paper plate from

And Yippee !!!!  your party invite is ready.

I firmly believe that handmade gifts and things are just priceless.
