Dresden gold foil letters are a classic crafting embellishment. String them on shiny metallic gold thread and spell a special message.
Plan out the letters needed in advance, and order them from an online source, such as eBay.
Use square foam blocks to support your banner while you’re working on it. Then, place the banner on top of a cake.
