We hand-assemble each layer, from the foam spacers that give our 3D designs their depth to the precise placement of sequins in our shaker windows. Because we handle every step in-house, we can adjust colors, names, and themes to fit exactly what you have in mind for your celebration. ### How We Bring Your Theme to Life When you order a topper, it goes through a few distinct stages in our studio. First, we translate your vision into a design file, ensuring the typography and elements work together structurally. Whether you choose a 3D layered cardstock piece or a sleek mirror acrylic topper, the construction differs significantly. For our signature shaker toppers, the process is quite involved. We build a clear acetate window that needs to be perfectly sealed to hold the sequins or beads in place. This involves multiple layers of cardstock for rigidity and decorative accents that match your theme, like glitter cardstock for a bit of sparkle. For our acrylic designs, the focus is on clean lines. We work with 2mm to 3mm thick cast acrylic, which is durable yet elegant. These are laser-cut for precision, and we finish them with a protective film to ensure they arrive scratch-free. ### Why Handmade Matters Because we assemble these ourselves, we are able to manage the small details that big factories miss. We check the adhesive strength on every 3D layer and ensure the dowel placement is balanced for your cake's weight. If you are a baker looking for fondant stamps or cake charms, this same level of attention goes into creating clean, usable tools that make your professional work easier. We love taking on specific themes. If you have a 'construction zone' party or a specific 'winter wonderland' vibe, we can source the right papers and finishes to make it happen. Since we are a small team based in Bangalore and Gurgaon, we really care about how these look on your actual table, which is why we spend so much time on the assembly rather than rushing the production line. ## About The Party Glitter I am Shikha, and I believe every celebration deserves a centerpiece that feels personal. At The Party Glitter, we do not just cut shapes; we bring your theme to life, one layer of glitter and cardstock at a time.
