Don't you just love those cute little wooden toppers?
You know the ones with no necks or arms or legs.
Sometimes they don't even have facial features…
But it doesn't matter because they're just so darn adorable!

Look how adorable the finished products are:
Pretty neat for $15 don't you think? {DIY Cake Topper Kit by Love Monkey via Etsy}
