{Craft} How to create a City Cake Pop Display

Hope you enjoyed the Fireman Birthday Party pictures yesterday !
Here is how I made the city backdrop I used as cake pop display.










Notes:
- Sourcing the grey wrapping paper was not so easy. I do understand why nobody wants to wrap presents in grey (it sure does not scream fun !!!) but I really wanted this color....
Anyway, after searching high and low and visiting all the local party stores, I found mine at Paper Source and it was well worth the $5 a roll. The paper is thick and has a lovely matt finish, exactly what I needed for this project.
- The foam blocks I kept from my craft furniture delivery a few weeks ago ! The boxes were full of blocks in different sizes, just what I needed :)

  3. I LOVE this idea! My son is having a firefighter birthday party next weekend. I am soooo doing this backdrop. Thank you for the notes on where to get the grey wrapping paper! Was trying to figure out where I could find it! Thankfully it looks like there is a Paper Source not too far from where I'm hoping to go on Saturday with my family. Should work out great!!! Thank you thank you for all your cute tutorials!!!
