Kids Corner: Happy Birthday A table decoration for a special birthday! Is it your birthday soon? Or is someone you know having a birthday? Why not make a birthday cake place mat for the special day! We have made ours with a pink background for a girl and a blue background for a boy, but you could use any pattern you like - perhaps flowers, fairies, cars, or footballs. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in April 2008. It is a Digital Edition and comes as a downloadable PDF file. You can find the template for the cake pieces on the last page. Template(s) for this project is on the last page of the file. Please check your printer settings when printing to ensure that there are no added margins. There is also a 1 square printed on the last page to help you check if your printer is printing out to the correct size.
