People put cute toppers on cupcakes all the time…why not sandwiches too? Even if you’re not a “crafty type” you’ll find these panini toppers (click here to download) are incredibly easy to put together. Here are some simple step-by-step instructions.
You’ll need:
- Printout of the panini toppers template
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Toothpicks
Then it takes just 3 easy steps:
1. Cut out the design you want to use (the circular ones have both a front and a back).
2. Apply glue to the blank side of each piece and lay a toothpick in the center of the back piece.
3. Place the front piece on top and press to stick it all together. Make sure the toothpick is firmly secured between the paper pieces. It takes a just a few minutes to dry and there you have your fun panini topper!
For the flag style, it’s just as easy:
1. Fold the flag in half and make a crease.
2. Open it back up and rub the glue stick over the entire white side. Lay a toothpick along the crease.
3. Fold the flag over and press to glue it together. Voilà – “XOXO!”

Kathy, these toppers are so adorable! I love your website, and I absolutely LOVE panini, so I’ll definitely be coming back often to check out your recipes. You come up with such creative ideas, and they all look so yummy. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog!
Kathy this is an adorable idea. I love your sayings- perfect for your panini! I couldn’t think up anything that cute for BRK- hmm, I will have to put my thinking cap on.
I’m a total sucker for things like this. Pretty darn cute! Makes me remember the little notes I’d tuck in my boys, lunch once every blue moon, but these are better 😉
It’s the newfangled version of the lunch napkin note, lol.
I love these. Especially cute for pictures!
Kathy, L-O-V-E this idea. My son loves when his sandwiches come with frilly toothpicks. If I put one of these cute toppers in his lunch box sandwich or his Thursday Night Panini (Thursday is Panini Night at our house!), he’d be over the moon. Thanks for the idea!
Definitely for panini night! (Glad to hear this is still happening :-))
