DIY: Graduation Party Inspiration

5:13:28 by Jessy | No Comments

Graduation season is upon us and celebrations are in the works. If you’re looking for some cute ideas to spice up your grad’s soiree, take these cute (and completely budget-friendly) crafts into consideration. All you need is the perfect graduation party invitation to inspire your DIY prowess. Here’s how easy it is…

Let your design inspire your decor. We started with our Contemporary Class graduation party invite and used the design elements and colors to make cupcake flags and napkin rings.

Aren’t they fun?

For the cupcake flags, you need wooden skewers and scrapbook sticker numbers. For a stronger hold, add a dot of hot glue to the number when you attach it to the skewer.

For the napkin rings, you’ll need to cut up a piece of cardstock into 3 inch long strips. Wrap it around the napkin and secure with tape or hot glue. Then, add a cute embellishment like these grad caps and put ‘em on display.

DIY: Easter Party Favors

12:59:46 by Jessy | No Comments

As you’ve likely seen by now, store shelves everywhere are lined top to bottom with Easter goodies. And if you’re hosting the family this Sunday, these cute carrot treats are a festive way to delight the youngsters, and the young at heart—not to mention, they’re way better than store-bought favors!

Supplies

-Orange candies

-Clear piping bags

-Green raffia or ribbon

-a cute gift tag, like our Elegant Eggs design seen here:

Step 1: Put a Tag on It

We used clear piping bags found in the baking section of our local craft store. Since they’re pretty big, you’ll need to trim them down at the top. Then, stick your gift tags to the bags before filling them with candy—this will ensure a smooth, clean look.

Step 2: Fill Your Treat Bags

Using Fruit Loops, Reese’s Pieces, candy corn or any other orange bite-sized treat you can find, fill up your plastic bags. Leave enough room at the top to tie with a ribbon.

Step 3: Tie It Up Cute

Using your ribbon, tie a bow to the top of your treat bag. When all your “carrots” are tied, they’re ready to be displayed! Easy, right?

Mom Talk: Llama Ll-ove

10:23:40 by Contributors | No Comments

It’s my coworker’s birthday this week. She loves llamas and so we decided to surprise her by decorating her desk with ll-ots of llama ll-ove!

For the decorations, my 11 year-old son helped me cut out a rainbow of paper llamas and staple them to the ribbons of these heart-shaped balloons. They were very colorful and looked great hanging above her desk.

She really loved them—and it was a fun project to do with my son. He was a little sad he couldn’t be here in the morning to see her reaction, He made me promise to take a picture and let him know if she liked it. Isn’t that sweet?
