One of my favorite elements from this weekend's Dinosaur Baby Shower was this dinosaur party fern wreath that I crafted the night before. It is a two-step process, but came together really quickly, and I thought I'd show you to how to make your own. DINOSAUR PARTY...
My friend and go-to cake girl, Amy Parsons of Scrumdiddlyumptious Bakery, came up with this super-fun idea for her daughter's birthday. Sprinkles in balloons, balloons on cake, pop the balloons = sprinkles on the cake! LOVE it! I was trying to explain this concept to...
Our hometown 4th of July parade is Norman Rockwell fun, but it also is steamy. So clearly we needed parade fans. This is a "use what you have around the house" project, and an easy craft to do with your kids. 4th of July Fan Supplies Paper plates 4th of July printable...
To dress up our 4th of July parade wagon, I made some DIY tassels. For about $3, and a trip to the dollar store, you can make plastic table cover tassels. This is a super easy (and very cheap) project that you could use to decorate any party! Plastic tablecloth tassel...
When you purchase a printable collection, you get so much. But have you ever thought about how to stretch those printables? I'm challenging myself to do that with this weekend's Night Owl Sleepover and the printables I'm working with from Love the Day. Here's how to...
I think my Night Owl Sleepover girls are going to need some midnight snacks. Pretty much nothing makes me happier than peanut butter and chocolate, so I'm hoping a few of these Nutter Butter owls are left over! Here's how to make Owl Nutter Butters. Before we jump...
The closer our Night Owl Slumber Party gets, the more ideas I'm having for food. (Be a little afraid -- I'm no food stylist, but I always like to try new things.) Here's how to make owl cupcakes. If I can do this, anyone can. Owl Cupcake Supplies Cupcakes with...
Next weekend, we're hosting a night owl slumber party, so I'm in full party prep mode. Sunday's project was making easy party party bunting. I used patterned papers from the Love the Day. This is a really easy and quick way to get a little more out of your printables...
Over the past few months I've had the honor of helping my sister-in-law plan wedding guest gift boxes for her daughter's wedding. It's been a lot of fun introducing Kathy (my SIL) to Pinterest and figuring out how to make boxes that reflected the bride and groom's...
I'm working on a sleepover party now, and since the party will last longer than the standard two-hour time frame, I thought I'd leave the order of activities up to the girls. But on the other hand, I'm WAY too organized to leave it completely up to them and I can't...
A few months back, I spied some adorable flower poms at a wholesaler floral warehouse. They were so big and cute and I had to have at least five for a party yet-to-be-planned. I thought they'd be cheap, but the small ones were $35 each -- at the wholesaler. At. the....
For the This Is Your Life Party I hosted this weekend, I tried a new way to attach pennants to my ribbon. Brass fasteners from the office supply aisle were really easy to use, and I'll show you how to make your own photo party banner. It's great for a first birthday —...
My mom and sister (step) have birthdays just days apart, so this Saturday, we're celebrating mom turning 70 and my sister turning 60. I'm making two of these ribbon loop wreaths for the front door. Finished product coming next week! In the meantime, here's how to make...
Yesterday I was brainstorming backdrop ideas for a Custom Party Plan client, and I just had to try one of the ideas to see how it would work out. I made a mini version of a wave party backdrop to test the concept, and now I get to share the tutorial with you. All...
We are just back from the beach, and I'm helping a client plan a mermaid party, so I'm all about sand and surf inspiration right now. I made these little shell art pieces for my daughters' beach themed room makeover, but think they'd also be fun on a dessert table or...
The way we write our thank yous has changed as the girls have gotten older, so I thought we'd talk about how to make writing thank you notes easy and fun for you and your kids. I know it can be a struggle to get your kids to stop playing with their gifts long enough...
Lately, I've been so impressed with some of the plastic utensils available at Party City. I'm not usually a big fan of disposables, but the new designs have tons of style. These are heavy-duty and intended to be resused, but handwashing dozens of forks was not high on...
When you buy an entire printable collection, it may include cupcake wrappers. These are the printables I cannot seem to master. My hand just isn't steady enough to cut a smooth curve, so I'm never pleased with how the wrappers turn out and I tend not to use them. The...
