Well, I have been busy crafting for some submission calls but I wanted to stop in to share one project that I decided to make just for fun! I am getting ready to celebrate my little guy's first birthday so I have been looking around the blogosphere for all kinds of inspiration and trying to decide on a theme and decorations. So, last night I was playing around with my supplies and came up with this project...perfect to add a little fun to your food/dessert table or even to place at the birthday boy's place setting.
Fun, right?! For this project I wrapped a little juice can with washi tape (4 layers to hide the images on the can). Then I had fun decorating the can with Echo Park's Scoot stickers. To create the flags I used a wooden dowel (although wooden skewers work well too). I made a larger pennant style flag and decorated it with more stickers then accented it with the two smaller flags. I love the candle and confetti paper...if you are in a hurry, simply creating a few of these would add a little whimsy to your party table decor!
Still not sure what I'm going to do for my little guy's party but I'm sure I'll have more party decor items to share soon! And in July, Paper Crafts' new Birthday Creations magazine will be coming out and guess who has a project on the cover?! Me! :) Sooooo excited!
Finally, in my search for great birthday party ideas I discovered a fabulous blog that I'm sure many of you would love as well...The Hostess With the Mostess. There are truly some AMAZING birthday themes/parties that people have come up with and photographed beautifully.
Have a lovely day! I am hoping to get a few more projects started...
