pretty banners for the pretty princess misha! she lives in a very pretty house so it looked great and complimented the gazillion pom poms her mom made for her yay!!!. made with card stock paper, ribbons, twine and did I mention that I crazy glued the back so it won’t move…it used to drive me crazy when that happened – the last thing you want to do when you are putting it up is line them up, make sure they are even etc.
I absolutely love these giant newspaper flowers and believe me when I say that these photographs don’t do justice to how gorgeous they really were. We placed them in bunches around the loft in “strategic” locations. It was subtle because of the material so I made them huge so they would stand out. This idea was inspired by my good friend and incredibly talented Brittany Watson and her giant paper flower wedding, which she made herself, check out her blog here. This is the most fun I have had with newspapers of late and we made a bunch of other decorations too, see my next post.
Have you tried to get a halloween costume for your one year old that is a bit unique? Well good luck finding them unless you are willing to shell out tons of money for a costume they are going to wear for a couple of hours at best. I for one was tired of finding the same old costumes every year, they are really cute but you couldn’t wear one and be the only cute monkey or teddy bear out there. So I decided to stitch one my self. I found this DIY owl costume on a blog and added my own colors and changed it a bit but the obsession didn’t end there I took it a step further and stitched this halloween bag because my son was only a year old, he doesn’t know to carry any bag let alone ask for candy and fill it up. So I stitched this with the left over material with a long handle so he could wear it as a messenger bag and also added velcro at the opening to keep the candy from falling out now isn’t that thoughtful!
Fun, eco-friendly and reusable packaging for favors. I always have tons of these boxes since I use for various different things – in my studio, my kitchen, pantry etc and when my friend asked me to help her make favors for her 4 year old son under $5, I knew I could put them to good use. So I filled these baskets with legos and used cling wrap to cover the top and sealed around it with washi tape. I used plain paper, marker and stamp to create the thank you note and viola!
Thiz must be the place
