These are the easiest and the prettiest favors I have made so far for my sons birthday with the help of my dear friend, Sheelu, who also took these pictures.

I had these take-out boxes from his last years outdoor birthday and was trying to find a way to use them again so here they are.

I made holes on either side and added handles with jute twine. I used colorful card stock to make these flowers – see instructions here. I hot glued them along with the ribbon I made with left over paper and handwrote the thank you note for each kid[I have greyed out the name but you can use your imagination] to add a personal touch.

I filled it with fruit snacks, chocolates and a toy but you can add whatever you like, they are so pretty and can be made for baby and bridal showers too.

Pumpkins for halloween

IMG_3976When you have a young toddler at home full time you really have to get creative to manage time and have fun. I thought about getting a pumpkin and carve, paint etc for halloween but my baby was too small to understand any of it, so I thought instead I’ll just make some halloween decorations thats easy and different. All I had to get was some orange foam sheet, scissors and thread. Very simple and looked so gorgeous all over the house in different sizes. Hung it from the door knob too for trick o treaters.
