newspaper flowers
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.
favors / christmas decorations
These are favors for my nephews who for the first time agreed to celebrate there birthday together.
It was at the ice rink in Virginia and they are 10 and 4 and most of their friends are common between them like Peppa and George from Peppa pig. Since the age group varied from 1-10 they decided to get gift cards for everyone and being the creative aunt I stitched these skater bags as covers for the gift cards. It was very pretty and did I mention Yellow was one of there fav colors:). I made quite a few extra and used them as christmas decorations too.
halloween bags
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!
Pumpkins for halloween
When 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.
lego in berry basket
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!
favor carriers
eco friendly drink carriers filled with summer toys are my favorite favors of them all and yes this was for my sons first birthday in June. I am amazed at the wonderful response I got for these. It was initially going to be the same for everyone but it dint make sense because we had kids from newly born to 10 years old and so I had to custom make it but it was easier than I thought and each favor had a name tag too. The amazing part is that my girlfriends tell me that they are still using those favors after almost a year and after all it was a favor for both -carrier for the parents and toys for the kids. Love it!
