Who is going to win the PENNANT?

Party week preview! Here's a little teaser. A small project to get you excited for Party Week on simpler times.

I am going to take all next week, starting Monday to give you some ideas and show you some things I've recently done for parties. Are you excited? I am! Make sure you check back every day for new and exciting and inexpensive party ideas all next week.

 

So. Pennants. Cute? very.

Quick tutorial on making a pennant. The one I made was for a safari birthday but you could do 'happy birthday', 'it's a boy/girl', 'boy, oh boy'(that's one I just did for a shower I threw but of course forgot to take a picture in all the festivities), etc. etc. etc.

Draw the shape of a triangle. Ideally you have an isosceles triangle{long rather than a short and squat} but I suppose if you like the look of short and squat you can do that. Cut it out with scissors or your paper cutter (I used this to achieve a straighter edge).

You've made a template! Trace out your template onto the back side of the paper you want to use making sure you have enough for all of your letters.

Then you have all of your 'flags'. Cut out embellishments. letters, etc.

I wanted this plain but the baby shower one I made had cut outs of babies, hearts, and umbrellas by the letters.

Hang and enjoy.

BIRTHDAYYYYYYY

Birthday hat. Siimple, inexpensive, a little silly, and definitely cute!

Take yourself a large dinner plate that almost fills up a 12 by 12 sheet of paper. I bought some flocked paper that looked like fabric but cut like paper!

Draw a circle and cut it out. Cut it in half and you have your start.

roll the ends to each other and keep rolling until your hat is as big or small as you want it. Make suer you don't have a gap at the top.

Hot glue a large pom pom to the tip.

Hot glue pom poms around the bas of your hat.

Sorry. Bad pic. Poke SMALL holes in the sides and thread elastic through tying each side in a knot once you have your desired length for your kiddo.

Voila. Your very own b-day hat.

Stay Tuned!

Get Ready to Partay!!

Hey all and welcome to those new followers! I am so excited to have you and glad you found me. I hope I can teach you something new or give you some good ideas. Thanks for joining me!

I will not post anything new until the end of the weekend or beyond probably, but I wanted to let you know what I have planned for coming up in the next week or two.

I am going to be doing a birthday party series. My baby is turning one and I am planning a really fun party. I am making favor bags, a party hat, food, a banner, decorations, etc. All the things I do will be for the party I am throwing so make sure you keep an open mind and your idea book close at hand so you can imagine the projects for your own parties. I will include tutorials for anything I can and if I show an idea and do NOT do a tutorial but you would like me to, make sure you leave me a comment letting me know and I will get on it right quick!

I will reveal the theme of my party tomorrow along with (I hope) a quick tutorial on digiscrapping your own invites!

Happy Crafting!
