The party favors at our tea party also doubled as a craft. Inside each of these white jewelry boxes topped with a rose and butterfly, was a bag of pearl beads and clear elastic cord. We strung pearl necklaces to wear with our pretty dresses during our party. The range in ages was 2 –

To finish up the Pirate Party posts I have a few party favors and decorations to share with you. I love the simplicity of this treasure chest pocket. The only adhesive that is required is gluing the lock on. The rest of the treasure chest folds and holds together on its own. You can see
Ahoy Matey! These puppets are a great kids craft for all your boy and girl pirates. They are so simple to assemble and I have include a variety to fit the needs of the kids. I used red paper sacks as the body of the captain and pirate boy puppets. I used a white sack
Once I got started designing the pirate cupcake wrappers and toppers I just couldn’t stop. I had so many ideas flowing through my head. I included a good mix of regular die cuts along with print and cut. I used chocolate covered gold coins and brown sugar to make sand and treasure for the treasure
Pirates are taking over the blog this week. I love designing themed parties and this one comes complete with invitations, decorations and kids crafts. For the invitation I printed all the party details on the back of a treasure map and delivered them as a message in a bottle. The treasure map comes with two
This is the last post of the DIY heart magnet projects and today I have a FREE printable for you so you can create an “I’m Stuck on You” Valentine’s Day card to go along with the hearts. I am a sucker for a good pun and couldn’t resist making “I’m Stuck on You” cards
My Valentine party is today, and I wanted to quickly pop in and give you a tutorial on using the Tattoo Paper from Silhouette. This stuff is seriously awesome! You can use it on just about any surface! I’m going to show you how I used it on the plaster heart magnets I made. The
I played around with some Plaster of Paris this past week and made some hearts using chocolate molds. I remember my mom making these with different chocolate molds when we were little. She would put hooks made out of wire in them so we could string them on necklaces after we spent the day painting
