Congrats Sign tutorial

Supplies Needed:
-Scissors
-Elmers Glue
-Tape
-Ribbon
-Old cd

-Letters : C O N G R A T S ( I made mine on the computer, cut them out, then spray painted them

-Gold Paint Pen

*You can always substitute different colors to match your theme.

First, use your old cd to draw circles with your gold paint pen, then cut them out around the gold line.

Second, Print out letters on cardstock and cut them out.

Third, spray paint letters to desired color.

Fourth, glue letters to circles.

Line the letters up in the correct order before you start stringing the ribbon through.

Punch 2 holes on each circle.  One on each side (not right in the middle so it doesn't flip around)

 

 

Secure with tape in back.

1st Birthday Party -Zebra Print Themed

This was the invitation (to set the tone of the party)

Birthday cupcakes with zebra print wrapper

Picture display of her 1st year

Lesson Learned: Do not blow up balloons too early, they will lose their buoyancy.  I would say an hour before party would be ok. 

Pink and Black Tulle and Hershey Kisses, so easy!

The centerpieces had a tower of oreos inside

Retirement Party: Black and Gold Theme

Here are pics from the retirement party.  I was so busy that I didn't even get a chance to take a good picture of the centerpieces on the tables, I apologize.

Centerpiece: Plastic Gold Bowl lined with tissue paper, a bag of coffee, two packages of cookies, coffee candy and chocolates, sprinkled in, all wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with gold curling ribbon

Favors: Make your own bag of candy from dessert/candy buffet

Dessert/Candy Buffet: Candy-Coffee Candy, Werther's Hard Candy and Chewy Candy, Hershey's Assorted Chocolates (Gold and Silver Wrapping), Rolos, and Peanut Butter Cups

Please look for another post on how I made the CONGRATS sign.

Desserts: Mini Oreo Cheesecakes on cupcake stand, Donut Tower (small white powdered donuts)
