Geometric Party or Wedding - DIY Inspiration

1. DIY Fondant Edible Geometric Cake Toppers: These don't look too difficult to make. You can buy pre-made fondant at a craft store (like Michaels) and color it with food coloring, then cut out the shapes with cookie cutters.
2. DIY Geometric Piñata Tutorial: Made from cardboard boxes, masking tape & tissue or crepe paper. 
3. DIY Faceted Geometric Drink Stirrers: With just a few small supplies you can create these drink stirrers and paint them any color you like.
4. Rockpool Jewel Soap $10.67 USD: I love these little jewel soaps. They would make the perfect party/wedding favor.
5. Minimal Geometric Ombré Cake: These geometric pieces look like they are made out of fondant. As I mentioned above with the Geometric cake toppers... you can buy white fondant, roll, cut out the shapes & brush stroke edible coloring to give it the painted look.
6. DIY Geometric Tissue Paper Lanterns: Inexpensive to make and great event decór addition.
7. Geometric Napkin Inspiration: I did not find a DIY on this exact photo, but I did find this tutorial with printable geometric shapes. After they are folded & glued/taped, you could paint them or cover them with glue and glitter.
8. Custom Printed Geometric Faceted Wedding Favor Envelopes: Available in multiple colors. Fill these little envelopes with flower seeds and they make a great wedding/party favor.
9. DIY Wood Geometric Cake Toppers: Simple, inexpensive to make & customizable.

Online Treasure Hunt Ideas "Liam The Leprechaun"

Wake up sleepyhead

You've been sleeping all day!

I came over to trick you and tease you today!

I knocked on the door but 

You just slept right through it

Now I dare you to catch me 

But I bet you can't do it!, St. Patty's Day downloads, leprechaun hunt, leprechaun ideas, St. Patty's Day treasure hunt

Make this St. Patt'ys Day the most magical St. Patty's day ever with this super fun, super clever "Leprechaun Hunt"! The morning starts when each child finds the above note from Liam the Leprechaun on their pillow--they then follow ten clues chasing Liam all over the house and trying to catch him! This was inspired by my granddaughter who leaves Leprechaun traps every St. Patty's Day to try to catch a leprechaun.  Why should she have all the fun--every kid should get to try to catch a leprechaun (and be teased by said leprechaun all along the way!).  To download this amazing "leprechaun hunt", all you have to do is CLICK HERE 

Party Ideas: pink Poodle

 

 

With so many daughters and granddaughters pink is a very popular color in our house!  I designed this fun little pink poodle party for my little granddaughter who just turned three and she absolutely loved it!  I made poodle skirts for each of my granddaughters (I chose to do them in a Chevron pattern which turned out really cute--I was worried that the Chevron might look funny since the zigzags would bend funny when sewn into a skirt, but they turned out to be adorable!) and the girls had a ball just spinning round and round in their skirts and seeing how big they could get their skirt to flare out! I found strands of pearls at Walmart in the fabric section that were sewn together (so I wouldn't have to worry about beads flying everying if the pearl strands broke) and they were perfect to give the poodles on the poodle skirts little pearl collars and to make the handles of the goody bags as well.  I set up a dainty little tea party with kid friendly treats (cute plates with a popcorn cup, a fruit snack cup, etc...) and they were a big hit!  The kids ate and boogied out to some fun music we had playing in the background and everyone had a good time.  If you want to throw a Pink Poodle party, then I have everything already done for you! You can download bottle labels, candy bar wrappers, cookie pockets, gift bags, purses, candy cups, a party banner, good bags, cupcake liners, cupcake tags, candy pouches, silverware holders, poodle skirt patterns and MORE just by visitng my website!  All of these downloads are free (except for the poodle skirt pattern), so all you have to do is print it off, cut it out, put it together, and your Pink Poodle party is ready to go!
