Family pictures
When we got our pics in Mexico they offered these prints with our package and I just haven't found the right spot for them. When we moved I decided not to clutter the walls with family pics but of course I can't just stash pics away so I decided to mount them on burlap and I absolutely love it.
Baseball stitch wall
I originally saw this idea online but I did things a little different then what I read so I thought I'd share my techniques to make this easy and satisfying :). My first step was to paint the entire wall, basically bc it was a flat paint before and I changed it to eggshell. Obviously walls vary in size so you will just need to determine how close you want the stitching. We tied a pencil at the end of a rope and then tacked it in the corner then drew from one side to the other to get the long line. Make sure u hold the pencil outright and not slanted at all! Then do the other line in the opposite corner. I traced the line with a thin paintbrush using a gray paint we had already. It's ok if the line isn't exactly the same thickness ! If u look close you can see mine varies in thickness. The best thing I did was make a stencil from a scrap piece of cardboard for the stitching. And I didn't try to draw the stencil exa
Princess Tea Party
For my daughters 5th Birthday party we decided upon a Tea Party with Cinderella! I think I went overboard this time but all the kids and even parents were saying what a great party it was which makes me feel really good since I put so much time and effort into it! These were the party favors, I loved making these! I just cut out the circles with a cd as my template, then used a cupcake wrapper template for the tea cup and it took a while to cut out the perfect handle but I got it! Used the bags to make it look like steam coming from pot! I also put name labels in the side as well so the kids wouldn't fight over them. I bought all pink candies, stickers, Cinderella pens for the girls and sll blue candies for the boys! The boys didn't partake in the tea party ;) Pin the Tiara on the Princess! Bought on Amazon for apx. $2.99 Had Cinderella give all girls a wand, gloves, and a necklace! Tea Cup Pinata, Made by
