Update: Kalia's Party was chosen as Party of the Week, then Fan Favorite and then won Party of the month for September over at the amazing Project Nursery, thank you!!! Kalia's 2nd Birthday Party can be found here- another DIY filled party- a "dress up" theme! I LOVED planning, crafting, thrifting and executing Kalia's 1st birthday party. Since Kalia is only one, she is not really into much; besides chewing anything that is not food- and I had trouble creating a party theme around that... So, I created a simple feminine look for her first birthday party. 1- Yard Sale Frame- $5.00 (the frame contained Kalia's 1-11 monthly pictures & were hung with ribbon and glittered clothespins)2 & 8- DIY Cake Stands- Thrifted Plates & Candleholders $6.49 Click here for the DIY! (Any serveware/dishware was already previously owned by me, if you have specific questions, Please ask!) As you can see, most of the items were thrifted and then I worked a little DIY magic. The food!

You Are My Fave Tutorial – Chalkboard Party Cups « Cotton & Brass We have a fun tutorial for you today! Remember the cute party cups from our Ice Cream Social? They are simple and inexpensive to make yourself! The chalkboard paint is the priciest item on the material list and you can use it WAY past these cups (I have had one quart for over a year, and I have barely put a dent in it). This is a great project to work on in front of the TV while you watch a movie (or the Olympics next week!). Materials: Chalkboard Paint (I used Valspar, and it’s one of my favorite tools on my crafting table)Jars (I used 8 oz. Directions: Gather your materials. It’s pretty simple and there is a lot of room to make them your own. Keep in mind these cups are not meant to last forever and probably won’t do well in the dishwasher. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Feel free to take and share this tutorial! Like this: Like Loading...

Sprinkle Lined Vases At the Sprinkles birthday party, I used sprinkles everywhere. Everywhere. Soooo many sprinkles. Pin It Two problems with that vision. 1) Even buying in bulk, I didn't want to use that many sprinkles (I'm cheap that way). 2) sprinkles are water soluble, and would have turned into a muddy mess if I tried to put flower-sustaining water in my sprinkle filled vases. The solution turns out to be very simple: two vases per vase. First, you'll need two vases. Pin It If you are using smallish vases, an even less expensive way to accomplish the same effect is to put a clear plastic or glass cup inside your vase. Pin It First, put some sprinkles in the bottom of the larger vase. Pin It Once you have a layer of sprinkles covering the bottom, place your second, smaller vase inside, and fill the void between the vases with sprinkles. Pin It Once you have the sprinkles sandwiched in between the two vases, you can create your floral arrangement as usual, without risking ruining the sprinkles. Pin ItI Pin It
