Hi, my name is Katie and I'm absolutely thrilled to be sharing this first post with you! For the past few years, Melissa and Kellie have encouraged me to share several of my DIY projects on this beautiful blog. I am truly honored that they have asked me to contribute a new monthly column entitled 'Create & Celebrate.' Nothing inspires me more than when I am asked to design something handmade for a special occasion, or to create party goods for a unique theme. I hope to provide a bit of inspiration to help you create memories and celebrate the sweet moments in life! So, let's get to it!
A week after Easter, I am still finding plastic eggs all over my house! Many of them seem to be missing one half or the other once they have been emptied of the treat inside. This project turns some of your extra egg inventory into a cake stand for your little ones!
{You will also need glue gun/glue and paint if you choose.}
1. Glue the medium egg half onto the center of the bottom of your plate
2. Glue the mini egg on top of the large egg half
3. Glue the two pieces together. Be generous with the glue to fill in any gaps.
{Paint if you would like with spray paint and a non-toxic top coat.}
*We recommend using only play sweet treats with this cake stand, but it would be fun to use these as part of a centerpiece too!
Ruffle Garland Giveaway
I love incorporating handmade items into a celebration that can be used each year, played with, or even used as decor after the party. If you have seen some of my past projects it appears I might be a bit obsessed with ruffles, so I thought it would be fitting to give away a pink ruffle garland similar to those I made for Melissa's sweet girls' birthday party a few years ago. To enter, please leave a comment below telling us how you would use the garland. We will pick a winner at random on Friday. I can't wait to read your ideas!
**Please be sure to check back April 12th to see if you are the winner**
This is for one pin ruffle garland and the item will be shipped within 5 days of winning.
