DIY Crepe Paper Flowers Bouquet

DIY Crepe Paper Flowers Bouquet

Remember the giant paper roses I made for this shoot ? Well, these area  smaller version of the roses but using crepe paper instead and making them into a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day (weddings too or any other occasion you fancy!) They are so pretty, long-lasting, and easy to make, and are the perfect gift or craft for kids to get involved in (with a little supervision of course, as there are wire cutters involved!).  My daughter LOVED crafting with me on the weekend; and as a proud mom (not ashamed to say) I just couldn't help myself and took some extra shots of my precious,  pretty in pink baby ♥

DIY Easter Bunny Push-up Pops Party Centerpiece

DIY Easter Bunny Push-up Pops Party Centerpiece

As always, I love finding novel ways to use party printables, and   this is how these little Easter  B unny Push-up Pops came about. I had some  printable bunny cupcake wrappers left from my  Easter Kids' Egg Hunt Party photo shoot, and couldn't bear to throw them out, so I got my trusty puncher out and few supplies, and voila - Easy and super quick Easter Push-Pop Centerpiece that doubles as party favors holder. Life doesn't get sweet that that for a party nerd like me! :)

DIY No-Sew Easy Plush Paper Flowers

DIY No-Sew Easy Plush Paper Flowers

These Plush Flowers, believe it or not; are  made from paper napkins and super quick to make too! They are a variation on my plush fabric flowers that I shared here . Don't they just look so cute?! AND they do not require any sewing , nor a lot of time - The idea came to me when styling our recent  Easter Garden Party . I really wanted to use pastel colored plush flowers, but did not have the time nor disposition to get out my sewing kit, and wondered if the technique would work with paper. Well, it did - Just proves again how necessity (or laziness) really is the mother of all invention! ;) Get the full step-by-step below...

And of course you can use or add other candies too, and start a little rebellion all of you own! Check out the steps below...

DIY and Sparkly Heart Soap Handmade Gift

My husband is not a sweet kinda guy. I'm mean, he's very sweet as a husband, he just doesn't like eating sweet things. So my baking cookies or cakes on Valentine's Day is wasted on him. This is why handmade, cute, scented, sparkly, heart-shaped LOVE soap is the perfect DIY gift for him! But if the words handmade soap  sound scary, then fear not - I'm using 'Melt and Pour' Soap base, so it's super quick and easy! ;)
