Hey party friends, hope you had a fabulous Easter weekend! For me, it was a relaxed affair with the family and lots of chocolate ;) but also a time reflect and enjoy the little things in life. It's SO amazing how good it feels to take a couple of days off (properly) to enjoy cooking, eating and just taking it easy!
DIY Easter Bunny Treat Tubes for Kids
Bunny and Easter eggs crafts are not in shortage on Pinterest . But I tend to seek out EASY craft and DIY ideas that kids can help to make...or something that I can put in a ' craft kit' format for parties, like for Easter brunch. And this year, I'm giving the kiddos these cute DIY Easter Bunny candy tube kits so we can all have fun making crafting cuteness at Easter!
St Patrick's Day | DIY Pot of Gold & Rainbow Pompom
For my green & metallic tablescape I showed you here , I made some quick and easy DIY pots of gold for each table place setting. I love how simple these are to make with materials you already probably have at home , and in no time at all you have something super cute but also practical that does double-duty as table decor! ;) Kids can totally help too, and in fact, would make a cute St Paddy's Day gift for teachers and class mates too!

DIY Origami Paper Christmas Trees
When it comes to creating a table centerpiece (or any decor for that matter) that's original and inexpensive, I turn to paper! Bonus points if you can re-purpose, re-use or recycle papers you may already have around the home, like I did for my Origami Christmas Trees table centerpiece this year.
Easy DIY Autumnal Floral Centerpiece
As you saw in my Thanksgiving tablescape post here , my floral arrangement was a DIY jobbie. DIY is not only something I love, because it makes me try out new skills and ideas; but also it's often something of a necessity when I can't quite buy what I need for a particular project or photo shoot. And floral centerpieces or arrangements for me, ALWAYS fall under the 'urgh, I just can't get anything cute 'round here...' category. So DIY is the only available option :)
DIY Easy Calligraphy Thanksgiving Poster
I've had a love for beautifully handwritten notes and calligraphy since I was a child. You see, back in the days, we used to do calligraphy at school to learn how to write properly. My mom bought me these instructional books and I still remember marveling to find out that there was actually a "proper" way to write each letter! Nowadays, I'm in love with modern calligraphy. Big time!
Easy DIY Wall Art Painted Canvas
Why buy when you can DIY - that's my motto in life. So naturally, I turned to my paintbrushes when creating this large wall art canvas for my new studio bar . I wanted something big, abstract and eye catching to hang as a focal point.
DIY Ice Cream Stand Awning for Your Party
Styling a tented stand has been on my party bucket list since ever! You know, the super cute stands complete with the mandatory awning , that you can use for SO many party themes in summer and beyond?! Like lemonade stands, ice cream stations, drinks stations , circus carnival concession stand... (You name it, and chances are; you can put an awning on it!) So for my latest Coca-Cola partnership , I decided to tick it off my list.
