My son is obsessed with Lego. It's what he asks for every birthday. So when I heard the movie was coming out this year (movie release in most countries February 7th), I couldn't pass the chance to style a little something to celebrate! So this week, we're taking a breather from all things Valentine, and have loads of fabulous Lego inspired party ideas and tutorials to share on the blog. Starting today, with a DIY Lego Inspired Party Pinata + a fun blog hop with some awesome party bloggers!
In-keeping with yesterday's cute as button theme, I'm sharing how to make these super adorable cotton reel place-holder cards . They'd make fun photo holders too, don't you think? I used them for the Paris craft show (see on Instagram here) last week, but you could totally change the thread to suit your occasion. I'm thinking raffia instead of the wool for Thanksgiving , or twine for a crafty party, or even lace or ribbon for a sewing themed bash or bridal shower!
