[birthday week] candy bouquets

>> Friday, March 16, 2012 – birthday week, par-tay

here's a fun gift for that hard to buy for someone.

a candy bouquet.

you can cater these to men, women and children of all ages.

they also make a really fun way to give a gift card!

here's what you'll need:

-a container. our white one came from michaels and the cups came from walmart's party section.

-floral foam.

-low temp glue gun.

-skinny sticks. grabbed mine at walmart, but i saw them at michaels as well.

-candy.

-crinkled paper shreds.

-gift card. (optional)

the steps:

-put your floral foam into your container.

-take your skinny sticks and glue them to the backs of your candy.

-then just start sticking them in. play around with it. have fun. (don't over think it like i did at first)

-tuck your crinkled shreds around the base of the sticks and behind the candy. don't forget the back too.

-add a gift card if you'd like.

these are actually really fun to make.

and a pretty cheap, but fun way to give a gift card.

especially these little ones below.

i'll take mine with just a bunch of York peppermint patties please! :)

[birthday week] kid's birthday cards

>> Thursday, March 15, 2012 – birthday week

one thing i'd rather not spend my money on for a kid's birthday.... is the card.

they are so stinking expensive!!

so for under a buck we put together a couple cards that we think most kids would enjoy receiving.

hope you have an amazing birthday!

-download your 4x6 card from HERE (or 2 on a sheet HERE)
-print at home or at a photo center.
-we backed ours in a piece of white cardstock about a half inch longer and wider than the card. you could also fold a sheet of cardstock in half to make a traditional folded card and then attach the download to the front.
-we took our 25 cent maze that we found at Party City and backed it with a black scalloped circle and glued it to the card.
-sign your name and it's all ready to go.

i hope your birthday rocks

-download your 4x6 card from HERE (or 2 on a sheet HERE).
-print at home or at a photo center.
-we backed ours in a piece of white cardstock about a half inch longer and wider than the card. you could also fold a sheet of cardstock in half to make a traditional folded card and then attach the download to the front.
-use glue dots to attach the pop rocks. we found this size pop rocks at Party City - 3 for $1. wrap some twine around and tie a bow.
-sign your name and it's ready to go.

once you gather the supplies you can whip up a bunch of these in no time at all.

and for so super cheap! that works for me! :)
