Birdcage Card Holder

Supplies Needed:

Bird Cage

Ribbon

Spray Paint

Flower

Embellishments

Hot Glue gun + glue

 

Instructions:

Spray paint the birdcage white. Wait a couple of hours for it to dry completely.

Wrap your ribbon around the entire cage. I chose to use a thick ribbon and a thin, sheer ribbon on top of it.

I tied them together to make a pretty bow.

I hot glued a flower to the top. Since this was for my twins baptism, I added crystal crosses to the flower and to the bow.

 

And here it is displayed at the Baptism:

Motorcycle Diaper Cake

Ok, so this was my attempt to make a cute motorcycle diaper cake for a co-worker.  Although I wouldn’t say it was a fail, it def didnt come out as cute as I thought it would!

 

Supplies needed:

8″ round cake pan

34 Diapers

2 Rubber Bands

Ribbon of your choice

Pearlhead Push Pins

Two Swaddle Blankets

Bib

Bottle

Socks or Booties (optional)

Stuffed Animal (Optional)

 

DIRECTIONS:

 

Take half of the diapers (17) and put them into a pinwheel formation in the cake pan.  You use the cake pan to hold them or else they would be everywhere!  Once you have them all in place, place a rubber band around them to secure them.  I used a thin ribbon since I had no rubber bands!  DO this twice, once for each wheel.

 

Next, place your ribbon around the “wheel” and secure with headpins.

You are now ready to assemble your wheels.  Take one of the receiving blankets and thread it thru the back wheel.  Tuck the other end to the front wheel.

For the handlebars, thread the other receiving blanket thru the front wheel.  Make it even on each side and using a rubber band or ribbon, tie together and fold each side over to make the handles.

Take your bib and place it over the fire “tire” and put the bottle under the handlebars.

It is complete!  You can add a stuffed animal on it or socks on the handlebar ends if you want.

 

 

Pretty Packaging for Your Clients

Pretty Packaging for Your Clients

I recently re-branded and ordered new packaging last year.  I added some ribbon.  It looked nice, but it was just….well, nice.  I felt it needed just a little boost.  I thought of a few ideas and decided on a final element.  A special thank you to Belle Rose Designs for these special custom made rosette flowers!  And they are not just for photo packaging either, she can make headbands and bows too!  She has so many designs and fabrics, check her out!  She also has an Etsy shop!
