Well, I officially jumped on the pinterest bandwagon at the end of last summer, and have totally LOVED trying out some of the things I see on there. I have actually tried a bunch of the recipes & done a ton of things with the kiddos that I have seen on there, but yet these are the only pics I have to show of things I have done!
For Andi's b-day party, I used a pinterest turorial about how to make your own personalized cake stand using cardboard, empty cans, scrapbook paper & ribbon. I also found the idea on pinterest to actually put cupcakes in a CUP since that makes them so much easier for kids to eat. Since I was drizzing strawberries over the cupcakes, it worked out perfect!
I threw a fall themed scentsy party at my house & these were the cupcakes I made from a pinterest idea. After your cupcakes cool, you just cut the tops off with a serrated knife & then use small cookie cutters to cut your shape out. You then spread the icing in the middle of the two pieces to hold them together. You could do these for any holiday! I also made a really pretty fall cupcake stand to hold these...but I forgot to take a picture of it!!!
And, last one, I made this fun wreath for Halloween. You just gather sticks & bind them together. I used a spool of really fine metal to bind them together...and a little hot glue where needed. Then, I spray painted the whole thing black. The ribbon & sign I got at the dollar store. I am also thinking I would like to make a Christmas version. Since my door is white, I would spray paint the sticks red & then add some fun candy cane striped ribbon with maybe a green Merry Christmas sign.
Looking forward to many more pinterest creations!
