Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 39

Pinterest to the rescue! Tomorrow is my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday and we’re throwing a fiesta! 🙂 I’m in charge of the photo booth props. Good thing Pinterest has everything I need. A quick search yielded a free printable perfect for the event. It’s geared toward Cinco de Mayo, but I’ll discard any piece reflecting that.

Then that pin led me to this festive sign…

Off to Hobby Lobby to get supplies. Happy crafting! Until next post…xoxo Becca

Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 6

TGIF! Last week I shared a recipe for the Churro Cupcakes I made for our Cinco de Mayo party. Today I wanted to share a quick tutorial on making tissue paper flowers which I used to decorate our front door. So fun and festive!

What you need:
  • tissue paper (bought at Party City for $4.00)
  • scissors
  • pipe cleaners (optional)
  • stapler (not pictured)

Pick 5-6 pieces

Fold them together accordion style.

Staple in the middle. Since I was attaching my flowers to the decorative wrought iron on my front door I also added a pipe cleaner.

Cut the ends to give the flower some shape, then fluff! Be gentle or the tissue paper will tear.

I’m so glad I made these because it set the tone for the party from the start. To make the smaller flowers I cut the tissue paper in half before folding.
It’s not a party without a margarita!

My neighbor always has the best hats!
Until next post…xoxo Becca
