I don't like to waste, especially when I can create something cute and useful.
After making a hot pink and zebra happy birthday sign, I had some scrap paper. What to do? I decided to curl the paper and use it as table confetti.
It's real simple! I cut the paper to 1/2 - 1/4 inch wide and different lengths (3in-6in). Then I used scrapbook scissors to add some style to one side of the paper, wrapped it around a pencil, and TA DA! And of course what was cut with the scrapbook scissors became more confetti.
With Simply Events it's all in the details. It's those eye catching details that make each event unique and memorable.

Zebra Letters
I love being crafty, so when I get to do anything creative for a party I am like a gutty little kid.
I am working on a pink and zebra art party. I have done one before, but I love adding different touches to each party. For this one I am working on some hanging letters, Happy Birthday Birdie.
So I don't have a cricket, YET! So for now I am very hands on with all my projects. For letters I grab my stencils, paper, scissors, and go at it.
Cardstock and paper cutter. I love my scrapbook cutter, I use it for everything!
For this I cut the big ones at 4x4 and the small ones at 3x3. When I have made them for past parties I have done them a little bigger, 5x5 and 4x4.
After everything is cut, I use some fun scrapbooking scissors to give the edge of the small ones a little style.
Then it's glue time. The 4x4's connected to the 3x3, the 3x3's connected to the letter. And those are the bones of the sign!
For these I put one hole punch in the middle at the top and a little curling ribbon to hang.

Tea for Two

1st Birthday: Hot Pink & Zebra
Prep for Hot Pink and Zebra Party
We had the honor of hosting Brooklyn's first birthday party. They were wanting an art party with a hot pink and zebra theme. I had so much fun making the cute little things for this party. Here are a couple of the preview pics.
For the kid's table I made these cute centerpieces. One was of her initials and the other for her age.
I made tissue paper topiaries as centerpieces for the adult tables.
