Ladybug-themed Baby Shower

 Ladybug-themed Baby Shower


The baby shower, this past Saturday, was a huge success. The decorations were simply beautiful, if I say so myself. I used as much recycled items I could - cost effective and saved money!!! 

With plastic and boxes, you can make a lot of your own decorations on a budget. Plus, I implemented a lot of items from Dollar Tree to transform into simple and beautiful decorations. 



















I had so much fun making the decorations for my daughter-in-law and son. I had put together 8 games with prizes that I made and/or bought. I made ladybug bendable pens and cotton washcloths that everyone enjoyed receiving. 


I made this super cute ladybug for the food table from a clear bowl from the Dollar Tree. How cute is this????


Overall, it was a wonderful day celebrating the upcoming arrival of my 5th grandchild. 

Happy Crafting,

Toilet Paper Roll Craft

 Toilet Paper Roll Craft

I love reusing and recycling anything and everything. For this craft project, I used toilet paper rolls.  It was very easy and turned out so pretty to use as a small gift box for trinkets. 

First, I flattened the roll.  Then, I glued across the bottom of one end to close up. I used craft glue.  At the top, I slowly and carefully, eyeballed cut a semi-circle on the front piece of the roll. (See pictures)

Now, it’s just about decorating. You can use paint, paper, buttons, small charms - anything you want!!!! 





Simple and fun craft project for all ages. 

Happy Crafting!!!
