Graduation party- printable collection May 10, 2011

I was contacted by Jessica to create cupcake toppers and other party supplies for her sister’s high school graduation. Jenni’s church is having a graduation party for all the seniors. Each senior gets their own table and has to bring snacks and decorate it however they would like. How lovely is that idea? Here are the cupcake toppers that I’ll be offering in the store. I have purposely used Times New Roman font! The old stand-by font we all grew up with.

The request for personalized cupcake toppers got me thinking about other party supplies that would make a big impact when decorating a table.

I love water bottle wrappers. They make a big impact with not much effort!

And if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I am obsessed with personalized chocolate bar wrappers that double up as keepsakes. I make them every year for my kid’s birthdays and keep the wrapper. I also send the personalized chocolate bars to family that couldn’t be at the party. So, of course, I had to make Jenni some chocolate bar wrappers that she could use as table favors. Don’t these look great?

The wrappers are personalized with the school name, the school’s team (in Jenni’s case- the Panthers), and the name of the graduate. Of course, the wrappers feature the school colors!

Know someone who is graduating? Need some unique and fun party decorations? I can customize the cupcake toppers, the water bottle wrappers and the chocolate bars to meet your school colors! Jennis’ school colors are dark green and black; however, she wanted a splash of purple so that the party supplies reflect her personal tastes! Here is a color chart of standard school colors however, I can of course use other shades.

Tutorial: The Silk Flower March 17, 2011

You will need:

Silk flower

Lined double prong alligator clip

Hot Glue

Rhinestone Embellishment (optional)

 

Step 1

Cut the stem off the flower. Discard the plastic green “crown” so that all your have are the leaves.

Cut stem off the flower

Step 2

Separate each layer. We are going to glue these on the alligator clip, one layer at a time. We’ll start with the bottom layer and work our way to the top (smallest) layer.

Separate each layer

Step 3

Put hot glue on the alligator clip and on the largest layer of the silk flower.

Step 4

Press the flower on the alligator clip and hold to the count of 10.

Step 5

Repeat with all the additional layers.

Step 6

Once all the flower layers are glued on the clip in a stack, take your embellishment and glue it in the middle of the flower. If you don’t have an embellishment, you can use the ‘center’ of the flower and that’ll give you a more ‘natural’ look.

Enjoy! And be creative:)
