Simple Baby Shower Table Decoration

My sister had a baby last year, and I was tasked with decorating for it. I looked around and came up with this really cool display. 

How to Make a Simple Baby Shower Display



This project was a little out of character for me, because I actually bought the foam balls. Normally, I would only use what I have on hand. I just couldn't come up with an alternative to the foam balls. 

List of Supplies For Table Decoration:


It didn't take much to put this idea together. This is what I used to create my table decoration. 

-glass bowl
-white foam balls (different sizes)
-rubber duck
-light blue tissue paper
-shiny blue tissue paper

I stuffed some of the light blue tissue paper into the glass bowl. Then I put white foam balls in the bowl to look like bubbles. The rubber duck sits on the top. Under the bowl I put a piece of shiny blue tissue paper. 

I hope this works out for you and that you find what you need to make this simple decoration.

Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea- Snowman Wrap

I had to come up with a thank you gift a few weeks ago for about 35 volunteers. It needed to be inexpensive and not take long to make. Here is what I came up with.

Snowman Face Wrapped Around Hot Chocolate

Most people love hot chocolate right? I decided to make the packaging look a bit more festive. You can see the pictures of how to make a snowman wrap around your snack of choice. This works well with packets of tea, bags of popcorn, or any thin package. 





I hope this idea helps you finish off your last minute Christmas shopping.

DIY Maleficent Costume

Last weekend I dressed up like Maleficent. There are some challenging things to putting this costume together. I think you can wear just about anything you like as long as you have the horns down.

How to Put Together A Maleficent Costume


You need an all black outfit. Look at the newest Maleficent movie to see what Angelina Jolie is wearing. That will give you great inspiration. 

I wore a long dress and had a black cape. I also made my own horns. It took some doing, but I successfully put them together. You can go HERE to read what I did to make my horns. 

How to Do The Makeup 

I'm not the best at doing makeup. I watched a video tutorial to help me out with my look. You need to have black eye shadow and red lipstick as the main two pieces of makeup. 

The tutorial said to use false eyelashes. I did not use those for my look. Instead, I applied several layers of mascara. 

Have fun this year. Hope you figure out how to make your own DIY Maleficent Halloween costume.
