Everyday Decorations

Good Morning, Everyone!  I’m Kelly from The Party Dress and WH Hostess – and I am so pleased to be here as your guest hostess today!

We are in that funny time of year – some days it’s snowing and feels very much “winter” – and other days, it’s hitting 60 degrees, the sun is shining and my Spring fever is definitely blooming!  I start to crave fresh flowers, and colorful decorations – and I look for creative ways to make my house look festive (even if there is still snow on the ground!).

Today, I am going to show you a darling do-it-yourself project from The Purl Bee.  These colorful garlands are simple to make, easy to customize to any party theme/color palette, and are a fresh addition to any party!

dots introHead over to The Purl Bee for the full instructions on how to create these colorful garlands.  It’s amazing how some colorful circles can end up looking like this:

Circle GarlandDarling, right?!  And here’s a thought…..instead of using felt circles, you could cut out ovals and make the garland look like colorful eggs for an upcoming Easter brunch!

Dress up your Easter Table

Easter is only a few weeks away, so I thought I’d throw some inspiration your way to help you dress up your Easter table.

Start your easter table off with a fun centerpiece that you can get your kids to help you with!  These candy topiaries that I found over at Porter House Designs are sure to be eye candy for your easter guests. (She’s got other easter centerpiece ideas too!)

I’ve personally made the topiary that uses suckers (for a baby shower). It’s easy and the kids were totally able to help me. I actually also added fabric within the suckers to add even more color and dimension. I just used a pencil to push the fabric into the styrofoam ball.

I found this super cute napkin idea over at MarthaStewart.com

She’s got detailed instructions with pictures on her blog…but here is the cliff’s notes version:
1. Fold starched napkin into thirds.

2. Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold top corners down along this line.

3. Fold up from bottom corners along dotted lines.

4. Bring left and right edges together on center line.

5. Flip upside down and over. Turn up bottom point.

6. To fasten: Fold left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the
pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up base.
