Valentine Treat Table
The PTO Executive Committee and myself planned and put together a Valentine treat table for the staff of the school.
We provided chocolate covered strawberries, brownie bites, chocolate covered pretzels, kisses, red hots, twizzlers and pink lemonade.
The inspiration for this table and the free printables that made it possible were found here:
(The printables I used are no longer available but this site is full of wonderful ideas)
Rag Garland Tutorial
When planning my daughter Riley's first birthday party I wanted a unique banner or garland to hang on our fireplace. I saw these rag garlands used in holiday decor on various blogs and decided to try my hand at making one. I used them on the mantle, on the high chair and over the punch bowl.
If you love them as much as I do, here's how to make your own.
What you will need: fabric, twine, ruler, scissors (or pinking shears)
First decide where you will hang your garland and how long it will need to be. Measure out a piece of twine in that length. I add a few inches to each end and add a knot for hanging.
Next choose your fabric. This is a great project to use up your fabric "stash". You could also incorporate ribbon into your garland. For my cupcake party garland I cut my fabric into 9x2 strips but you could vary this depending upon the look you want.
Now begin tying your fabric strips onto your twine. Just a single knot, pulled tight. As you tie, push the strips to one end of the garland. Personally I prefer a random look but you could also add strips in a pattern.
Note: For this project it took 10 strips to complete 3 inches of garland.
These rag garland are a fun and inexpensive addition to any party or holiday decor.
