So the first thing on the board is a tissue pom-pom that I made using a Martha Stewart tutorial, the picture is bad I know (I forgot to get a good shot of this one). To make it I folded about 14 pieces of tissue paper like an accordion, trimmed the ends, stapled the middle and fold it in half, then I started to open the layers like a fan... sorry this is a horrible explanation - I would make it a link but I don't know how?
The second one is a place card for one of our fun drinks Piña Colada (virgin of course) I drew the pretty shape on photoshop, printed it, cut it and placed it onto a cute pattern card with sticky foam squares to give it the raised look.
The third item on the left, I made out of a plastic cup filled with newspaper. Then I wrapped it with paper towel so the color of the cup wouldn't show through the tissue paper. After the paper towel I cut two squares of tissue paper and wrapped it around the cup and secured it with ribbon. Then I inserted the flowers (from Micheals for $1) and added the gift wrapping shred for the finish touch.
The purple cups, all I did to this one was wrap a thin ribbon around it and placed the little cheer tags on top. For the cheer tags I just printed a bunch of cheer words in pink on to white cardstock and cut them in rectangles, then I made the back layer out of pink cardstock with a punch and glue them together.
The napkins. I folded them to look like a rectangle and tied ribbon around it.
And thats all!
Oh and here are some pictures from the party.... Happy Birthday Mom!
