DIY Cupcake Stand

 
 
I made these cupcake stands and cupcakes for gifts to give the girls at work... but wouldn't they be fun for place holders, or party favors? ...
 

 
Easy peasy instructions...
 
1. Buy saucers that have a cute shape at a thrift store..the cheaper the better!
2. Buy glass candlesticks from dollar store (yes seriously.. only a dollar each.. YAY)
3. Paint saucer and candlestick (my paint of choice is Rust-oleum for all of my painting needs, I think I have one can of every color...and about 10 black :) )
 
 
4. Once the paint on both the saucer and candlestick are completely dry, glue the saucer to the candlestick using epoxy or other strong glue.
5. Bake cupcakes (I chose red velvet because it went with my color scheme, I'm a little crazy like that) in king size muffin tin (I got my tin from Hobby Lobby).
6. Double up the cupcake papers for a ruffly look.
7. Tie ribbon in a simple knot around cupcake.
8. Frost cupcake with white frosting of choice. (I chose whipped cream cheese frosting yum!)
 

 
9. Sprinkle with coconut
10. Use a punch or cut your own little snow flakes to add to the top of the cupcake (the punch I used is from Martha Stewart) along with printable of your choice (feel free to download mine above and resize if you'd like)
 

 
11. Add the finishing touches to the plate with a white doily and the cute chunky peppermint sticks for a pop of color!
 

 
My friend from work is going to make these in pink for a tea party she is having with her granddaughters after Christmas... won't that be adorable?

Candy Coated Christmas Party

 
This little Candy Coated Christmas party from Celebrations at Home was too cute not to share. They decorated Christmas trees made from ice cream cones and wrote letters to Santa. My favorite details? The snowman milk jars and the snow man marshmallow on the edge of the mugs for hot cocoa :) What a darling party!!

Christmas Gift Wrap Party

 
Suzanne from Our Southern Nest has a fun idea to take the chore out of gift wrapping for the holidays. Gather all your girl friends and have a gift wrapping party! (or maybe it's just an excuse to have a GIRL'S NIGHT, but either way, sounds like fun!!)

Neapolitan Ice Cream Party


There are so many ways to take a party theme and make it just a little bit different. For instance, this ice cream party over at Little Sooti. They took the general ice cream theme and made it a little more specific, Neapolitan ice cream! Being a little more specific created a super cute color scheme that was carried through the party decor and even the birthday girl's outfit! A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.!

I love the old fashioned sweet shop look!

Even the flower arrangements look like ice cream cones and sundaes!
