new year. new you?
well i dunno about that,
but i do know there are new babies in the air!
only cuz i am helping out
with my friend's daughter's baby shower.
she asked me for help and of course
i said yes then she said
there are 75 guests coming!
yikes!
i better get busy huh?
well, i did and this is what
i came up with first:

so do you wanna know how i made it?
no?
oh well, i'm gonna show you anyway. lol
here's some of the stuff i got from michael's.

but first you gotta do this:

then grab some hot glue and,

vase face is done with baby headband and all.
wasn't that easy?
let's do the inside now.




and so you are done with little miss baby.
or are you?
i wanted some height on these so i searched and saw those tulle balloons
on pinterest with no tutorial
so i made one up myself.
here ya go:

the sides get all funky if you use
just enough tulle to cover when you
try to wrap the balloon.
just use the hot glue (low temp) to pat
the sides down and all is good.



and OoOoOOooOoo
you are all done.

new year. new babies.
new ooo's and ahhh's.
hopefully.
Oh Lisa, this is just precious! What a great addition to the table décor, I am in love!
ReplyDeleteoh thank you so much Kim! they came out better than what i envisioned. probably cuz my baby face i drew was a lopsided circle?! LOL ;)
DeleteLove, love, love! And you could change it up to blue if it's a boy! That tulle/balloon idea is marvy! (uh oh, showing my age) All in all, another winner from my BBFF! Happy New Bab....er Year!!!
ReplyDeleteand your comment is marvy Dona! LOL i was thinking if it was a boy i would put a bow tie on it and use grass and sports pennants or something more masculine instead of flowers...? although these days anything goes! lol (i like the old days better sometimes) happy babe new year to you too my BBFF! :>D

thank you Linda! it's awful hard to find a centerpiece that doesn't cost an arm or leg when you gotta buy a bunch of them :)
DeleteThis is a great craft to make for someone who's home sick or someone living in a nursing home. You could change some of the decorations to match holidays as well. Thanks for sharing at the Over the Moon Link Party.
ReplyDeletehey i never even thought of that Sandy! it would be a room brightener indeed :) thank you!
DeleteLisa, This is so original, unique, and adorable! I am sure they were the talk of the party. 😊
