Rainbow Unicorn Party

It was a magical day at Harper's Rainbow Unicorn Party.  Big props to our family and friends for making it such a great day for her.  Here are some of the highlights:

Rainbow Unicorn Decorations

Paint chip rainbow...Not tricky & super inexpensive diy project.  I made a foam board covered with paint chips and finished it off with two white pom pom clouds. 

Keeping with the paint chips, I made some cupcake toppers & wrap keeper togetherers.  Yup, that's a word.  

                                 

                                               

Paint chip utensil holders...two paint chips hot glued together with a white unicorn were free since I had the utensils and white card stock at home already.  

 Using crepe paper streamers from the Dollar Tree, I fancied up the tables.  My helpers supervised from below the table.

 Melted crayon art...it was our first attempt, but it ended up super cute!

Unicorn handbands...just in case you don't have a rainbow t-shirt in your closet.   I found Ashley's Crafts which has a bunch of cute templates for animal headbands.  I used those as a starting point to sketch a horn and ears.  

Rainbow Unicorn Party Activities

Using leftover baby food jars as crayon holders, guests were invited to color their own rainbows using half of a paper plate.

Unicorn races...I have a tendency to make other work for people.  This was no exception.  My mother in law made these super amazing unicorns and ponies for our races.  The pattern came from Craftsy for only $6.50!  

The racers lining up.  

Remember how I said I made work for other people?  Got my mom and aunt sewing gold medals for the race contestants!

 We modified a medal idea I found here.  The posting was all about Olympics which is totally perfect timing with the upcoming games.

Now just some super cute pictures I love...

DIY: Crayon Art

My first attempt at crayon art.

Harper's 3rd birthday is coming up and since I'm on vacation I should have lots of time to get all of my projects completed.  Ha!  Guess who else is on vacation...my two fabulous helpers.  Today we worked on some crayon art for the upcoming Magical Rainbow Unicorn Party.

Here's how we made ours...

DIY Ombre Valentine's Day

I heart everything ombre.  I've compiled some of my favorite diy stuff from the internet to use for Valentine's Day.  Best part of the versatility of the color palette is it lets me work in all sorts of shades of red and pink.

A DIY project for ya from Green Wedding Shoes...a darling backdrop.

A butter cream ombre cake with tutorial from Bubble and Sweet.

Or this yummy alternative.  I adore that the inside and outside have shades of pink.  Glorious Treats made this super cute cake.

A floral centerpiece that falls into the category of "Oh, I Could Totally Do That" and then I cry after three hours of trying to get it perfect from Hindsight Bride.

This is more my speed.  If you may a bunch of these babies with different shades, they'd so fit with the theme.

This Save the Date card could make a super sweet Valentine's Day card.  Find the tutorial at Green Wedding Shoes.
