I can't say enough about Maria, Kristina, and Roxana, the women at MKR Creations. I met two of them at the CPN So Cal meetup and they are lovely and so creative.
They created this adorable candy tree topiary for their Y's Diapers and Wipes Shower using Smarties Pops and marshmallow rope. I just love it.
I'd never seen this before, where you cut out circles of polyester satin, lightly burn the edges with a candle so they curl into petals, and attach them together to make gorgeous flowers, have you?
Well, here's a tutorial from Lina of Fancy Frugal Life that takes it a step further and turns the flowers into a beautiful wreath. Take a look...
I had never seen fabric pom poms before until I saw these gorgeous ones Victoria L made for her Pinkalicious Party. What I love about them is the added level of sophistication it brings to her party decor.
It turns out they're not hard to make, and you just need a few supplies. But they can be a little time consuming depending on the size of the pom pom, so be warned. :)
Nicole W doesn't just throw incredible parties, she also makes incredible desserts.
When Nicole offered to put together a tutorial on how she made the mini lemon tartlets from her Secret Garden Baby Shower, I got very excited. Take a look at this photo and you will see why... just gorgeous!
I'm always looking for new variations on cake pops, so when I saw these donut hole apple pops at Christina S's Back to School Dinner, I needed to know how she made them.
Turns out they're quite quick to make (a nice alternative when you're in a rush), and look how much they add to a back to school celebration like Christina's.
Clemens B's sister-in-law created these amazing paper baby shoe favors for her baby shower, and now she has created this easy tutorial with a FREE downloadable baby shoe template.
To create these shoe favors, all you need are scissors, glue, paper, embellishments, and some good cutting skills. That's it!
Maria D made this adorable DIY birthday wreath for her daughter's Puppy Party.
Using gift bows she spotted at the Dollar Store, a grapevine wreath she had painted for another project, and a letter "A" she had saved from another decoration, she came up with this idea for a pretty birthday wreath to welcome her guests.
I last featured Pamela S's Aly's "I Love Art" Party in a recent party on a budget post. She threw the whole party for $100 and one of the ways she did it, was to make her own favors.
For the little kids she made homemade "art supply" favors (I know, great!), and for the older kids, she made these chocolate painters' palettes. So cute. Well, here's how...
I've seen a lot of cake banners, but never something quite like this. So when I found this korker cake banner tutorial Tricia from Sweeter Than Sweets put together, I had to ask her if I could repost it.
These cake banners are so easy to make, I look forward to seeing them pop up on our main site.
When I saw this photo from Jennifer T's All American BBQ, I thought what cute hamburger cupcakes. Then I found out they weren't cupcakes at all, but hamburger COOKIES! I've never seen this before, so I asked Jennifer if she'd put together a tutorial... And here it is! Thank you, Jennifer!
First off, there is only one rule before I share this with you...When you make these and someone asks you if they were hard to make, we are to always say YES ;) I mean if we are going to "slave" away in the kitchen for a few minutes (yes, I said a few minutes is all at it will take to make these) then we are going to get some appreciation :) LOL
