Scrapbooking #1

I have been on a major scrapbooking kick lately! On a roll I guess.. haha! I have a TON of pictures printed that are just sitting in a box. So slowly but surely I will get them all scrapbooked and lookin' good! I just wanted to share a few of the ones I have completed recently. A variety! I figured I would share them on here, maybe for a few layout ideas. I went for a very simple layout plan on all of them. Minimal stickers and fun background pages! I purchased most of the background pages from Walmart. I will do a post in the next few days specifically on the paper packets I bought from Walmart.

I am currently working on more and will share them soon!

 

DIY Party Hats

I originally made these party hats for my nephews 2nd birthday party that was Spongebob themed. However... I decided not to use them at the party, because well.. to be honest... I felt a little out of place doing so. I wasn't the one throwing the birthday party so I decided to just leave them home and save them for a rainy day I guess. ha. But I still wanted to share them. I only used construction paper to make these and a thin elastic string from my beading kits. 

I rolled a piece of construction paper to make a cone. Then I trimmed the bottoms of the cones to make them flat. I glued them shut and added eyes, nose, eye brows, etc. It was really that easy! For Spongebob himself, I used a yellow sharpie marker to draw on his sponge pores. But other than that these hats are all paper!

I put a layer on Matte Modge Podge over the entire thing after I glued on the eyes and facial features, etc. Just to seal it. And the Modge Podge also added some durability to the hats. Made them a little stronger. This was fun and easy and cheap. I like cheap! :) 

One thing that I really love about these DIY party hats are that the possibilities are ENDLESS! You can do any type of party theme and make your own hats to match perfectly!

I will defiantly be making more DIY party hats in the future!
