Fiesta Paper Flowers

Last week Mel hosted a bridal shower for one of her friends. This time the theme was Fiesta, so we gathered our ideas and made it come to life. Here I will show you how to make the paper flowers we used to display at the party.  

The first step is to take four sheets of tissue paper and fold it accordion style.

At about two inches from the edge, staple the fold.

At both ends cut a scalloped design to give the flower petals.

Gently separate each piece of paper from the rest.

Lift up the rest from the other end.

Repeat each step until you have four.

Grab a paper plate and use your glue gun to start gluing each part together. 

You will end up with a nice puffy flower

For easy hanging, I punched two holes on both the bottom and top of the plate. I then threaded a piece of string though and tied the ends.

You can use the same technique and experiment with different colors and sizes. 

This was the final look for the party. These flowers make an awesome background for pictures. Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the Fiesta Bridal Shower.

Bridal Shower Decor

Last month we decorated a dear friend's bridal shower. We wanted it to be simple and elegant. We really enjoyed making many of the décor pieces. Here's a look at how it all turned out:

Our centerpieces consisted of golden books with mason jar flower bouquets.

The treat table was made up of many small details that brought the look all together. We wanted it to be fairytale inspired so we added a rose under a dome.

These Oreo pops were very simple to make and went great with the theme. 

Finally the cake I made a great centerpiece for the treat table.

We hope this post inspires you to create your own décor pieces for a bridal shower.

Oreo Pops Diy

  

 

Lately there has been a trend of cake pops, which I think are super cute. However they can be a little complicated to make. Oreo Pops are a super-fast and easy alternative to cake pops which also look cute and are perfect for any party.

We made these for one of my best friends bridal shower, and not only did they add a cute, elegant touch to our desert table, but they were also a huge success.

Here is what you will need:

Oreos

Candy melts in your choice of color

Cake pop sticks

Sprinkles of your choice

 

Start by melting the candy melts as directed in the package in the microwave. Make sure you are using a plastic spoon to mix the candy melts and make sure you don’t over heat them.  We used both pink and white candy melts because those were the colors of the bridal shower.

Next open up your Oreo, make sure to do it slowly, you don’t want to break the cookie.

Then add a little bit of the candy melt in the middle of the cream section of your cookie and place the stick on top of it. Then carefully place the other half of the cookie back into place

And you are done! It's super easy and fast to make.
