DIY Cupcake Stand

We recently had my daughters 7th Birthday party. It was a Disney princess theme. We are always on a budget here, so I tried to make everything I could to save money.

One thing I wanted was something to display the cupcakes on. You can purchase the cheap cardboard stands at various retailers, but I wanted it to be themed and honestly, I didnt want to buy something that was just going to be thrown away afterwards. So I decided to browse around and see what others had done.

I ended up spending a total of 6.00 on the stand. All items came from the Dollar tree.

I purchased:
3 serving trays ( clear)
2 candle holders
1 bag of seashells

Other items used were E6000 ( or gorilla) glue

I glued the holders to the trays after filling them up with seashells. Let dry overnight and I had a cute cupcake stand! This was to go along with the Little Mermaid ( the sea) princess part!

You can fill the insides with all sorts of things! Clear or colored glass rocks, rocks, candy, confetti, paper shreds - the possibilities are endless!

These are some of the cupcakes i had left over. I also made the little toppers as well ( another post with the rest of my party supplies coming soon!)

New Years resolutions

I always say I am going to do things- and never do them. This year I have made a few goals- goals sounds like a much better word to me. One of the things is to write and post on here every day something i make, or things i find that i wanna share with someone. I wanted to start this on , you guessed it, Jan 1st lol but life just sucks lately. So today im sharing one of my goals- which was to get out of my comfort zone and push myself craft wise. In other words sew the damn patterns i have been hoarding since 2002 lol. So i am. And finding new ones to hoard as i go. Free patterns are the best. I couldnt find one for a wallet i wanted so i gave in and purchased one on etsy. The wallet is great- the person that wrote the pattern, not so great. sorry not sorry. It was not wrote well and I had to muddle through it to figure things out. But i did. ( I wont publicly list the shop etc if you can find it then good on you) I used some of my stash of mickey fabric to ...

The one with the Messenger bag

Dear. Lord When I said this bag was going to be large I really mean it is going to be large. My husband thought it was a diaper bag. Im actually working on the second one ( for a paid order) now. Its a pretty easy sew. Some oops and learning curves. BUT with some adjustments it could be a great bag. One thing is if you are using cotton for both out and in I really do suggest you use a heavier interfacing on one side for more stability. I think she used a canvas on one side. Here is the new one - Nightmare before Christmas for an order. Oh and this bag takes a lot of fabric. Not like yards but you will need a yard of each of your fabrics you use for in and out especially if you use it for pockets etc
