DIY Flower Wrapped Favors

The LemonDrop Tree blog is all about bright, all about colorful, all about pretty and all about creativity. So when I saw this on the Martha Stewart site I knew I just had to share share share! These simple favors/party decorations/center pieces are easy to make and require just a few things. You will need acetate cylinders, tissue paper, and ribbon. Don't forget the candy by the way to fill the insides of the tube! To make just follow these simple easy instructions found here. These would look great with many of them grouped off together in may colors. I can imagine them on a tiered cake stand as a center piece. These would also look nice with tissue paper pom pom decorations that I blogged about awhile ago here. Pair them together for a festive look.

Handmade Sour Cream Container Favors

I know, I know, its been way toooo long since I last posted. I have been up to my ears in crafts and trying to make enough stuff to fill my etsy shop. I have been making chipboard epoxy buttons, clay buttons, clay embellishments, and more things to fill my shop. The worst part being is that I keep buying supplies that I think are cute in hopes of using it but don't get around to doing so. What does this mean? I spend more money than whats coming in!...lol! Anyhow I found this adorable craft online that I wanted to share with you my faithful readers! They are handmade sour cream containers which you can fill with goodies and hand out as favors at your next party! I love this craft because you can use all those pretty scrapbook papers and embellish at whim! I love what she has done here...the little flowers with crystal accents...too cute. If you want to make one of your own, the instructions are oh so easy! Just click here and enjoy!

Wedding Cake Pops

I LOVE to create things with my own hands! Give me scissor, paper and glue and I'll give you all the decor for your home! But sadly my talent does not extend into the kitchen (too bad for my husband!). When it comes to baking, my culinary skills are limited to a box of Betty Crocker cake mix and frosting! However I always dream of tackling a project like making a really cute wedding cake (yes I dream big!) like the topsy turvy cake seen here on my blog. But lets be real, with a 7 year old and 5 month old I am only going to be dreaming for now! So in the mean time whenever I want to look at some cute cake projects that are simple to make I always visit Bakerella's site. As I was looking through one day I found these ohhh so adorable wedding cake pops! The story behind how these came about is even cuter! It involves Bakerella's blog, these wedding cake pops, and a proposal from the fiance of one of the blog's readers! To read more and make these yourself, just click here!

Free Seed and Tea Packet Printable

So whenever I come across something cute and FREE I like to share it with all those who come to read my blog. I especially like free printables. I came across a blog by the talented Tricia-Rennea who is an illustrator and graphic designer. She designed these adorable seed and tea packets! Just print and assemble. Slip in a tea bag in one and seed or seed packet in the other and give this to your guests that come to your ladies luncheon! This would also make great favors for any other event. I love the little blue birdie illustration on these. They just "chirp" SPRING to me! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. To print your own just click here.
