Revamp Birthday CrownLast year, I made a birthday crown for my little one's 1st birthday. Now she's turning 2 soon. I saved the hat, and just revamped it to look new this year.
40th Birthday Posters and PhotosI was looking for some creative ways to display photos of my husband as decorations for his 40th birthday party. I created these large posters using Photoshop and had them printed at Costco. I decided that after the party I would use them at home so I also invested in frames for them.
Record Table CenterpieceI threw an 80s themed birthday for my husband's 40th birthday party. I was looking for a simple table centerpiece idea and wanted it to incorporate vinyl records.
Birthday Balloon and Streamer CurtainI decided to surprise my son on his birthday by hanging this curtain of balloons and streamers from his doorframe. I just used to tape to hang the balloons from curling ribbon and strips of paper streamers. When he opened his door in the morning he got a face full of "birthday cheer"!
Present CenterpieceFor my high school reunion, I made a centerpiece using a few stacked "presents" wrapped in graduation-themed paper and ribbon in our school colors. My presents were empty, but you could put anything you want in them, especially if the party is for an individual.
Use Gumballs In CenterpiecesDecorate with gumballs and it will be a hit. I filled the base of the vase with gumballs and then added the rest of the florals and feathers. Fun, fun for any event.
CD Cake Toppers Or CenterpiecesI decided to recycle old scratched up or non-useable CDs. So I made these into centerpieces and cake toppers and sell them for extra money. Each one is different and one of a kind or sometimes I have doubles of some figurines.
Love Bug Diaper CakeThis is my 2nd diaper cake. A "Love Bug" cake. I made it for a friend at work. I used; 56 rolled up diapers, receiving blankets, baby rattles & such, washcloths, a love bug to top it off & lots of curling ribbon for color. She loves it.
Floral Graduation CenterpiecesI made topiaries using silk flowers in the school colors. (Real flowers would be great too.) The silks had long, thick stems and I tied them 3/4 of the way to the blooms with ribbon in a school color also.

"Gerber" Baby Favors for 1st Birthday PartyFor my daughter's first birthday party, I made her into the "Gerber" baby by creating new "labels" for the jars. I started with a Word document and inserted a picture of her from my Kodak files.
Seashore Candle CenterpieceI wanted to make a centerpiece for the island in my kitchen since I rarely use it for anything else other than placing my keys, wallet and other little things on it when I come home in the evenings.
