Tea Party Treat Boxes

I am co hosting a Tea Party with Friends this week.  We are expecting between 50-70 senior friends. I wanted to make a simple treat for them to take home.

Its a simple box made from 1/2 sheet of paper.  I printed the text in Word and used a circle, scallop and butterfly punch. Inside I put two tea bags and some chocolate.

Tea Party Pictures

I hosted three tables at a senior tea party today.  My friend Daphne Hallman (aka Dazzling Daphne) was kind enough to teach me the art of creating a table scape.  I learned it is all about the layers.  I created handmade gifts for each place setting and everything turned out really nice.

Today I was approached by several people asking about where I got my Jewelry (Beautiful Necklace).  I am amazed at how much Jewelry can change an outfit.  If you are interested in getting your wardrobe "blinged out" like I did my tables get in touch with Dazzling Daphne.

Happy Mother's Day!

Tea Party Sneak Peak

 The Senior Tea Party is today and here is a sneak peak of a few items i made for each place setting.  I will post additional pictures this weekend of the finished tables.

 My friend andrea helped me come up with this idea for mint holders.  This is how I made them.



1. My husband cut PVC pipe 1 3/4"
2. I covered with decorative paper3. I glued a plastic wine cup (without the base) onto  PVC.  Best Glue E-6000
4.  I tied a Tulle Knot around the base of the cup
5.  I filled with bible verse mints
I also made a second version using the paper flowers.
Thanks Andrea!




For the dessert plates I glued a poem onto a doily.  My friend Linda helped me find the poem and edit it on the computer. My Friend Rona cut pink circles with my gypsy and glued onto a paper doily.
Thanks so much Linda and Rona!

The Poem says:
Just put the kettle on to boil and have a cup of tea, Then sit down in your favorite chair and cozy up with me!  Today you don't need sugar, I really want to say, You sweeten everything you touch, Have a Happy Mothers Day!

I will post pictures of the tea party soon!
Happy Mothers Day!

Flower Power Napkin Ring

I am sponsoring three tables for a mothers day tea at a local senior community on Saturday.  I have been creating decorations for the tables using things from my stash.  I had left over silk flowers and decided to alter them to make flowers for the napkin rings.
Here's how I made them.
1.  My husband cut PVC pipe (medium thickness) into 1 1/2" pieces.
2.  I sanded the sides to make them smooth.
3.  I put a strip of red double sided tape down each side of the PVC pipe.
4.  I covered with decorative paper strip (1 1/2" x 6")
5.  I made the flowers using pieces from the silk flowers and 3 scalloped punched paper circles.

6.  I crinkled up the scallops circles and then unfolded them.
7.  I punched a hole in the center of all three scallops.
8.  I inserted a brad through the 3 paper scallops and the 4 silk layers.
9.  I crinkled up the paper to form the inside of the flower.
10.  I glued two leaves and the flower to the paper covered PVC piece.

They came together very quickly.  I will send pictures of the finished tables.
Thanks for stopping by.
