Customer Party- Pancakes and Pajamas

Sorry, readers, for the delay in posting new material! I've been so busy with life that everything caught up with me and the blog got put on the back burner. But I'm back with an absolutely precious rendition of my Pancakes and Pajamas party by Jenn at This Mommy Loves. I love the poms she made, and the homemade table for the little ones! Thanks, Jenn, for sharing with all of us! To purchase this invite with coordinating thank yous, visit Dimpleprints on Etsy.

Crepe Paper Rose Pom Tutorial

A customer this week sent me pictures of her Dimpleprints party and she had created these darling crepe paper poms. Thanks to the House of Smiths blog, I found a tutorial and thought I'd post it here for you all to see! Such a great idea and alternative to the typical tissue hanging poms!

Supplies Needed:

Styrofoam Ball Forms
Crepe Paper Streamers {Color of your choosing}
Glue Gun & Lots of Glue Sticks
Roll of Tape
Measuring Stick

1. Cut the crepe paper strips at 24 inches in length.

2. Crumple the strips to make them softer and more fabric looking, then straighten them out.

3. Begin to roll, starting small… and then get a little looser, like a real rose.
Periodically, about 4 or 5 turns in, put a dot of glue on the end, by your thumb, to keep it from unraveling.

4. Wind the paper around the middle base roll, and twist at the same time so that it looks MORE like a rose and LESS like a cinnamon roll. Be patient with the first few flowers. It takes a couple to get it down. But once you do… you’ll fly through them!

5. Gather the end piece of crepe paper and then add a dab of glue to the outside of the rose itself, and stick it on the edge.

6. Set it down and let the glue dry!

7. After you have a few roses done, begin gluing them to the styrofoam ball. If some roses have longer stems than others just cut off the stem so that they can sit nicely flat on the ball form.

8. Add a little puddle of hot glue on the ball, lightly press the rose on and you’re good to go! Use a roll of tape to help keep the ball from rolling around on the table. Make sure not to put the roses TOO close together or they’ll look crowded.

9. Once they are all done, use ribbon and some sewing push pins to adhere the ribbon to the ball and hang them anywhere you want!

Thanks, Samantha for your pictures and thank you Shelley from House of Smiths for your tutorial!

Sweet Cookie and Milk Inspiration Board

A sweet party idea that I love is a cookies and milk party! Use chocolate, strawberry and regular milk to play up color ideas, and put flower arrangements in "vintage" colored or clear milk bottles (super cheap at the thrift store!) to make things a little girly-er!

1. Flower in milk bottles

2. Chocolate chip cookie cake

3. Pink printed balloons

4. Martha Stewart chocolate chip cookie recipe

5. Chocolate, strawberry and white milk

6. Snickerdoodles in cute jar

7. Sweet Cookies and Milk invitation by Dimpleprints on Etsy

8. Pink flowers in turquoise milk jar
