DIY: Crepe Paper Banner

Need a simple & inexpensive and fast party decoration?

Make yourself a good old fashioned crepe paper banner!

I'll be honest, when I think of crepe paper twisted from the ceiling, sometimes I cringe. 

I have bad memories of faded light pink crepe paper lifelessly hanging... (not sure who's party or when...but it is in my brain!)

Well girls, THIS idea, is not that!  

Check this out:

This is on someone's mantle.  Huge letters, wrapped in yarn... and yep!  The beautiful crepe paper banner hung above it.  Darling, yeah?

Grab the crepe paper that you want.

(we have over 20 colors in stock, FYI)

Get some ribbon.

Cut crepe paper into strips - all different lengths, or all the same!  You choose.

Fold the crepe paper over the ribbon, staple and you're done!  

So easy, huh?

Kid Friendly Jack-O-Lantern Cookies

This is the CUTEST idea EVER!  I found it over at "Bee in our Bonnet" and couldn't resist sharing with you.  I am definitely going to add this to my "to-do-this-October" list.

Check out the full instructions here.

So the basic steps are:
1.  Make sugar cookie dough
2.  Cut out dough into shapes of eyes, nose, mouth, etc - the way you would a real pumpkin!
3.  Bake and and let cool.
4.  Decorate with frosting and let dry.
5.  Grab some orange dessert plates (which will be your "pumpkin") and let the kids arrange and re-arrange their jack-o-lantern faces!

GENIUS!  I also LOVE the idea of putting all the decorated pieces into a jar to "gift" to friends or neighbors. Check out their full post for details on giving this darling idea away!

Puffy Paint Pumpkins

The name alone sounds fun, doesn't it?  Or if not fun - at least a little bit interesting!  I was actually thinking it sounds a whole lot less messy than the traditional carving.  And a bit more classy as well!  I didn't realize that Puffy Paint still existed - and it kinda made me smile thinking of the good 'ol days when we used to paint our shirts at girls camp.  But onto the pumpkins:

I found this blog a few months ago while searching for help on how to repaint my kitchen cabinets.  I fell in love with their writing personalities as well as the inspiration I get from all their ideas!  It is mainly a house design blog, but thought you might enjoy this simple pumpkin deco idea!  Happy Puff Painting!!

Time to Boo and be Booed!

So I came across this absolutely darling "you've been booed" printout... and thought I'd share.  

You know the one, right?  Where you make two treats, two copies and then deliver when it's dark so no one sees you?  My little 4 year old just gets so excited about doing this little tradition...

So here you go!  Click on the image to download & print these out!  

Go ahead...you know you can't wait to do it!  

And if you need a quick & easy treat to make - try out these cute little guys. Don't they look delish?

Have a happy weekend!

Pumpkin Cookies - Pioneer Party Style

My little boy LOVES pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I repeat. LOVES. So after buying lots of store made ones (at $4.00 for 6!) we decided to make our own. This recipe is SUPER EASY and REALLY YUMMY! What more could you ask for?

Last night we made a batch and on a whim decided to give some away. I just put 2-6 cookies in a clear cello bag (size c-2) and tied it up with jute. I then added some vampire teeth and a kraft tag. Inside the tag says

"Something sweet to sink your teeth into! Enjoy"

Another idea: "Sink your teeth into these sweet morsels"

(this would also be cute in a Halloween cello sack & using black/orange color theme)

Here is the pumpkin cookie recipe:

1 box cinnamon swirl cake mix

1 box spice cake mix

(or 2 of the same: 2 spice cake or 2 cinnamon swirl)

1 large can pumpkin

1 bag chocolate chips

Mix all together and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Makes a huge batch!

We have the cello bags, the vampire teeth

($1.00 pkg of 10) and the ribbon!

Click HERE to buy online.

If you're not in the mood to cook - grab some chocolate covered cinnamon bears, holiday taffy, or any other yummy treat and wrap it up the same!

And if you're not in the mood to do ANYTHING by yourself - we will have some made up ready to go for you to purchase!

Have a FANG-tastic day!
