DIY Letter Standee (paper mache)

Finally!! we have our internet back and at last I can now post this DIY project we did two weeks ago :)
This is for my friend's daughter who will be having her debut party on the 26th.

this is the finish product and this is how we did it

Thankful that aside from my husband , there is this girl in our church whom I can trust to do the lettering and cutting. These are big letters, probably size is 26 inches. I initially thought of a styropor material but I wanted a 3d type of letters, the usual material is wood and I know that is expensive so I thought of paper mache. Brilliant idea!! I had these cardboards and papers excess from last Christmas and that's what I used.

 cut the letter pattern first

 we put paper cups in between 2 letters

see those paper cups in the middle?

 started pasting strip of papers at the sides

 ready for painting

after the painting and the glitters :)

ready for display on Friday!

Pink Magic

Don't you love pink? I guess most little girls and some ladies too love pink. Have done so many girls parties and almost everyone choose pink as their color motif. I can see why they are so enthralled with the pink magic. See my previous post from the recent birthday party? Pink is so lovely and I am fascinated too!

I am doing another grand birthday party again this year and it's a debutant party, now she doesn't know yet what color she likes and forgive me but I am enticing her to choose pink because as I have said I am now hook to pink :) But I will try to convince her to add some brown to make it more elegant.

Has pink become my favorite color now? I think so. what's yours?

Valentines Day

I chanced upon this picture while organizing my folders last night and I just thought of posting it. It was the first time my husband made a heart shaped balloon and though it had flaws ( from my view) but others loved it though. And boy it was a hit! Almost everyone from the church have their picture taken with this in the background. Go take a look at these pictures!

Perhaps we will do this again next year, a more beautiful and bigger heart hopefully with flowers is coming up this Valentine's Day. I can imagine how everyone will love it :)

But hey, before I think of that I'll have to finish my Christmas parties yet!
