Craftie Quickie: Party ‘Stache for a 1-Year-Old

I’m working on a covert project. {Well sort of.}

SShhhh…The secret celebration’s for my 1-year-old’s first birthday. It’s secret cause I don’t want any of our guests to see what’s to come before the big day. But I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at some of the decorative crafts I’ve been working on thus far.

I thought it’d be a pain in my neck and cramp in my hands to cut out pennants. But it wasn’t that bad. With this pennant template, scissors, and coordinated scrapbook paper, it was one of those crafts I could do while watching TV (anyone else riveted with OWN docu-series Lindsay?)

I also spent a few hours at our local craft store. Thank you die-cut machine for making foam mustache cut-outs surprisingly pain-free.

Target was also running a sale on the party brand that’s decking out our venue and our guest’s cups. Striped straws, come to momma!

There’s still many more creative tasks on my to-do list. But I’m having fun doing this one. A baby only turns 1 once. =) I’m planning on enjoying every imperfect, messy, DIY project.

What are you folks working on?
