I spotted this on the Cute Tape blog. 

They will tell you how to do the DIY on this simple party favor bag. 

It was too clever not to repost about it. 

My little Kaikai turns 4 in July and the ideas in my head are already turning.

DIY stripey paper straw pennant garland

A little spark when off in my head when I saw this simple paper straw garland...
*spark*... why not add pennants?

So here it is. And it's so easy to make.

You'll need:
-Paper straws (I got these at hey yo yo, but you can get them cheaper in bulk here)
-Coordinating card stock
-String and needle (a quilting needle works best, something with weight to it)
-Hot glue

Cut out your card stock into triangles, however big you want them and however many you want.
I had two to each straw. You could even try letters, circles, squares...etc. whatever. Just make sure they measure up to each straw since you'll be attaching it to them.

Place hot glue across the tops of each pennant then place paper straw on top. Again, make sure you measure it out before you place on the straw.

Then, string in your needle/string through the straws.

Hang.

Admire.

Paper straw garland

I love garlands. I love paper straws. So its fitting that I love this easy paper straw garland from Crossing the Bugger-Dixon Line.

Prep for a party: stripes and dots

My son turns 1 (a big deal for us Hawaiians) in June so, naturally, I started planning out his party when he was born. ha!

We are keeping it simple though... really.

The theme is basic 'stripes and dots' with colors baby blue, sunshine yellow and lime green.
