Have you noticed that many of the major scrapbooking manufacturers have added Party Decor to their product line ups? Well, if you've got a little time and a little paper and other crafting supplies (ok ok, I have a LOT of paper).... you can easily make your own decor like I have here.
I put my Cricut to use to cut out most of the shapes in my party decor. The cartridge I used is called "Once Upon a Princess"
To make the teapot and teacups stand up, I just folded and adhered a little piece of card stock to the back to make my own stand. And then to make the garland I adhered punched circles and stars cut with my Cricut, sandwiching some twine in the middle.
To turn the bow and crown into photo props, I just taped a wooden skewer to the back. This little holder was originally packaging for several rolls of washi tape. I simply chose some coordinating washi colors to wrap around it and now I have a cute prop holder.
And that's it for me today, I hope you enjoyed my projects!
