Giant Domino Decor

A Little Tipsy is redecorating her game room and made these large dominoes as a decor element. How fun! Even cooler than that is how the numbers on the dominoes represent her anniversary date! I love that the dominoes have some meaning!

The more, the merrier!!!! I know this is early to post a Father's Day idea so you can repost an idea from the last year or two!!!!

Guest Blogger - A to Zebra Celebrations - Rose Ball Tutorial!

Welcome A to Zebra Celebrations.

This is the tutorial for the rose balls A to Zebra Celebrations used in her daughter's birthday party.

A little story about these. I was in Los Angeles, CA this past March. I went shopping with my aunt. We walked into this little store downtown and they had some gorgeous rose balls hanging from the ceiling. I asked the clerk if they were for sale and she said "yes". I told her I wanted 3 of the pink ones. She told me "we are sold out, and we won't get any for another month". I was devastated, because my party was in like 3 weeks! I knew these would be perfect for the party. I had no choice, but to try and make them myself.....ha! Here's what I came up with and it's super easy, but you need to know that it took me over 7 hours to make these 3 balls... sooooooo much time!!!


Materials: Roses, foam ball and glue gun.
(You can also spray paint the foam ball, but I did not)

Take the roses apart and get rid of all the greenery.

Take your glue gun and add some to the stem.

Stick it in the ball right away before your glue dries. You will need to press hard and hold for a minute or two.

Your rose will look like this when you let go.

I added some hot glue inside the petals to make them look tighter.

Then add another rose, and another, and another....until your ball is full

You want to stick them pretty close together so you have no white spots showing .

And here's what your rose ball will look like!!

Here's where I used them for my daughter's party!

I also used one of them for this zebra photo shoot and just put it on a candle holder.

The possibilities for these gorgeous rose balls are endless! I'd love to hang these in a nursery room, or use them for a wedding, you could also hang them above a desserts table, etc..etc... Let your imagination come up with new ideas for these!!

Send me an email with pictures if you decide to make these and use them on your upcoming party! I'd love to see them :)

Feel free to ask any questions. My email: atozebracelebrations@hotmail.com


Thanks!!!!

3 Fantastic Party Highlights

Time is scarce today so I am just posting 3 projects that I really like from today's party. I'll feature more throughout the week!

What do you think this darling skirt is made from? I bet you didn't guess napkins! Head over to Better Together to learn how to make a skirt like this from 3 cloth napkins! Genius.

These pillows are scrumptious! You gotta love working with jersey! Get some great tips on making jersey knit pillows from Craft Yourself along with a link to a tutorial on how to make these babies!

I'm loving this western shirt that has been made into a purse. Bugglebee actually has two different style of purses made from shirts and they are both amazing. You can download a free pattern to make your own.
