Mama Mia Mini Pizza Box Tute

I love me some clever favor packaging. I created these and had them in my shop about 5 years ago and thought I would create a little tutorial for these snazzy mini pizza boxes.
Perfect for a pizza, bowling, Chuck E Cheese or TMNT party and anywhere else where a tiny pizza box would add some adorable cheesy charm.They also a sweet idea for invitation presentation.

Super easy to make and they provide a unique + cheesy presentation.
Another cutie design here.



Junk needed:

Mini pizza boxes~I use 7x7x2, similar to the ones found here, but you can really use any size.
Full sheet label paper~I used Staples brand.
Any kind of simple text design program. I used Word.
Parchment or waxed paper for official pizza box authenticity + adorableness.

Supply list is easy. You can use any size boxes,

any brand of label/sticker paper. 

Create a little design and insert a picture or graphic.

This is a very basic set-up in Word that

I did almost 6 years ago. Just text boxes and WordArt. LOL 

Chimp mugs on a mini pizza box-nothing cuter.

What kid does not like to receive a bottle of

glitter as a party favor?! Mine. LOL

Rock Candy Chandy Tute

Roses are red.

Rock candy is cute.

I should be cleaning,

But I am eating lots of sugar + writing this tute:)

Enjoy this sweet + simple tutorial.

Disclaimer: The candy is for adorable presentation. Don't eat it-it has glue on it:)

Stuff you need:

Rock candy on strings

Assorted ribbon

Floral wire picks

Purple Hot Glue Gun

Scissors

Display stand or tree

Homegoods purchase that I spray painted silver

cut rock candy strings into desired lengths 

cut wire picks into 2-3 inch pieces bend a hook at end

make sure glue gun is very hot, it should burn/melt the candy

I add glue until the candy cracks and melts a tiny bit, then insert hook

let cool for about 15 minutes

add ribbon and hang

Another option-just use rock candy sticks and hang with ribbon

Ode to the Value Pack of Gift Bows...

I feel kind of bad for the old school value pack of gift bows. Once the Gold Standard of polished gift wrapping-they have now fallen into the clearance bin shadows of baker's twine, washi tape, snazzy yarn and more clever packaging ideas. I, however, still believe gift bows can offer old school charm. I also adore the idea of using everyday, underappreciated items and imagining them into something wicked cute. With minimal physical effort. Come on, you know that's funny:)

Oh, Value Bag of Gift Bows, I love you so...

Create the world's easiest table runner with a piece of

fabric and add gift bows for adorable drama

I love alligators! Especially Preppy ones...With glittered hairbows:)

This partyware was designed for a little Preppy Princess, named Evangeline, who is turning two. I had been dreaming of adding a glittered hairbow to my alligator design for about a year and this was my golden, or should I say pinken opportunity! LOL! Love the way this design turned out...I think she may be the first girly gator with a pink glittered hairbow in the universe..

Thank you Kasey for the honor of designing Evie's partyware. Happy 2nd Birthday Evangeline:)
