Diaper Stroller

So the other night, my niece and I made a diaper stroller for a baby shower she was attending. It actually came out pretty great. However, we did stuff it with almost everything. This is one lucky baby girl!

 

 

  

Bird Theme Invitation - Gender Party

So I finally decided to make the invitations for the gender party and I am so excited to share it with everyone.

Not sure if anyone read the previous blog post, but I decided to do a Bird Theme Gender Party. To start off, I decided to make the invitations by researching online for some ideas through Pinterest and Google. I found some great ideas.

As for everything that I made, I used my Cricut Explore machine, except for the invitation, which I printed and cut myself.

Anyways, enjoy!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Thanks!!

Diaper Stroller Cake

So after my attempt of the diaper cake, I decided to try the Diaper Stroller cake. This time I made it for my in-laws who were expecting a baby. The gender? No one knows, not even mommy and daddy, so I tried going neutral and getting stuff that was on the mommy-to-be's registry. Here are the pictures. I tried taking pictures of each step so you get an idea on how I did it. Sorry for the mess by the way!

What You Need
[50] Size 2-3 diapers
[48] Size 5 diapers
[3] Receiving blankets
[1] Long blanket
[1-2] Bibs/burp cloths
[2] Wash cloths
[2] Paper Towel Roll
A bag of Rubber bands
Ribbons
Tape
Scissors

The FINISHED Diaper Cake

Step 1. Place about 30 diapers in a row and then about 3 diapers on each side and tie a rubber band around it. Make sure you get a long oval shape.

Step 2. Use the receiving blanket and cover the diapers like your wrapping a gift and place rubber bands on the outside like shown above. one rubber-band on each side and one rubber-band on the bottom that will keep the bottom in tack.

Step 3. For the headrest of the stroller, take about and use the diapers to make a curve on the corners. Take a rubber band and use it to keep the diapers together, like shown above.

Step 4. Use another receiving blanket and cover it like your wrapping a gift. Use a rubber band to hold the sides or a safety pin.

Step 5. Attach a bib or burp cloths on the head rest of the stroller.

Step 6. Take another receiving blanket and place it on top of the head rest. If possible, try and tuck the sides to the rubber band on the body.

Step 7. Take a blanket (longer than receiving blanket) and use it to shape the outside of the stroller and use a ribbon to hold it down.

Step 8. Attach the wheels to body of the stroller and use a ribbon to attach the paper towel roll to the bottom of the body.

So I noticed that I didn't take any pictures of the wheels for the diaper stroller. I used about 12 (size 5) diapers for the wheels and just rolled it into a circle so that it looks like a wheel. Basically laying them flat and then placing each diaper on top of another. Use a rubber band to tie around the diapers to keep it in place and then use a ribbon to decorate. On the paper towel roll, tape a wash cloth in the middle of each roll. Then place a wheel on each side of the paper towel roll. Make sure to put two diapers inside the roll as wheel, just to keep it sturdy. Next time, if I happen to try this diaper stroller again, I will make sure to take pictures of everything step by step. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!

Father's Day Card

Well I hope everyone is having a great Father's Day so far! Anyways, for Father's Day, I decided to make a card for my husband, on behalf of Jae. I think it came out adorable. This year I made the theme about Superman, so I got him a couple of stuff that had Superman on it. Hopefully he likes it.

Card; made with Cricut Machine (idea from google images)

Bowl & Mug (Personal Creations)

Well I hope you guys enjoyed the several of pictures I posted. I know it isn't much, but I was running out of ideas. It's his 3rd Father's Day and I'm sure he has everything. But on top of the Superman idea, I did run out and got him the Nintendo Wii U - Mario Kart for Father's Day as well. It was his bonus gift.

XOXO,

Handmade Wedding Invitations

In 2011, my husband and I got married.. Who made the invitations? I did of course. I wanted to use my arts and craft talent to make the wedding invitation of my dreams. Of course I was only able to make 50 and as for the rest, my father in law ordered them at a printing company for his friends and my family; they were in Chinese and Vietnamese. Anyways, as for the invitations, I actually spent about a week making them. However, I did order the template and envelopes online, but I have no idea from where. It's been too long. Well I hope you like what I did. Sorry if there isn't a lot of pictures. I'll try to find the invitation somewhere..

XOXO,

Diaper Cake

So I made a diaper cake for my sister's baby shower in November 2013. I just basically used all the items on her registry and put it together on the cake. I hope you enjoy my diaper cake! I didn't put too much on the cake, but she still loved it!

Materials
Sized NB Diapers
Size 1 Diapers
Size 3 Diapers
Size 5 Diapers
4 Receiving Blankets
Rattle
Tape/Ribbon

Step 1. Roll all of the diapers and use tape/ribbon (Showing Honest Diapers)
 

Step 2. Then you would put all the rolled diapers together to form a circle, and put tape/ribbon around it. Keep rolling diapers and putting them together to create your 4-layer cake.


Step 3. This is what the 4-layer cake should look like.



Step 4. Now we are going to use the receiving blankets to cover the diapers so it looks nice. We will be using tape for this.


Now we will just place them on top of each other and there you have your diaper cake.

Final Diaper Cake


I know it isn't the best and it is my first time, but I felt like it was easier for me to carry around and place on the table. I should've just used ribbon for the diaper roll instead of tape, but I didn't think of this till afterwards.

I hope you liked the cake.

XOXO,

Halloween Chocolate Molding

Last night, my cousin, nephew and niece decided to do Halloween's chocolate moldings. I wish I bought more for them to do though.

All materials were all bought at AC Moore. 

Molding: Friendly Ghost

Wafers: Orange, Vanilla and Milk Chocolate

Price: $15 with 50% coupon

Coupon: ACMoore.com or weekly advertisements (they change from week to week, but you can always find them on ACMoore.com)

Here is our result of our first 4 molding. 

We forgot about the milk chocolate wafers.

So we tried it again this morning, and this is our final results.

Conclusion: It's all about having fun with the kiddos! So I'm glad we had a chance to make this and laugh about how our results came out.

Happy Early Halloween!
