Halloween Marquee Letters

The marquee letters are so much fun, I wanted to give it a shot and making my own.

The "31" numbers are from Hobby Lobby as well as the black paint, but you can use any black paint.

The 20 count mini halloween lights are from the Dollar Store!

First you will want to cut the front of the number off then mark and punch holes on the back side of the numbers.

Paint each number, set aside to dry. Once dry stick the light in each hole. 

Then lastly, decorate!

Halloween tins - using Ikea coffee tins

We love giving simple things an upgrade,

especially when it as simple as this project was.

Halloween tins

Ikea coffee tins set of 3 for $3.99

Orange is not normally a color I would have on my counters,

but as a cute Halloween project they are perfect.

I especially love the tiny striped one. 

 Supplies:

Ikea Tripp tins set of 3

Chalk labels

 {found at Hobby Lobby $3.99 for 24, plus we used a 40% off coupon}

Ribbon

 Place your chalkboard labels on anywhere you please.

We chose not to put one on the black one.

 Just Plane Cute!

Just Plane easy!

The possibilities are endless to what you can write on them.

Eek!  Boo!  Candy Corn! Trick or Treat!

Get creative.

 These will be adorable displayed at Halloween.

We even thought they would make cute favors or teacher gifts.

So next time you are soaring through Ikea pick up a pack, or two, or three

and make the cutest Halloween tins ever!

Your creative captains!

Aqua and Mustard Bridal Shower

We were super excited to help our Mom throw a

bridal shower at her house over the weekend.

When throwing a shower it is fun to do it in different colors than

the bride's wedding colors.  That way both events stand out

as separate parties.

{Contact us for any custom invitation creation}

  

 We are going to share real quick the recipe for the

Cheesecake Salad because believe me you will want it.

Plus everyone will ask you for it once you make it.

{created here a little different for the shower, but

sure to be the hit of ANY event you do}

1 large pkg of Jello Cheesecake pudding

1 Cup milk

8 oz whipped topping {in a tub}

1 sleeve of graham crackers 

1-2 T sugar

1/2 cube melted butter

any fruit you want.

Mix pudding with 1 cup milk.

Put in fridge to set.

In large bag smash your graham crackers and combine with butter and sugar.

Set graham cracker crumb topping aside.

When pudding is set up fold in whipped topping,

part of your graham cracker topping and any fruit.

{we prefer blueberries, raspberries and strawberries}

Finish with a small amount of graham cracker topping.

Believe us it is "Just Plane Yummy!

Served here as Cheesecake Shooters for the shower.

 

When you print custom signage you can pull all your colors together.

We used frames we already had,

and we always use our trusty IKEA .99 cent plastic white frames

find them here

Just think you can spray paint them in any color to match your

theme too if you wanted.

Plus we print our 4x6 prints at Costco where they are

only .13 cents!

Wahoo!

 

 Mini Chicken Croissant Sandwiches.

Mini Fruit Pizzas.

Sugar cookies with a cream cheese frosting,

then you embellish with any fruit you want.

The Lazy Susan of fruit and cookies make it fun and easy 

for guests to build their mini pizzas.

We love any excuse to throw a party!

And we couldn't be more excited for Shayla to be getting married.

The beaming bride below.

Don't think party food has to be fancy-schmancy,

just easy to grab, and even fun to make like our

mini fruit pizzas.

People love to make their own anything, the same idea

of having anytime of topping bar at an event.

Just Plane Blissful!

Wolrd Market Inspired Chair

I have had my eye on this chair from World Market for a long time, but couldn't bring myself to buy it. 

I was thrift shopping and found a chair almost just like it, same material, color and everything. I just knew I could figure out a way to make it just like the one from World Market and cover the buttons for a pop!

 I chose my material and only had to cut them into about 1x1 squares.

 I did not take the buttons off or anything crazy like that, all I did was tuck the material behind the button. If the material wasn't fitting tight then I took scissors and poked around the button to tighten it.

Wha-la All finished!

I get so excited every time I walk past this chair, the buttons just pop and make it so much more fun to look at!
