Pinterest Party…Spring Edition

Last week, my friend Cristine and I hosted our second Pinterest Party for some preschool mamas.

We decided that since we had so much fun at the Christmas one we’d host another one come spring. Well, the weather might not feel like spring, but we all have spring fever and are ready for some new decorations.

Wreaths seem to always be a hit, so this time Cristine had the idea to recreate a wreath she bought from Etsy.

See the wreath on the left? She bought that one on Etsy for a good chunk of change. She shopped around for the supplies and figured we could make them for more than half the cost because let’s face it, labor was free. Ha! She made the wreath on the right. Cute huh?

So, we decided to make a burlap wreath, Easter egg styro-foam trees like I made last year.

We also had some leftover wooden frames from the last party, so we put those out to decoupage spring scrapbook paper and decorate.

If you remember from the Christmas Inspired Pinterest Party we asked that everyone bring a dish that was “Pinterest inspired”.

We did the same this time around as well. Because the crafts we picked cost more than the last one we asked that each person give $15.00 towards their crafts.

This worked out great.

To get the party started we set up her dining room table with the three crafts.

Burlap Wreaths

Easter Egg Tree

The Decoupage Frame

We set her kitchen up with the food and drinks.

The cocktail of the night was my “Peep”tini.

You can find the recipe HERE.

We mingled for a bit and then got to work. It was so much fun…as usual.

The wreaths turned out great!

I’m still working on mine. However, my friend, Jaleh, finished hers and it’s hanging on her front door as we speak.

Aren’t they all just adorable? I’ll have another post showing how it’s made in case you want to make one yourself. They’re very easy.

The night got late and we ran out of time to make the Easter Egg trees. Most of the girls bagged up their supplies and took them home to finish at a later time.

As one friend worked on her tree I sat and talked with her. I got antsy just sitting there not crafting, so I grabbed a wooden frame, paper, buttons, and hot glue and got to work on a wooden frame.

It was so simple and I just love how it turned out. And can we just talk about that picture for a second??? That is a picture of my sweet Dallas when she was just 16 months old. Look at those thighs!!!

Anyway, this Pinterest Party was another great success. Everyone had fun and it was a great way to spend a few hours of girl talk and cocktails.

So, if you could throw a Pinterest party what would your theme be??? Thanks for stopping by!
