Simple Birthday Hat & Shirt

Happy Friday everyone!!! Hope you had a great week, and have an even better weekend!

Now on to the post...

My son turned one last May, but I am just now posting some of the stuff I did for his party. His theme was Spongebob because he LOVES Spongebob. LOVES LOVES LOVES the ole yellow dude. I will say that the Cricut was my right hand in planning his party. I did everything with it from the invitations to decorations to cupcake toppers.


Honestly, this has to be the EASIEST craft project I have ever done. No joke. You can look at it and just know how to recreate it. No sewing. No crazy tutorial here. All I did was take an extra Spongebob birthday hat that I had for his party, and hot glued on some cute Spongebob fabric that I bought to make his shirt. Easy peasy. Have you made one? I would love to see!


And this adorable shirt...all I did was print out a number I liked on my computer...traced it onto the fabric...ironed the fabric onto some heat and bond...then ironed it onto the shirt. I could have stopped there but I wanted to make it look a little more finished, sooo....I added a contrasting yellow straight stitch around the edge of the number. I love how it turned out, and got so many compliments on his outfit the day of his party.

Child's Artwork Board



When I saw this cute idea over at Brown Paper Packages I knew I had to/wanted to make one for my lil man who started drawing. It was so super easy, and free! I had everything on hand. My parents let me have the scrap wood from a project they had just done. I also had the clothespins, paint, and the vinyl. It's a super simple project. Paint the wood and clothespins your choice of color. Then cut out what you want it to say in vinyl. Then, attach the clothespins to the board using hot glue, E6000, Gorilla glue, whatever. Put the vinyl on it. Sand the board and clothespins if desired. Add picture hangers in the back. Well, that's what I did. You could hang this several ways. Add your child's artwork. Then, stand back and admire!
