Red, White, & Root Beer: Decorations

June 29, 2011 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Fourth of July

Red, white, and blue served as the color palette for this party. Our centerpiece was made with three brown glass bottles wrapped in decorative paper and ribbon and then filled with white flowers. We placed it on a bright blue cake stand, which would later hold our cupcakes. We decorated the cake stand with red and blue paper bunting.

Instead of traditional confetti adding color to our table we made bottle cap confetti by painting used bottle caps red and blue and adding a paper star punch to the top. One final touch on the table were several kinds of root beer available for guests to sample.

Decorating our fence was red and white pinwheel garland.  Made from felt and inspired by  this tutorial from eighteen25.   It looked great and was very simple to make.

And last, but not least when guest first arrived they were welcomed by our Fourth of July bottle cap sign.  A $2.50 purchase from Target’s dollar section. We covered up it’s original “Tiki Bar” picture with a new sign using scrapbook paper and paper punched stars. It fit our theme perfectly.

I’ve been wanting to host this party for a long time…painting gingerbread houses! Good food, cozy socks and lots of paint and glitter with some of my favorite people 🎄🎀✨
🍁Our neighborhood Fall Fest was a huge success! We had spent weeks planning, designing, organizing, assembling, and prepping, but had no idea if anyone would show up. What a delight when 193 people came to join in the afternoon. Face painting, bobbing for donuts, pumpkin painting, decorate your own tote bag, and so much more. Thanks so much to all of the volunteers and those of you who donated to make this event possible!

Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures
