Come and get your lemonade!

I love love love (did I say love?) crafts! 

They make me so happy, so of course

Party planning is one of my fav things :)

This lemonade stand was too cute not to share!!

My mom actually found the exact measurements on Pinterest. I apologize I don't know the original source. 

To Home Depot we go! 

I actually had a gentleman cut each piece

to the exact measurements as the photo above. He was super awesome and it didn't take long.

Purchased some white paint & off we went! All and all I think the paint plus wood cost around $50.

Before painting (5 pieces total)

I did two coats of paint!

With the help of my mama :) 

After the paint dried my dad used a nail gun to secure the stand. Sorry he did this when I wasn't there or else I would have taken pictures. But just nail the crates together, then attach and nail one of the side pieces to each crate, then the name board! Im sure just looking at the pictures you can figure it out. :) 

After, we wrote her name on it, and I couldn't be happier!

Then for photos I just decorated it!

Birthday Banner!

Okay, so I have a similar blog a few posts back but I left out a few pictures so I'm just going to do a quick step by step! 

First, cut out your scrapbook paper / cardstock (I measured it and cut each piece 3") you'll need two 3" pieces of cardstock for each complete circle. Then I used my cricut to cut out each circle (they are 4 1/2 " on the cricut) 

 

Then I accordion folded each piece of cardstock. 

Next, hot glue your two pieces of paper together. 

Hot glue the other side as well

It should look like this! 

Lay your acordion circle flat 

Then hot glue down the inner circle. Hold it here for about a minute, so it lays down flat.  

Next, add your letter! These are from hobby lobby for $1 each

& repeat! :)

Use a hole punch and punch a hole in each side to string your banner. 

I used tulle for mine! (Yarn, ribbon, anything will work) I purchased from hobby lobby for $1.29 a yard. A yard of each color should be enough for your entire banner.  

String your tulle. NOTE: be super careful! I ripped about 3 of them in the process!

Tie a little bow...

& ta-da! 

 I promise is it seriously as easy as it looks! Here's the finished banner.

Good luck & happy crafting!
