Knight Swords

So I finished the swords for the Princess Party. I got for free 5 gl and 1 gl stir sticks from the paint store. Duck tape and black electrical tape for less than $5 with coupons. These were really easy to make. I decided to use tape instead of paint, because I didn't want to spend the time sanding. I applies the metallic tape the long way as to not waste it wrapping it around the other way. I then hot glued a a cut 1 gl stick to the 5 gl one and wrapped it with black electrical tape.
The boys are gonna love these.
You can also check out the gift bags I made here, the centerpieces here, and the invites here.

Princess Centerpieces

I have come to find that I do very well if I have awhile to plan parties. I am one of those that has to think and try out several different ideas until I have exactly what I want to do. Until I love it. I kind of knew what I wanted but it took me alost a week to get it just right.
Again just like the bags I used Dollar tree (balloon weights), Target dollar spot (pails) and coupons (Styrofoam balls at Joanns). The wands, crown and flowers I actually borrowed from my friend Candy who is throwing a princess party in a month. So she let me use them and then she will use my centerpieces in trade. Great way to save money.
Here is the finish product.
Final cost for 6 of them was under $20. The pails cost the most at $1 each.
Now I just have 5 more to put together.

Princess Party Gift bags

So I had to find a way to make a boy and girl bag form this party. Really wish I could have found more knight stuff (like pencil and stickers), but what I found I think they will enjoy.

The girls will get a princess pencil and eraser, heart chalk, bracelets and ring and pearl like necklace (these two last items will actually be set by a stand up mirror so they can play dress up).
The bag is a die cut from our local scrapbook store and I made the tag from a picture I found online. As well as the same as the boys bag.


With the boys bag I went with a darker purple. They received chalk, bubbles and they will each get 2 knight characters (either a dragon, knight, or horse).
Funny story with the knights characters, my sister and I hit 4 or 5 stores searching for something knight related and found a tube of them at Joann's. We were super excited about it after half an afternoon of looking. I found alot of this stuff clearance, at Dollar tree or used a coupon. For 24 bags it only cost me about $50. Which isn't bad, less than $2 a bag. You can't buy that at any party store online.

Princess Party Invites

Lots of crafting going on for the Princess Party.My sister, Kim, drew the picture for me. I then inserted the pic in Word and put a text box over the pic to enter all the wording. I then glittered the castle tops, flags and girls dress.AND theeeen... (remember from Dude where's my car)LOL. No really I then stapled a ribbon onto top so you can pull it out of the envelope.Now the envelopes are a whole nother story in themselves. My sister and I searched all over and couldn't find an envelope the size I needed. then she saw a long skinny one and had teh idea to cut it in half. It worked perfect.
