Pendant Decorations & Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

In between the laundry, the cleaning,

& the blogging,

I've been getting ready for 

Nellie's Tea Party.

We're having all the little princesses

to an "afternoon tea" in our back yard.

I want bright, colorful decorations.

I'm using bright pink, lime green, turquoise, & orange.

Here are my latest projects . . . 

Let's start with this cool mirror 

that I got at the thrift store (D.I.) for $10.

- Sam follows me around & manages to get in most of my pictures! -

I just taped some paper to the front.

TIP: use masking tape - never clear tape

{don't ask how I know!} & tape as close to 

the frame as possible.

Here are the products I used.

BTW, I almost always use a primer.

For the pendant banner,

I just picked some colorful fabrics that went together.

{Most of them are from Hobby Lobby & they were on sale!}

I cut the front & back pieces together so they would be

exactly the same size. Then I zig-zag stitched around

the edges. I then sewed all the triangles to some

paper party decoration . . . stuff.

I'm having lots of fun mixing polka dots, stripes, 

& whatever else looks fun & whimsical.

Of course, I'll save all this stuff & use it over & over.

We're playing dress-up at the party, so I thought 

the little girls might like looking at themselves

in the "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall".

I'm linking up to these great parties:
"Share Awesomeness! Thursdays" at The 36th Avenue
"Flaunt-it Friday" at Chic on a Shoestring
"Who's Got Talent" at Night Owl Crafting
