Pineapple Party!

 Pineapple Party! We had a super fun and simple party for New Year's Eve!  It was all pineapple themed! I got all this fun stuff from Oriental Trading!   They have everything you need for weddings, parties, toys and novelties, and crafts!  This table with hairpin legs has been perfect for buffet for a party! Check out the table details here! To make this fun Pineapple Garland here's what we did. Tissue Paper Balls in Yellow Green Tissue Paper Black and White Tassel Garland  Fold 2 layers of tissue paper about 4 inches tall and 16 inches wide. Cut on the open edge with a jagged edge.  Then tape it inside the ball on both sides of where it opens.  Then tape the balls closed with the included tape on them as designed.  Cutest little pineapple decorations!  Next this cute bucket pineapple: Bucket Favors Caramel Balls  (one order will fill one bucket) And more of the green tissue paper ~ Cut the tissue pape...

DIY Soap Leaves!

 DIY Soap Leaves!  Make some fancy soap leaves for hand-washing fun! You will need: Microwave Melt and Pour Soap Base (or other soap base, use package instructions) Soap coloring (I used neon colors) Actual leaves (roses work best) Paint brush measuring cup  Put some soap base in a measuring cup and microwave to melt  Add color and stir  Clean and dry the leaves. Then start painting the melted soap on the backside of a leaf.  It goes on thick and dries quickly.  Paint about 1/8th inch on each leaf and let them dry completely.  Once dry, carefully peel off the leaf!  Complete with veins--they are so cute!  Great for about 3-5 hand washings! Fun for a guest bathroom! This post published on Doodlecraft first
