My Habit of Guilt

Today consisted of taking all the Christmas decor down. What a task that was. I am glad to have the house back sans all the tinsel strands. They seemed to be everywhere. 

I got an email from Amazon a few weeks ago letting me know about their new fashion website called MyHabit. It is the same idea as Guilt, where designer items are being sold for a limited time at a fraction of the original cost. I have gotten some good deals on Guilt. So, I assume I'll get some use out of MyHabit. Come to think of it, I have some Amazon gift cards. I wonder if I can use them on MyHabit. Niiiiice. I just checked. I can. Okay, time to shop.

Cupcakes For Lyfe

My little fashion queen's first birthday was cupcake themed. As I was searching for anything and everything cupcake related, I came across a little DIY Christmas ornament. Obviously, they were cupcakes. So, I made these for the party favors.

Tadaa! Now, I did this all last year and didn't take photos of the process. I just can't justify getting into my craft closet and dragging all the supplies out, just to have a trail of snowflake confetti to vacuum up. Besides, it's late. I'm being a total Debbie Downs. I realize this. It is super easy and fun to make, though.

Cupcake Ornaments 

2.5" Styrofoam Balls

Cupcake Liners

Artificial Snowflakes

Floral Berry Sprigs

White Craft Glue

Twine or Ribbon

Paint Brush

Hot Glue

Scissors

Paper Plates

-Pour some glue onto a paper plate. Pour the snowflakes on another plate. Using your brush, coat the top half of a Styrofoam ball with glue. Immediately dip it in the snowflakes to cover the glue. Let the top halves of the balls dry.

-After drying, run glue from the gun around the inside rim of a cupcake liner. Put the ball inside, snowflake side up, and gently press the cupcake liner around the base. Be careful because it will be hot. Let dry.

-Cut a berry sprig leaving the stem intact. Cut about a 4" long piece of twine. Dab hot glue onto the top of the cupcake and stick the twine ends into it by making a loop to hang. Push the berry on top of the twine and glue.
