Another lovely DIY project from Martha Stewart, it’s just prefect for a festive white wedding. Have Fun!!
Tools and Materials:
- Low-temperature hot-glue gun
- About 51/2 feet of 1-inch-wide silver double-faced satin ribbon 6-inch
- Styrofoam disk (1 inch thick)
- White tissue paper 20mm and 30mm silver-ball floral ornaments
- White floral tape
Wreath How-To
1. Cut out center of disk, leaving 11/2-inch-wide ring. Hot-glue ribbon to inner and outer edges of ring.
2. Make flowers; you’ll need about twenty for one wreath: For one flower, trace a round object on tissue paper to create three 3-inch circles; cut out. Stack circles; poke wire end of one or two floral ball ornaments through center. Slide circles up wire, ruffling them as you go, to shape petals. Wrap base of flower and wire with floral tape; trim stem to 11/2 inches.
3. To secure each flower to wreath, apply a dab of hot glue on ring, insert stem through glue into foam, and press flower base onto glue. Leave a 1-inch gap bare for hanging ribbon. Loop a 24-inch length of ribbon around wreath at gap; spread petals of adjacent flowers to cover (add flowers if needed). To hang, tie ribbon ends, and slip over removable self-adhesive hook placed upside down inside pew (check with church about restrictions first).

It is just amazing how designer Carol Gearing and her team transforms simple white papers into breath-taking handcrafted flower blooms. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!
Erin Jang from The Indigo Bunting made these adorable “OH Baby” shower favors for her friends, Albert and Tasha. She was inspired by the children’s rhyme: “What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails and puppy dogs’ tails, that’s what little boys are made of.” She rubber-stamped “OH BABY” onto the muslin bags (the baby boy’s last name is Oh!). Then She put a small thank-you note along with some Haribo frog gummies for guests to enjoy.
Look what I found on Hostess. Love the colors combination… soooooo eye catching!!
“Treat Cones” are such a fun way to display candy & other goodies at a party. They’re easy to make and can be tailored to pretty much any party theme or color palette, so the sky’s the limit on the style!
The cones pictured here are from a French Circus-themed baby shower that I styled last month. We used zebra-striped wrapping paper, Crunch ‘n Munch (yum!), bright yellow Banana Heads Candy, and 6.75″ black and white shallow vases for these particular displays, but you can apply the same basic concept to any theme you like…
Here are the DIY details:
*****
You’ll Need:
gift wrap or other decorative paper
lollipop sticks
craft styrofoam sheets – approx 1″ thick
shallow tray or vase/container
candy/treats for the cones
candy/treats to cover the styrofoam
tape, glue stick & scissors
DIRECTIONS:
For the Paper Cones:
1. Download or create a template for the cones. (You can download the one we used here. It makes 5″ cones.)
2. Trace the cone template onto the paper, then trim out. Repeat as many times as you need.
3. Roll the trimmed paper into a cone shape, making sure there’s enough of a hole left in the bottom of the cone for the lollipop stick. Secure the cone shape with a piece of tape on the inside, and use the glue stick to make the outer edge lie flat.
For the Party Display:
1. Cut a piece of the styrofoam sheet to fit securely within your tray or vase/container.
2. Place the styrofoam in the container, then insert the lollipop sticks into the foam, leaving a few inches in between the sticks to make room for the cones. (You can insert the sticks in neat rows or in a random configuration – whichever you prefer!)
3. Pour candy or popcorn on top of the styrofoam until it is completely covered.
4. Fill each paper cone with candy, popcorn, or another treat, then slide them onto the lollipop sticks.

Here’s a peek at our treat cones “in action” at the French Circus baby shower. They sat at different levels on the “dress” of the Dessert “Table Lady” that caterer The Party Goddess dreamed up!
