Free Printables :: Valentine Juice Wrappers & Bag Toppers

This weekend I tried to spend some time coming up with cute ways to wrap the juice boxes for both boy's parties. Creating labels and just printing and taping was really just the easiest way :)



I printed out three different options. Then, I also cut one of them down to a smaller strip and used it with a doily for a new look: 


All three options can be downloaded for free HERE.

The other thing we did was come up with a cute little way to make candy bracelets. I did this as a fun project with our daughter while the boys spent the day at the monster truck show ;)




I wrapped the finished bracelets around a piece of cardstock that I cut two slits into:


Next, I placed them in a plastic Ziploc bag and placed a bag topper on top: 


I also tried printing it on kraft paper: 


The back has a place to sign:


...But of course, it all comes down to the taste test ;)


The bag toppers can be downloaded HERE.

Can you believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner?! I'll be back tomorrow to share a sweet vignette I  made in our entrance :)

Happy Tuesday!

Valentine's Day Candy Bingo

Hello, friends :)

I wanted to share with you the simple and sweet Valentine Bingo I made for my son's class party. 


Since he's in the first grade, I thought it would be cute to model it after the cute conversation heart candy since they can now READ! Pair it with some yummy candy place markers, and you have quite the game ;)


I designed them to print two to a page, which worked out nicely since I had to make 20 different cards since there are that many students in his class. 


I printed up larger hearts to keep in a small linen bag to pull and call during the party. 





You can print the entire collection (all TWENTY different cards!) for free right HERE.

xo,

Rachel

DIY School Parties with FREE Printables!

Happy Friday, folks!
 
We are going to be busy little bees today hopping from one school party to the next, so I wanted to share some of the little projects we have been working on for them:
 
For our daughter's class, they are doing a cookie exchange. Initially, I wanted to do sugar cookies with some pretty icing. But since we already have so much going on, I decided a cookie that required no decorating was the way to go - especially since then I could make Jason make them :)
 
We used this recipe, and it came awesome! The recipe is actually used from cake batter, and makes soft, chewy cookies. To really make these cookies look special, I bagged them up and created a small topper to go with it, using some of the graphics we already had from our Grinchmas Party.
 
 
First, let's take a look at these beauties - when you crack them open, just check out that awesome Grinch-green color!

 
Next, I cut out the labels that you can print HERE.

 
Just staple them to the top of the bag.


 
The next project was for Jameson's class. I am the party planner for his class, and we are doing a 'winter wonderland' theme. Plans are to do the penguin craft and minute-to-win-it games found on my pinterest board.
 
As a small gift to hand out to his classmates, we decided on our take of  this hot chocolate bag. My idea to create a printable file for this instead of doing it with scrapbook paper was based entirely on laziness :)


You can print up this snowman hat label HERE. {I used regular ziploc bags folded behind the packet}.


 
The last project we did was to turn their juice boxes into snowmen, inspired by these.

 
The label is printable HERE and also has a small detail of stick arms on the side. The nose and scarf were cut from felt that I had leftover from recent garlands I've made.

 
I don't know about your kids- but mine are super excited for their parties tomorrow :)
Me? I think I need a nap after this week!
