My darling daughter is turning “Sweet 16” this summer! {ouch}
I’ve started collecting ideas and pre-planning. I wanted to plan a surprise party but she a young lady that definitely know what she likes and what she doesn’t. So I came to her one day and say, “Let’s plan a party!” Plus it’ll be fun to do it together. I know I have several months but I don’t like waiting to the last minute plus our summers are pretty busy.
While flipping through the latest PBteen catalog…. I spot these
Which inspired me to create
Here’s how
Poke a pin in a ping~pong ball. {I used a total of 16 balls} Poke the other end of the pin into styrofoam.
TIP: Use quilters pins if you have them. There a bit longer.
Paint. I used satin black satin paint but wished I would have used glossy. I personally would have loved to see these painted in pink but my daughter chose black. The color scheme will be black, hot pink, and white.
TIP: I use plastic shower curtains (found at the dollar store) as drop clothes.
Apply vinyl letters, numbers, and dots. I used my Cricut machine but you can find vinyl letters and numbers just about anywhere.
Finished. Here they are! So cute right?
I was going over my photos that I wanted to post when….. I got a wild hair. There’s more that could be done.
Added some ribbon and made a cute little topper with my daughter’s name.
Wouldn’t this make a cute center piece? I was thinking about putting either “her birth date” or “Sweet 16” on the back.
Which one would you do?
Have a wonderful day,
Carrie
