Circle Birthday Party Garland

Here’s a fun and easy detail from our son’s first birthday party!

What you need: Scrapbook paper, circles to trace (we used some different sized circular things from the kitchen), a glue stick, scissors, all-purpose thread, and a sewing machine.

What to do:
1. Trace your circles with a pencil and cut them out.
2. If your scrapbook paper is only one-sided, use the glue stick to put two pieces together and let dry completely.
3. Put your circles in the order and length you’d like.
4 One by one, slowly feed them into your sewing machine, leaving a tail of thread at each end to use to hang the garland.
5. Hang your garland and enjoy!

We made another circle garland (this time all-white) for our Summer party! It’s a great detail that can add to any party.

Toddler Wisdom: Smelly Dinosaurs

We’d like to present a new section of the blog: Toddler Wisdom!

Our oldest son will be four this Spring. Like most clever little boys his age, he says whatever is on his mind (and takes things very literally). Since he’s not as interested in sitting in small spaces or letting us gel his hair like his baby brother, we thought his wit deserved its own section.

“Dad, why do the dinosaurs smell so bad?”
Dad: “What do you mean?”
“Well, they’re ‘estinked!”
