Things I've made but haven't documented the process

 I've made a lot of things that I did not document all the way through but I want to share anyways.

Baby Girl Diaper Cake for a Baby Shower

Tiffany's baby shower gift

Supplies:

• 1 box of size 3 Pampers swaddlers (I believer 164 ct) - I only used half ($25 for the box)
• Baby girl ribbon
• String
• Gold plastic embellishment plate
• Rubber bands (at least 15)
• 1 teether
• 1 rattle
• 1 toy
• Baby girl hat
• Stretchy baby head band
• 1 pack shrink wrap

The base is a plate from dollar tree

I then rolled all of the diapers (the same direction so it would all match)  

and placed a rubber band around them. 

I made a circle of five rolled diapers and then tied a string around it. 

After they were secured I took off the rubber bans. 

I repeated this step by putting more rolled diapers around the already made 

circle, tied it, took off the rubber bands. 

Repeat this step until you get a good-sized base.

Repeat the steps for the next 2 tiers.

I tied all the tiers with ribbon leaving enough room to make big bows as embellishments

 (This also hides the string holding it together).

I placed little baby toys, teethers, rattles around the tiers and added a baby girl hat & head band at the top. The best part of these projects is the shrink wrap, the only time I really use my blow dryer. 

Then top it off with some more ribbon!

Total: around $21

Baby boy diaper cake

Gina's baby shower cake

This was actually my first go at a diaper cake and I think it looks better
than the one above (mainly because this one is pictured before I put
on the saran- wrap) The theme was Sesame Street which I found at the
Dollar Tree. I also added Q-tips to look like candles.

Total: $18

Drunk Barbie Birthday Cake

Brittany's gift

For my friends 21st birthday I made a drunk barbie doll cake. 

Which is pretty self explanatory.

I bought a barbie ($1) with a cute "clubbin" dress and added smeared

 make-up for also obvious reasons. My friend wears glasses so I was luckily able 

to find a pair from my old barbie toys 

I used sprinkles to mimic throw up and also inserted a small plastic shot glass 

into the cake and added sprinkles in it to look like a "puke bucket"

Leave one shoe off & scattered somewhere to make it look even 

more realistic to how the night will end

Then I add mini bottles of alcohol (I found the girliest ones - Kinky & Rosa)

Whatever you can find to add extra "umph" like mini handcuffs, 

small shot glasses/wine glasses and crowns.

Last but not least I added tattoos, "I <3 Mom" "Happy 21st B-day" 

and you can add whatever tattoo that your birthday girl really has to make

 it extra special!

21st Birthday survival/puke bucket

Maria's gift

All this stuff is basically from Dollar Tree

So grab a large colorful bucket ($1) and personalize it

and then add all the things your friend needs to survive

a massive hangover : )

Supplies:

A full on picture (a tad blurry) 

• Powerade/Gatorade (this is Maria's cure)
• Mouthwash
• First Aid kit (Maria ALWAYS stubs her toes)
• Headache medicine
• Make-up remover wipes
• Mini face wash
• Mini-shot glass necklaces 2 pk (personalized with puffy-paint)
• 21 birthday candles
• Condoms
• Pregnancy test (more as a joke but you never know!)
• Snack (I went with veggies straws because she is vegan)
• Hand sanitizer that conveniently attached to the bucket handle 
• Gum 3 pk
• Sunglasses
• Hair scrunchies 
• And a balloon attached (not pictured) 

Total: $19

Hand-made mini shirts

Keith's anniversary gift

My boyfriend is a mentalist & his logo is a gorilla (his last name is Kong)

I cut out 2 mini shirt patterns from 1 large shirt & sewed them 

together (inside out so the seam would not show)

I then used puffy pant to make his logo.

I will admit if I could redo this project I would because the way I

 spread the puffy paint it snagged the shirt & caused

cotton hairs to rise and mix with the paint

(But it's still cute!)

I also inserted two magnets (one in each Gorilla) where their

lips are so they would "kiss" but I suggest using strong magnets

because the material between them makes it hard

to keep them together. 

Total: $2-$1 per gorilla (Dollar Tree)

I already had the old shirt, puffy paint, & magnets

Bachelorette crown

Liz's bachelorette crown

I bought a Dollar tree crown (they only had Mardi Gras at the time)

I had to remove the Maridi Gras colored jewels up top and replaced them with 

silver jewels I already had on hand with hot glue. I bought a small roll of tulle 

from Dollar Tree in the wedding section. I cut up 6-7 long pieces 

of tulle (the strips are approximately 5-6 inches wide so you'll 

need multiple strips) I scrunched the tulle just a bit & then hot glued

 each strip to the back of the crown towards the top. I then hot-glued

silver jewels on the tulle to make it look more authentic and festive.

I found a large sheet of black jewels at Dollar Tree and

hot glued on "BRIDE"

Total: $3 

but I ended with extra materials for another project (tulle & jewels)

Bachelorette sash

Liz's sash

I can't remember the exact measurements for the sash material

but really I just eyeballed it. I found a wide ribbon at 

Joan's Fabric Store (my 2nd favorite store) and luckily

had a 50% off coupon. I used some left over iron-on letters

and jewels to decorate. I sewed together the bottom part of 

the sash and used fabric glue for the jewels. 

Total: I also can't quite remember but less than $3

Glittered Birthday Bottle

Kedisha's Birthday bottle

I taped off the label to keep it clean from the glitter and then

sprayed Elmer's Spray Adhesive. I quickly added a mix of all the 

glitter I had on hand. I sprayed if with the adhesive again and gave

it an extra coat. After it dried I sprayed it with clear spray paint

so the glitter would not fall off or rub off when picked up. Add

some decorative ribbon and its a perfect party gift!

Mother's Day Topsy-Turvy Planter

I made this for my momma in 2014 (it was a big thing then).

I used a large planter that I had on hand and bought

4 Dollar Tree planters. The first 3 smaller ones (from 

the bottom) were all the same size and the top one

is the smallest. I went to Home Depot and bought (approximately)

a 7 foot nickel pole (about $8). Now I asked one of the employees which 

 type of metal pole do they recommend for outdoor and they

did say that the one I bought (the cheapest) would rust fast. 

Any-who you need a long pole so it can be buried at least 

a foot in the ground. I stuck the pole through the pot into the ground

(Find a place that you want to keep it) I added soil and

then added the rest of the pots, slanting them to get the look. 

Adding the soil also keeps the pots slanted. I added the flowers after

which I also bought at Home Depot (about $1 each)

Total: $16

Broken Mirror book shelf

A DIY for me!

I found the book shelf on the curb during one of our scavenger hunts
 (my mom and I).

The shelf had minor water damage to the top from cups so I knew
 I had to cover it up some how. I also found a large mirror on the curb but when I brought it home it cracked! So I
 re-purposed my "bad luck" buy breaking
it further into small pieces. 

I bought a small bucket of white grout from Home Depot ($5) and then laid

out the glass. I grouted multiple times
(this was the hard part) and it was hard to clean the grout film from the glass.
But after it looked

AMAZING!

Total: $5
