Yesterday afternoon I made cupcakes to bring to my littlest one's preschool class. She has a summer birthday, but today is the day she'll celebrate with her friends at school. Pazely LOVES Little Pet Shop toys with a passion! Her birthday, the last day of June, will be in the theme of "Little Pet Shop". I kinda cringe at the thought of planning a party around trademarked characters. Maybe I'm a handmade snob.
I purchased these Little Pet Shop stickers & decided that the girls & I would make some decorations for the cupcakes.
The girls & I cut &/or punched 3 different sized circles, stuck them together with double-sided tape, put the lil' stickers on, & hot glued a bamboo skewer (cut in half) to the back.The girls had a blast digging through my box of scrap papers & designing each cupcake pick on their own. I was wondering what kind of mess the picks would look like with such a random selection of different colored & patterned papers. But they turned out adorable! The "hodge-podge" look works!
And Pazely was so proud. That's the most important thing!
I'm sure I'll be repeating this project come birthday time in June. Despite the fact that I'd rather make my girls' parties completely handmade, I decided that I would face this party as a challenge. I am really going to try to bring a handmade element to the theme. Trademark shrademark.
