You have a party planned OR you just want to celebrate something worth celebrating that happened in your week (your kiddos first soccer goal or no cavities at the dentist, ya know, the things that I LOVE to bring attention to and celebrate)! BUUUUUT you don’t have loads of time to make the most pinterest-worthy cupcake topper or decoration. Wellllllllllll let me tell you that I have the *easiest* and potentially most colorful party hat cupcake toppers that you can whip out with only a few supplies and 10 minutes of your time (while the cupcakes are baking in the oven)! šŸ™‚ And today I am sharing a little video tutorial AND all the step by steps…..I hope you LOVE THEMMMMM! šŸ™‚

You can make these party hat toppers in ANYYYYY color combo, texture, or size that you want. They can be itty-bitty for a baby shower or HUGE for a giant milestone….or they can just be made from leftover scrap paper that you have lying around! Really, the sky is the limit with these little ditties.

Materials:

  • Paper – in various colors. And really any thickness will work, although not TOO thick so that you can roll easy
  • scissors
  • a hot glue gun (you can use regular Elmer’s glue, but you may lengthen the time of the project because you’d have to hold the hats closed and allow to dry)
  • Cupcakes with a good dollop of frosting! šŸ™‚

Instructions:

  1. Cut your pieces of paper into squares based on how tall you want the toppers. Ie, if you want a hat that is about 3 inches tall, cut the paper into a 3×3 square. Round out the bottom of one side of the square, starting and ending about 1/2″ – 1″ up on each side. Then from the rounded sides, cut up each side towards the center of the top square edge to make a triangle. You will be left with a rounded bottom triangle (and trust me, this shape DOES NOT have to be perfect)

2. Cut strips of paper in various 1″-2″ widths (these will become the top tassels so you don’t need loads of strips). Then cut these strips into 3-3 1/2″ chunks. Fringe the long edges of these chunks for the tassels. Open up a scissors and carefully run each fringe between your finger and the sharp inside edge of the scissors, working from inside to outside, to curl the fringes (PLEASSSSE be careful not to cut yourself if you have sharp scissors)!

3. With your hot glue, run a bead of glue along one side of the triangle on the hat. Then roll the triangle into a hat shape and glue together. In a tight circle, roll up the fringed piece (in step 2) and then open up slightly and run a small (very small) bead of hot glue along the rolled fringe to stick it together and then adhere to the top of the party hat.

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰ 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! šŸ˜‚
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

The alternate caption could also be ā€œyup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof šŸ„’ ā€œ
For the record, I got approximately zero adulting For the record, I got approximately zero adulting things done while constructing this cardboard @encantomovie Casita of my daughters dreams. Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the ā€œwe don’t talk about Brunoā€ song…..ya know, ā€œwe don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø
ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas šŸŽ„ I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now. 

And for all the online shoppers this weekend, use code YAYcreatives for 20% off everything in my shop through Monday night. Including these happy Colorful felt trees! (I meannnnn, look at their personality šŸ˜‚šŸ˜)
