WIP: Prepping for Kids' Party

Running out of time and somehow I feel like there's still so much to do... My kids' birthday is next week and I've planned on making some of Bakerella's cake pops for the day itself and another batch for the party. And in between, I've been busy making the no-sew tutus for the girls and superhero capes for the boys.


At least now I've finished cutting the cape fabrics and making the initials in felt. Just need to sew up the capes tonight.

With the few minutes I had this morning before walking the kids to school, managed to squeeze in some time to make some star toppers for the mini cupcakes and jelly boats.

Used the kids' star-shaped punch which turned out to be just the right size. Folded some scraps of scrapbook paper in 2 and punched the shape near the fold or at least 1 of the pointed bit was on the fold. This way I don't have to stick 2 together and spending time trying to align them. Also just used some random colours whatever scraps I had left.

These are some of the stars that has been punched out. Not perfect because of the fold but I don't think it's a major issue.

Add a bit of glue in the middle and used the toothpick to spread the glue a bit before putting it in place.

And then closed the other half down and pressed to adhere the star and the toothpick together.
