With baby showers on the brain and all these Martha Stewart Crafts and Plaid Paints products from JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores in my craft room, I decided to make a simple craft this weekend: DIY baby shower table numbers for my Special Delivery stork baby shower collection!
The new pearl colors from Martha Stewart Crafts are my favorite. They shimmer! And what girl doesn’t like a little sparkle?! {wink}
You only need a few supplies:
- hydrangeas (the large leaves are perfect; I used fake, but live would be lovely!),
- mini glass jars (I used these for my son’s science party),
- Martha Stewart Crafts fine point paint brush,
- Martha Stewart Crafts Purple Martin Pearl (#32119),
- Martha Stewart Crafts Fancy Script Stencil Set,
- ribbon (available in the $1 section at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores)
And here are the steps:
- Dip the tops of your glasses in the pearl paint, allow the excess to drip off and then dry the jars overnight.
- Fill the jar 3/4 with rock salt or sugar (it’s cheap and it sparkles just like the paint).
- Determine your placement.
- Stencil on each number with a fine point paint brush and finish in the detail if needed.
- Allow the leaves to dry and display.
It’s that simple! As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake and create!
