The celebration shoppe ice cream party diy apron craft sm

I love to craft, especially when it’s easy! {wink} So for this DIY apron project I picked up some child size aprons (I think they were $1.99 each), stencils ($3.99 for a pack of 30 designs and I used my bi-weekly 40% off coupon), sponge brushes ($.50 each) and fabric paint ($1 each) at JoAnn Fabrics and Craft Stores. And I grabbed some wax paper to protect the surface underneath.

The process was super easy. I placed my stencils (the shape stencil from the store and one I homemade with my Cricut machine, because I really wanted it to say “YUM!”) where I wanted them on the apron. Next I dabbed the paint (making sure the paint was spread evenly over the sponge) on while holding the stencil down with the other hand. I let it dry for a few hours and all done!

For this project, I also created that fun ice cream balloon favor our little model is holding and Sew Jewell designed the super fun ice cream outfit she’s wearing.

For more Ice Cream Social party ideas, read my other posts & visit the collection in the shoppe:

  • Set up an Ice Cream Social dessert table
  • How to serve frozen pops! And them stay frozen (at least until the kiddos can gobble them up)
  • Simple favors that POP!

As always, I hope you’re inspired!
