We often get calls from customers asking about items in photos that we used for staging, but don’t sell in the shoppe, so I’m going to start doing a better job of giving you all the details. We staged our new baby bump shower a few weeks ago. Most of the items we offer in our decor, but here are the few things we don’t:
Placemats – these are just 12×12 sheets of DCWV (Die Cuts With A View) Glitter Pink-Brown Flower Dots cardstock from the craft store.
Candy vase – I was browsing the candy store (as I do too often) and ran across these strawberry flavored malted milk balls. Well after I thought “yummy!” I thought how adorable they could be in the new baby bump tablescape. So long story short, I melted down some pink chocolate, covered a few pretzel rods, sprinkled them with pink crystals (available in the shoppe) and settled them into a ribbon embellished short vase of strawberry flavored malted milk balls.
Tulle napkin ring – I was browsing for inspiration for our new black & yellow buzz theme and ran across a table setting that used a black chrysanthemum as a napkin ring. It was really beautiful so I thought about trying to find one at the craft store. I wasn’t in luck so I decided to make my own version for baby bump using pink tulle. To make these yourself you’ll need pink glitter tulle and florist wire. And here are the easy step-by-steps:
- Cut 12 4×4″ squares of tulle and stack them.
- Fold the group like an accordian.
- Pinch them in the center and wrap them with a small piece of florist wire.
- Trim the ends as shown.
- Cut a straight line between each fold to the florist wire separating the folds into individual petals.
- Carefully separate the individual petals and pull upward to give the flower fullness.
It takes a little patience, but it’s worth it… don’t you think. {wink}
Hope you’re inspired!
