dtc time- design team inspiration

 welcome to another challenge at www.decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com  The challenge is over the hill party decorations. This one I did is the way I feel! ha Over the hill, and my parts are falling with me. ha I made these funny table decorations some bottle pop glasses, false teeth and gray hair confetti.
the small b-day cake is a tea light wrapped with paper and a scallop top to look like a birthday cake. I cant remember where I seen this but not my idea but had to do it.  The false teeth are simply done by cutting out shape folding in middle and adding white cut like teeth plan on putting gummie in it.
The eyeglasses are two tin containers, eyeballs are from smoke bombs I had at fourth of july. saved them they did come in handy then simply added pipecleaner for ear part. Look out for falling parts!
hair confetti is cut from paper doll cart at 2in.

here is a picture of the sideview of the teeth. and birthday cake. Hope you will join us. And congrats to the winners of last challenge. hugs CONGRATS TO SHERRI FOR WINNING THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE WITH HER CUTE ELMO DECORATIONS.

a little scarecrow/candy dish

This is a super cute and easy scarecrow to hold candy or whatever you wish. Made with three flower pots. a medium and two small ones for the legs. I painted the pots as you can see. Glue the med. pot to the legs then glue the raffia underneath the hangover. I used chipboard for the color of fall and glued to pot. the head is a round foam disc wrapped with muslin and I painted on the eyes added raffia the sunflower and the hat is cut fit to page from paper doll cart glued on both sides. I seen these made a while back at micheals so I put my own twist on it. hugs
