There is just so much fodder in this clever book that translates into perfect party food and decor. I’m loving the details of this Very Hungry Caterpillar party hosted by Craftsmumship. Check out this cake HERE.
Fringe-y Drink Umbrellas
Turn those dime-a-dozen cocktail umbrellas (they probably really are about a dime a dozen, but I mean in a standard, everyday, nothin’ special kind of way) into way more of a statement with homemade fringe. So super duper clever. Find the step-by-step how-tos HERE at Oh Happy Day.
