I am fortunate to be able to work with the 8-11 year old girls at church (Activity Days). We have the best time at our activities! We are hosting a Mother’s Day lemonade party in two weeks and have had a lot of fun planning it! We wanted an activity for the girls to do with their mothers while the guests arrive. Everyone knows that a tea party is all about the feminine touches; flowers, pearls, dainty finger foods, and of course—tea (or lemonade in our case).

I saw these darling fascinators from A Bushel and a Peck and knew they’d be perfect! We came up with our own spin and I am absolutely thrilled with how they turned out.

I made two as examples and will have a table set out with headbands, flowers, feathers, birds, and hot glue guns. The headbands will already be prepared with the felt and tulle, making the activity quick and easy for both mothers and daughters.

You’ll need a bunch of flowers.

3 flowers for each headband is a good number.

Note: I found all of these at the Dollar Tree store, cut off the stems off, and placed them in a basket. I saved a ton of money by purchasing them here vs. Michaels or Joann’s.

You’ll also need:

1 plain headband (purchased here in a pack of 48)

2 (5″ circles of white felt)

24″ of tulle (purchased here)

1 bird (Michael’s)

2 feathers (Michael’s)

scissors.

wire cutters to trim stems from flowers, if needed.

Note: I wanted to use these birds, but didn’t allow enough time for shipping. If you have the time, they’d be perfect! They have them on Amazon for bit more, but we needed enough for 28 headbands so the felt stickers were more within our budget.

Cut two small slits in one circle of felt. Slide the headband through both slits.

Cut a length of tulle 24″ long. Gather the tulle and hot glue to the top of the headband. Hot glue the second circle of felt on top, sandwiching the tulle in-between the two circles of felt.

Now for the fun part!

Glue 3 flowers onto the center of the headband. Add a couple of drops to the ends of the feathers and stick them into place, making sure they stand up to make the hat a bit taller.

Hot glue the bird onto the hat.

Now that you have a darling tea party hat for yourself, go ahead and make one for a friend!

I can see my girls wearing their tea party hats on a regular basis. Ruby asked if she could have the one that I am going to wear to the tea party. I’m thinking that she will get more use out of it than I will, ha!

    Do you need hot glue or is there any other glue that would work as well?

      Hi! Hot glue is definitely the quickest. You could probably use a white craft type glue, but would need to hold everything together as it dries. Hope that helps!

    The hats are adorable – and easy. Can’t wait to use this craft with my granddaughter when she gets a bit older. Thanks!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat. Linked in stories. ❤️

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
