RED CARPET ((downloadable)) VIP PARTY PASS - print at home - Hollywood MOVIE NIGHT idea - DIY fancy lanyard - How to make tutorial

Hosting a Red Carpet event? These VIP Passes are such a fun party detail. If you know your RSVP list ahead of time you can even add personalized text.

FREE download below.

I love these bling lanyards but I only had 3 leftover from past teacher appreciation gifts - Sparkle tags, Pink Ribbon gifts, and more Sparkle tags.

Bummed I don't have enough for this event.

I made the tags double sided gold glitter photo on the back. Attached with double sided tape.

I thought about buying black office lanyards with clips but they weren't fancy enough.
It's a red carpet event after all.

I decided to make my own!!!

I bought 3 rolls of gold ribbon at Micheal's for $4.99 each and used a 40% off coupon. Each roll had 10 yards and made 10 lanyards with a little bit of ribbon left.

I used an award metal my son received as a template for approximate measurement. I also wanted to copy how it was put together. 

I purchased 50 gold jewelry loops for $2.99.  I ended up not liking the split rings since they scratched the tags when trying to attach. I bought single jewelry rings about the same size. Just bend to open and bend back. 120 (mix of large and small) for $3.99.

I didn't want to get the sewing machine out so I tried to hand sew the ribbon but that wasn't happening. The metallic strands just came apart. Then I tried hot glue but it just peeled off.

OKAY. Plan C.

 I tried super glue. Lol. FINALLY that worked.

I applied the super glue at an angle. I didn't take a pic of the glue but marked on the photo the angle I applied it.

Let dry.

Cut along the angle, just before the line of super glue. 

Open ribbon so it makes a V shape.

Take the end and fold it over.

This makes the flap that attaches the ring.

I used super glue to attach and held in place with a clothes pin until dry.

One down and 6 more drying. I let the glue dry over night but I'm sure you could work on them sooner.

I added one more ring on the VIP tag and attached the two rings.
Again, I didn't like the split rings on the tags. They attach like key rings and it scratched the top of the tag. I'll take a picture of the new rings and update.

Use a hole punch at the top.

All my tags were personalized and the names added near the bottom.

Creepy HUMAN EYEBALL deviled eggs - HALLOWEEN party food/appetizer idea - MONSTER eyes - Tutorial - How to - KID or ADULT parties

This was a trial run and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! So cool! So creepy!

I originally made these for our Halloween party last year. Made the test run and then tried to make them look like zombie eyes but it was a total FAIL! I wanted the white part green and the food color looked green in the pot I was soaking them in but they actually came out more blueish. Reminded me of something from SpongeBob. Lol!

I wish I had made HUMAN EYES or test run the color prior to a party. 

Video tutorial

Be creative! Blue, green, brown, red or a mix of colors. 

Supplies: Jumbo black olives Food color Large icing tip Milkshake straw Paint brushes or tooth picks

Hard boiled eggs. 

Cutting:

Cut off only a small portion of the narrow end of the egg. It might be a little harder to get they yolk out but slowly break it apart.

Make your favorite deviled egg recipe.

Large icing tip to remove the very center of the egg.

Milkshake straw (larger straw) to remove the"pupil"

Use the same straw to remove a piece of black olive.

Paint whatever eye color you want. 

Put it all back together with the olive pupil.

Fill with deviled egg mixture.

And gently add red "veins" to the side of the egg. It will bleed so use a fine paint brush or toothpick. Try to make the lines as thin as possible. 

Ta-da!!! I served the zombie eyes on spaghetti dyed black for the party. Looked awesome!
