Gender reveal party idea - Glitter HERSHEY'S candy bars - HE or SHE - Party favor / table decoration - Pink and blue

I'm so excited to help plan a gender reveal party!!!!

 I basically forced convinced my friend that she MUST have one.

We have some time before they find out but I'm a planner. I have so many ideas that I like to get it all organized.

First I wanted to do this cute idea with the Hershey's bars. 

I used Mod Podge with a tiny paint brush and lots of patience. 

Cover with glitter and tapped off excess onto a paper. I did all the blue first so I could use the paper as a funnel to add the extra glitter back into the container.

While still wet, I used my fingernail to push the edges that weren't straight. It's not perfect but this was my first try. I got a little better with practice. 

Let dry and used a dry paint brush to remove the rest of the excess.

I made the HE in Hershey's with blue glitter and SHE with pink glitter. 

I also tried sharpies and it worked great too. I really like the glitter but if you are looking for something that is quick and easy, definitely use sharpies. 

I tried a lighter color blue and pink and they didn't show up. You have to use darker blue and pink markers.

I haven't decided to do a balloon pop or a box reveal yet. I figured I'd let the parents decide the method of the reveal and I'll fill it. 

In the meantime, I purchased the balloon kit at Wal-Mart for $4.97. It comes with a black balloon, large blue and pink confetti, and large pink, blue, and silver streamer tassels. 

I'm ordering these metallic curtains and maybe a keeper of the gender shirt. 

I have blue and pink napkins, cups, balloons, and a polka dot bowl in each color. 

I'm thinking of filling them with candy or treats and maybe with themed wrappers.

EASY 2 tier diaper cake - Baby shower idea - HOW TO MAKE tutorial - Table centerpiece or gift - 1 package of newborn diapers

I recently made a diaper cake for a baby shower and it turned out so cute. You can add gift cards or baby toys but it's so cute by itself. Could be used as a table centerpiece or decoration. 

Here is a tutorial to make a small two tier diaper cake with one package of newborn diapers. 

Supplies:

Huggies newborn diapers - 31

Ribbon

Paper shreds

Rubber bands

Hot glue

To roll the diapers, start at the top of the diaper and roll to the bottom. This will give you a nice finished side. Use a rubber band to secure.

I rolled 7 individual diapers and bunched together to make the center circle. Then used a larger rubber band to hold them in place.

Then I rolled 15 more individual diapers. 

I added another large rubber band around the center and started filling in the diapers making a ring around the original 7 in the center. 

I filled in 11 of the 15 diapers and started using the paper shreds to space out the center and outer ring. This will give you room to add the additional 4 diapers. 

 For the remaining 9 diapers I made the top tier. I overlapped the diapers vertically and rolled. Secured with a large rubber band around them. 

I filled the center with paper shreds making it a little larger. You can adjust the diaper to make them evenly spaced. 

I placed two dowels on either side of the bottom tier and slid the top tier in place. 

It actually holds pretty well. I didn't use anything extra to hold the diapers together.

I wrapped the ribbon around each tier to hide the rubber bands.

 I attached the ribbon together with hot glue at the ends. I did not attach anything to the actual diapers so not to ruin any of them. 

I printed a few graphics and attached with hot glue to the ribbon. 

I used a dowel to attach the top graphic. 

Made a small ribbon bow to hide the dowel.
