2014 FREE printables - HAPPY NEW YEAR - TAGS & SUBWAY ART - parties, gift bags, decoration

This is the last week of 2013 and I'm slowly transitioning out of Christmas mode (which seemed to go by in a flash) and now thinking HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last year I posted our kid friendly New Year's Eve activities and I'm doing again this year!

I won't get to post until after it's over to keep everything a surprise for the boys BUT I will tell you I did repeat a few activities and added some new ones. Photobooth, glow-in-the-dark silly string fight, confetti poppers, more minute to win it games, year in review with photos and mini canvas painting.... so far. SUPER EXCITED! 

For now here are some free printables

I made some tags but they were lacking something.....GLITTER!!! So here are my really really glittery tags. They can be used for anything! Cupcake toppers, desserts, gift tags, etc!

Examples how to use:

Tags on cute desserts like HERE

"Nutty" Class/Neighbor/Teacher GIFT - Thanksgiving ACORN treats - free downloadable TAGS!

I saw these on pinterest and thought they would make a cute gift for the boys to hand out to class....then I thought they would also be cute in the teacher lounge...THEN....I thought they would be cute to hang on my neighbors doors. :) We also kept some for our house for Thanksgiving.

So we made a TON...ummm....the boys made a TON!!!!! :)

I've included FREE downloadable tags too! See below

So cute!

We decided to make BOTH Golden Mini Oreos and Nutter Butter Bites with CARMEL, PUMPKIN SPICE and REGULAR kisses with alternating butterscotch and chocolate morsels. 

Make ALL combinations or make none! (cheesy Go Big or Go Home applied to these cookies...nevermind :) )

I put the boys to work! I melted the candy melts and bagged in a ziplock with a wilton tip #3

TA-DA!!! 

The verdict is in and Nutter Butter with the pumpkin spice kiss was voted the best!

Left over kisses and one empty candy jar. Since I didn't have enough to fill it to the top I used a paper towel roll to fill space in the center.

DIY Turkey Treat Holder - Any treat on a stick - Cake pops, marshmallows, oreos, or fruit! FREE printable - Thanksgiving idea

This turned out sooooo cute!!! I made two large turkeys for the boys to bring to school. One for the teacher lounge at the middle school and the other for a Thanksgiving themed teacher luncheon at the elementary school. HUGE hit! 

It can be used to display ANY TREAT ON A STICK!! I made chocolate dipped marshmallows but you could do cake pops, dipped oreos, or fruit! So excited to share!!!!

 5x7 and  8x10 free download below. Both super cute!

First I started with the treats!!! Chocolate dipped marshmallows with fall sprinkles.

Full tutorial and more pictures for the dipped marshmallows visit THIS POST

and I used the same chocolate from THIS POST

Chocolate

Vanilla

I bagged each one. Not as bad as you think :)

Matching ribbon

Alternated ribbon colors. 

Now for the turkey!!!!

Supplies

tissue paper (optional)

8x10 or 5x7 turkey print

spray paint (optional)

foam ball

glue gun

clay pot

I don't know the size of the pots but the balls fit deep inside not overlapping the edges. I didn't want the ball to push into the photo.

5x7 print I used a 4 inch ball and the 8x10 print I used a 6 inch ball

 8x10 print I used a 6 inch ball and  the 5x7 print I used a 4 inch ball 

I cut the bottom part of the turkey off 

This is optional but I didn't like the bright white foam ball. I covered the ball with tissue paper. This would make the color match and easy to poke the marshmallows through.If you spray paint it, use floral or styrofoam safe paint. 

NOTE: I hot glued the paper down around the ball and the ball to the pot. BUT it is really top heavy so if it falls over the ball might tear away from the paper and fall out. I choose to do the second one a little different. I hot glued the ball in place first, then covered and glued the paper over. Cut along the edges to remove the excess paper. It didn't look as clean but still looked good.

Hot glued the top of the turkey on the edge of the pot. Then glued the bottom just underneath so the turkey print wouldn't be bent. You can't tell unless you tilt the pot up.

Made tags for each marshmallow. I had to tags so I alternated which one went in front so the teachers could see both. I had two so I used double sided tap and put them on the side of the ribbon. The one for the teacher luncheon I just stuck one tag in the middle.

Now I'm ready to place them. I started in the middle so it would look kinda of symmetrical. (I'm a weirdo I know) but then you just try to squeeze them close together.

TA DAAAAA!!! Pictures don't do it justice. It's HUGE!!!

8x10 holds 65-75 and the 5x7 holds 35-45 dipped marshmellows
