Craftibilities: wal-mart

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.

Having a winter themed party or event? These cute table centerpiece were made in minutes!

Supplies:

Glass jar

Silver tree, ornaments, or snowflakes

Fake snow

Jumbo glitter (optional)

I found the glass jars and fake snow at the dollar store and silver Christmas trees at Wal-Mart for $1.00. Jumbo glitter was from the jingle bell & glitter ornament craft.

Fill jar with fake snow. If you have a taller embellishment like the Christmas tree, only add 1/4 to the jar. If you have smaller embellishment like ornaments or snowflakes, you can add more snow.

I added the jumbo glitter to make the snow sparkle a little.

Mix around the edges so you can see the glitter from the outside of the glass jar.

Add the tree and DONE!

Set on glitter scrapbook paper or tray.

The silver plates were used from my past Halloween parties in 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2017. I also used them for our NYE cookie patter. Purchased at Michael's years ago.
