Easter 2025

 This post is extremely short, but here are three photos from our Easter 2025. The decorations were very simple because I also did a birthday party on the same day and it felt wrong to combine the two, so I decorated our house for Easter and another house for a birthday. I painted the backdrop, which was an ordinary poster, used sticks outside for the cross, and went for a dramatic complimentary color scheme of dark red and dark green (although the backdrop turned more blue than planned) for the symbolism those colors hold. And also simply because I love that color pairing, and had not done that palette for Easter before. 

Thanks for stopping by!

DIY Recycled Heart backdrop

For the Valentine's Party at the Park that I shared in my previous post, I made a heart backdrop. As promised, I present the tutorial so that you can make one too! This backdrop is easy, quick, recycles cardboard, and can be used for photo backdrops, birthdays, weddings, or other events in addition to Valentine's Day. It makes a great last-minute party decoration.

You will need:

-Cardboard (if you want it to look like mine, use the white bottom halves of clothing boxes, making sure that there is nothing on them, such as labels or unwanted colors).

-Hot glue gun with hot glue gun sticks

-String (I used yarn from the thrift store)

-Scissors

Step 1. Gather up your cardboard, and begin cutting out hearts. It's okay if they're different sizes.

Step 2. Hot glue string to the back of the hearts. I spread mine out so that the strands would be longer.

That's all there is to it! 

I plan on posting some St. Patrick's Day crafts later this week, so come back soon!
