My bestie Shauna of www.stayinghomesawyer @stayinghomesawyer and I do a weekly DIY party themed challenge. This week we challenged each other to show a simple way to present sparklers (lit or not) with an adorable printable tag! Be sure to check out both of our ideas and participate weekly on challenge ideas and votes to gather cute ideas and win free coffee on us!

I know my kiddos are still a little apprehensive to hold the sparker so I created this cute way to present the sparklers and then made a simple USA playdough sparkler “holder” for them to put the sparklers in and watch them go!

Do not light the sparklers in the tumbler! That is just the cute way to gift them!

The roller skate and sunshine plates were all the inspiration I needed! As soon as I saw these both pop up on The Party Darling’s website I knew I had to throw a party around them. The vibrant colors and design of the sunshine plate was what inspired the amazing balloon backdrop by Aquarelle USA.

How could any kiddo not love this theme? Each place setting contained the cutest mini jelly bags by Festivefetti, retro flower sunnies, groovy tattoos, and metallic party blower, all sprinkled with the most adorable custom confetti by Festivefetti.

One of my favorite ideas was to use the custom confetti to make confetti bomb sticks! I ordered thick clear straws from Amazon and used a candle to heat the end and gently pressed it to create a closure at the bottom. I then filled the straw with confetti, warmed the top end of the straw to carefully to close it, and added a metallic and puffy yarn ribbon.

My fellow friend Deb of @myfourwonders shared this DIY boho picnic table made from IKEA materials last summer and as soon as I saw it I KNEW I would be creating it. I am not sure what took me so long to replicate it but I sure am glad I finally did! Here is the scoop!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

2 IKEA SNIDAD baskets

1 IKEA LAGKAPTEN Tabletop (78-3/7 x 23-5/8″)

At least 4- two Hole Strap U Brackets 

HERE’S HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE PICNIC TABLE:

Using scissors or snippers, remove the wrapped rattan that attaches the handles to the baskets.

Gently wiggle the handles off the basket. They are attached by a few small nails.

Flip the baskets over so the base of the basket is now the top.

Use the U-shaped brackets to attach the baskets to the countertop.

*This step is optional but it will help create stability and keep the countertop from shifting on the baskets*

Freaking out about where you will store this bad boy…DON’T. Remember, it was originally 3 separate pieces and can be disassembled just as easily as it is constructed. Just slide the countertop under your bed or stand it in the back of a closet and use the baskets as practical storage and home décor.

Now, style away and enjoy!!
