Farm Party Findings…

6 CommentsFriday • January 28, 2011 • by Jennifer

I have been meaning to write a more detailed post about all of my Farm Party Findings and with all of the ones I am working on for clients I thought I better get to it!!

This was originally a frame I had in Ava’s room and I thought it would work well for the party…I got it at Home Goods and just gave it a couple of coats of Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze I got at Michaels

I also used it to paint her big letter A…which of course I got at Home Goods (I also got the Beverage Dispenser there too!)

The 2 Galvanized Tins that held the water and the PB&J’s were actually from Lowes Home Improvement in the Paint Isle!!!

The 2 Red Wagons I found at my local Drug Store!!…They were in the seasonal isle back in August, about a month before the party, so I snagged them up fast…I have since seen the small one it at Michaels when they had their fall decorations out.  They were originally a dirty orange color but a quick can of Krylon Red Spray Paint fixed them right up!!

I used Mason Jars with handles from Hobby Lobby…gosh I love that store…too bad the nearest one is an hour away!!  They go on sale alot so watch for them to be 50% off!!

Speaking of Hobby Lobby, that is where I found these wooden crates I used under the cupcake stand and for the hot dog rolls…They were given a few coats of Kryon Satin Ballet Slipper

The Cupcake Stand I found at The Christmas Tree Shop and the 2 Stands holding the Caramel Apples I made were from Home Goods…They were already pink and the Krylon Satin Ballet Slipper Spray Paint I used for the crates were a perfect match!!

The giant Mason Jar was from Target!!

The Favor Baskets came from Michaels..and they also go on sale often!!  They were bigger than I had originally planned…The ones I wanted were the same baskets from Hobby Lobby but much smaller…I made 3 trips out there and they never had enough for everyone (I needed 24!!)…So I found these at Michaels and they worked out well…I gave one to each family, almost everyone was a brother and/or sister pair so the basket had to hold 2 Caramel Apples, 2 Old Fashioned Party Crackers, 2 Rock Candy Swizzle Sticks, 2 Farm Stickers and a Farm Board Book for the little ones…Each Basket was lined with fabric (which I’ll list in the next post:) that I cut up with a scalloped rotary cutter and I made the Fabric Rosettes, which were also Hair Clips!! (Quick Tutorial Coming!!!)

The Old Fashioned Party Crackers were made by me and I will have them in my Esty Shop (if you need them now, just convo  or email me!!)

Along with all of the other paper details you see like the cupcake wrappers

and Water Bottle Wrappers & Stickers…I’ll be putting up a list of all of the Custom Favor Packaging I can offer in a bit…

The Lunch Bags were from Party City…They originally had handles, but I just cut them off!

Next up is the Fabrics….
