MY STORY

You know you are getting older when your friends start asking for help decorating baby showers for their grandchildren!! But I love all things baby, so I was up to the task!

It is also time for a new challenge at the Decorate To Celebrate Blog and using the great product from The Buckle Boutique, it was time to bring some bling to the baby shower. The Buckle Boutique offers a large array of adhesive rhinestone products. They come in great colors, are easy to cut and adhere to almost anything! And it takes little time to get your sparkle on. Check out their products: Click For The Buckle Boutique website. The Buckle Boutique Facebook page also has great ideas for your crafty inspiration.

The Buckle Boutique products used in this example are the white and pink rhinestone adhesive sheets.

I am currently researching cutting machines, but my new non-stick scissors from Westcott work beautifully on the Buckle Boutique sheets.

Here are some ideas for your next baby celebration!

YOUR TURN

Once again, all my supplies outside of my Buckle Boutique rhinestones came from my favorite dollar store. Gather up candies, invitations, containers and flowers and for very little investment, you can customize a baby shower, or any party, with some added bling.

INVITATIONS: Using store bought invitations, add a simple touch of bling to make them really pop and look even more special. A nice and easy way to customize and gives your guests a peek into the baby bling!

These sheets are so easy to cut through. Even starting off with a large sheet and cutting out smaller shapes is a breeze. And the rhinestones form a grid pattern so its so simple to cut straight lines.

CENTERPIECE: Using a plastic vase, add touches of the adhesive rhinestones as desired. I liked just putting a bit around the top and then followed some of the flower stems with the white stones. Glue on a simple flower for some dimension, add your candy and that is it.

The backing paper is very easy to remove. And the sheets stick right away but are repositionable until you are happy with the placement

I also love these green mason jars...they make a very cute table setting. Adding some simple twigs and a couple lines of the rhinestones, it makes a sweet statement for your table. Again, this could be another way to combine party decorations into party favors that your guests will actually use again.

TABLE NUMBERS: If you have assigned seating at your shower, take inexpensive containers and cut off a small piece of the adhesive rhinestones. Add number stickers, fill with mints and place on your tables. And they are fun to take home as a favor for the lucky winner at your table during one of those crazy baby shower games.

FAVOR/PLACE SETTING: I love these little mason jars I found at the dollar store. Fill with mints or Tic Tacs. Using the seal of the lid, trace around your rhinestone sticker. Peel off the backing and place onto the lid. So easy and so cute. Add some flowers for dimension. This is a very cute and inexpensive way to create shower favors for your guests. These mason jars have so many uses, people will love them. And just by changing out the color of your rhinestones and candies, you can use this for weddings, 4th of July parties, etc.

Position your shape on the back of the adhesive sheet and trace.

GIFT HOLDER: Using an inexpensive kitchen canister, cut out a strip of rhinestones and apply 'baby' stickers on top. Peel off the backing and it's just that easy. This is a fun way to give a gift of bibs, onesies, socks, etc. And it is so cute that the new Mom will want to use it in the nursery once the baby arrives.

And that's how you bling up your baby shower! With so many color choices, these ideas can be
for any holiday or celebration. Check out all the great products at The Buckle Boutique.
