Breakfast at Tiffany Christmas Ornaments

Today I was wrapping Christmas gifts and was searching for red ribbon in my craft cabinet. When I came across this black pearl ribbon and I thought it would look fantastic on a Breakfast at Tiffany Christmas ornament.

So I found some  silver and turquoise scrapbook paper and using a scalloped punch, and two different sized round punches I quickly made around 10 ornaments. The punches go on sale at Michael's and Hobby Lobby. But if the punch isn't on sale just use a coupon!

The Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany photo is from a pack of playing cards I bought at Michael's in the dollar section. I bought the black pearl ribbon at Hobby Lobby. I used a glue gun to adhere all three circles and the black pearl ribbon.

Then I used a thin piece of turquoise ribbon taped on the back of the ornament for the hanging  hook.

While I was in my craft cabinet - I pulled out a bunch of other supplies to make some fun crafts! I really don't need to go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's for a few months! My craft closet looks like a really messy craft store right now!

So keep checking back - I have some fun and easy ideas!

Winter Quarter Finals Treat Bags for the Sorority Girls

I am finished with the Sorority Good Luck Winter Quarter Treat Bags! I made 41 bags! They are currently all over my dining room table!

The theme of the bags is "Breakfast at Tiffany." The items are in black  bags with the girls name written on a Breakfast at Tiffany handmade card. For privacy issues I am not showing the tags I made but take my word for it - they are really cute!

Each bag contains:

A cup of chicken soup.

A box of Cracker Jacks (an idea from the movie).

A packet of hot chocolate. They say chocolate helps with your concentration.

And a packet of instant oatmeal.

An individually wrapped blueberry muffin. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

A granola bar in chocolate themed flavors.

And an oatmeal creme cookie.

.

Each girl also gets a small diamond tiara. You can't have a Breakfast at Tiffany themed bag without a diamond tiara!

A Tiffany decorated cookies and cream Hershey bar - I made these special for the girls. I always say it just takes a minute or two to make something look a little special - these took hours to make special. But I enjoyed making them!

A Tiffany blue lollipop with a silver heart charm - I also made these special for the girls!

I also made these little blue boxes filled with silver Hershey kisses and tied with a diamond ring.

The final thing that I made the girls is a Breakfast at Tiffany necklace, ring or pin and I put them in a handmade modge podged little box.

Here are some photos of the rings.

Here is a picture of the little jewelry box that I made.  I put the handmade ring, necklace or pin inside this little box.

I really enjoyed making all of these treats for the girls and putting the bags together. I am also going to add a small Starbucks card - hopefully I will be able to go to Starbucks during an off time in the next few days - I am sure they are going to enjoy making 41 cards for $3.50 each! Then I will send the bags to the sorority house.

I also wanted to tell you that I had a few extra muffins, granola bars etc. I put them in my food pantry bag - each week I buy a few items to bring to the food pantry at our church - so the extras will be helping a hungry family.

I hope all of the girls ace their finals!

Breakfast at Tiffany Jewerly

I have been making and buying treats for the "Breakfast at Tiffany" themed goodie bag that I am making for the sorority girls.  I saw some beautiful "Breakfast at Tiffany" themed jewelry on Etsy. However, it was over budget! So I decided to make my own jewelry using Modge Podge and some Post-its.

I found some "Breakfast at Tiffany" Post-it notes at Michael's for $1. Bargain!

Then I bought some Podgable shapes.

And of course a bottle of Modge Podge.

I cut out the images from the Post-its and used three coats of the Modge Podge.

I also added little beaded pearl and silver ribbon around the edges with a hot glue gun. The pearl ribbon is also from Michael's.

I strung the necklaces with extra little silver heart charms or diamond rings. The thin Tiffany colored ribbon is from JoAnne Fabrics - it was on sale.

I happened to have a bunch of silver rings in my craft cabinet and I simply hot glued the ring to the back of each little shape.

I also had some pins in my craft cabinet. So I glued the pin on the back of some of the larger images.

I also Modge Podged images onto a little white box - I am using these boxes as the jewelry box. So for the cost of one necklace on Etsy - I made 41 pieces of jewelry and 41 little boxes. It was a ton of work - but totally worth it!

Breakfast At Tiffany Lollipops for the Sorority Girls

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was making "Breakfast at Tiffany" Themed Winter quarter Finals treat bags for Noelle's sorority.  So to add to the that bags I made some Tiffany themed lollipops!

I think they came out super cute! I bought the Tiffany blue colored lollipops at Party City in the wedding candy section. They were $6.99 for 24 lollipops.

They have almost every color of lollipop at Party City.

And the little silver heart charms are from the wedding section at Michael's - near the wedding invitations.

I just tied a thin white ribbon from Michael's to the silver heart charm and with a dab of hot glue adhered  the charm and ribbon to the center of the lollipop. So sweet and so easy.

This would make a cute favor for a shower or birthday party. But don't they scream "Breakfast at Tiffany?"

Breakfast at Tiffany Treats

I am making some finals treat bag treats for Noelle's sorority. My theme for the treat bags is "Breakfast at Tiffany!" So I am making some fun pretty Tiffany themed treats and of course I am going to add some individually wrapped muffins, granola bags and snack foods - but I just had to add some pretty treats.

I think I was humming Moon River while I was making these treats.

The first treat that I made was a blue box filled with silver Hershey Kisses. I bought the blue boxes with lids, little rings and white grosgrain ribbon at Michael's. I bought two huge bags of Hershey Kisses at Walmart.

The boxes and rings were in the wedding party favor section of Michael's.  It took a while to make the boxes - because first you make the box and then make a lid.

The rings that I used to try on the package would also look fantastic on a cupcake.

Each 2 inch box takes between 10 to 11 Hershey Kisses.

The next treat that I made is a Cookies and Cream Hershey Bar with an Audrey Hepburn tag.

I bought the Tiffany colored wrapping paper at Target. The Audrey picture is from a set of playing cards that I picked up at Michael's.

This is my favorite picture from the movie - She is looking in the windows of Tiffany while eating a croissant.

So using a circle cutter I cut out a picture of Audrey's face and glued it on an index card circle then glued a circle of pearl ribbon around the picture of Audrey.

I bought this sweet pearl ribbon at Michael's. I think the pearls glued on the tag really give it that "Breakfast at Tiffany" look.

I wrapped the Cookies and Cream hershey bars with the Tiffany blue wrapping paper and then taped the Audrey tag on top - it makes a really wonderful presentation.

The last project that I made was tags for the girls bags - I just glued a Breakfast at Tiffany playing card onto an index card and wrote the name underneath.

Keep checking back - I am going to add part two of my "Breakfast at Tiffany" ideas.

Today is March 1st! In March I am planning some fun posts for St. Patrick's day, March Madness Basketball, Easter and of course more Breakfast at Tiffany ideas. So keep checking back and sign up to be a follower or to get new posts via e-mail.

Tiffany Blue Cake Balls

I made Tiffany blue cakeballs for Noelle's birthday.

To get the Tiffany blue color - we tinted melted white chocolate with a combination of royal blue and teal food coloring - swirling in a little bit of color at a time.

Then I put them in mini pink cupcake liners and placed them tightly in a box. I think they should sell these at Tiffany!

Or they could send them to all of their top customers as a thank you!

Noelle's Birthday Favors - Breakfast at Tiffany Party!

Noelle had a breakfast at Tiffany themed birthday party.

I put a black satin headband, pearl bracelet, rhinestone bracelet and a pretend diamond ring in each goodie bag.

Wait - there's more! I added a pretend cigarette holder and candy cigarettes. Of course I tied the goodie bag with Tiffany blue ribbon.

Note: I do not promote smoking in any form - and although I provided some bubble gum cigarettes - neither of my children is allowed to chew gum.
