Baby Shower Progress!
I thought I'd share a few photos of the "Lavender Elephants" baby shower decor so far! :o)
When I looked for supplies I completely forgot to look in my regular fabric stash(duh.) so I discovered some cute polka-dot that I mixed with the nylon chiffon to make no sew flowers (my tutorial HERE) with the buttons in the middle for a cute little garland.
Then I found some egg-shaped paper doilies left over from the Easter potluck! They were a super bright purple, but when I flipped them over they were just right. So I printed out an elephant clip art and traced it onto purple paper and glued on sparkly gem eyes and a tiny silk flower. I think they turned out cute! And free, yay!
You know, working with all this lavender may have changed my mind about purple just a little bit. It's really kind of pretty! :O)
So the shower is tomorrow.
Ha.
As in, the day after today.
...I have a lot of work to do!
Wish me luck!
Love,
Disney
i'm a sucker for all things elephants, and I just love those doily-elephants! They are just darling. I love what you've done with this theme-- I'm sure the mom to be will be over the moon!
ReplyDelete<3 the elephants!
ReplyDeleteAmazin creations! Love them.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you are such a good friend! And so creative. Everything is adorable.
ReplyDeleteelephants have tails, you should add tails to the. They are super cute and everything, but they would be really super cute with small tails.
ReplyDeleteHaha! How'd I miss that? Thanks! :)

I'm definitely not a huge purple fan either, but it's looking good!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm learning to enjoy the occasional lavender and purple. Your elephants are cute with or without their tails!
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative! I LOVE the elephants!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE! What a fab idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNooooo! Don't go over to the dark (purple) side Disney!!!! You must stay strong. You're probably just not thinking straight after coming up with and making all those adorably creative decorations :)

ReplyDeleteThose elephants are genius not to mention CUTE! Ha ha! They make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love purple. I think it's always been my favorite color.
Can't wait to see the photos!

What a clever way to tone down the too-bright purple on the doilies! I'm going to have to look at the backs of things now! The garlands are amazink!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you rethought it, super cute for a shower! If I have a girl someday purple might have to be the color for my shower! Too bad no dark royal purple. That's my fav.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks fantastic. Love the garlands!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love it when we have to get creative with what we have on hand, I always get way more inspired than I thought possible! I hope the shower goes well, I know the decorations will be adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented~~ all of this is so beautiful for a shower. Pinning now!
ReplyDeleteI was so curious about the elephant part - brilliant! Love them! Everything looks great, love the colors, too :)
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute!
ReplyDeleteDisney, you are so creative. I love everything and can't wait to see the end product. <3
ReplyDelete:( I just remembered a cute elephant invitation I made for a friends baby shower. I wrote out the invitation following the outline of an elephant, then just drew in an eye, ear and tail. Hope that makes sense - so the writing was the frame to the elephant - I then scanned it and printed it on pretty lilac paper. One of my better invitations.
ReplyDeleteYour creativity amazes me more and more each time I check out your blog! So very cute. God bless. Dawn
ReplyDeleteI am a little late in seeing this post but all of these are sooo cute! amazing for not having much to work with! :0)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the final product!
