Shooting Star - DIY Party Favor Bag

  1. Shooting star gift bag diy


This is what happens when a, “100 stars + Glitter and Pink Rainbow Birthday theme” request is MADE from my 5 year old⭐️🌈Shooting Stars! (It’s making my heart melt too) 


This party? It’s all about bouncing in bouncy houses (not our house) for her party at a local business near us! So if you too love the idea of making something extra special for a “away from home” kids party? The cake and party favors is the best way to go✨


Those are simple enough to be on theme (yet make it feel like them)


What I used to MAKE these?


6x3 party favors bags 

Scissors

Glue gun

Streamers (4 pack colors)

 Craft Mat

Gold Glitter Card stock 



I'd LOVE to see how you MAKE these! Feel free to tag @mama.jots on Instagram or TikTok when you do!


Happy MAKING! 

Warmly, Steph

Fake Cake DIY Gift Wrap


Fake Cake DIY
A super fun kid friendly x gift giving fake cake! 

I used a combination of crating various supplies on top our fav CHEEKS brand craft mats which meant, I was able to paint, glue gun and roll out sweet little cherry's while building my cake. All. The. Things. Want to MAKE one? Here's what I did...

Fake Cake DIY

Paint all your paper mache box’s + lids. Let completely dry


Fake Cake DIY

While they dry, wipe down your craft space. Ours is using my fav craft mat - CHEEKS brand 2.0 craft mat as I can use it to paint, glue + mold etc. All the things! As each part is detachable AND has magnetic pieces on the bottom to reconnect.


Fake Cake DIY

Using Polymer clay, roll 8-9 balls and using a small tool (I used the end of my paint brush)

to make a small hole for the pipe cleaner to go in.


Fake Cake DIY

Bake the polymer clay for 15-30 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness at 275’F

(My cherry’s were 1.5 inches thick so I baked them for 60 minutes)


Fake Cake DIY

While they bake, glue gun your ruffle ribbon to the bottom of your paper mache box.

Repeat for your second layer. 


Fake Cake DIY

Add on one last layer to the very top lid.

Next, pinch the ruffle ribbon (from hobby lobby) by using glue dots in between the layers so they 

Connect and become your “Frosting detail.”


Fake Cake DIY

Glue your glitter rope to the bottom of your cake in a wide and “U” with a point at the top.


Fake Cake DIY

Once your cherries are baked and cool. Glue gun green sparkle pipe cleaner to the Cherry hole. 


Fake Cake DIY

Glue gun your cherries to your cake.


Fake Cake DIY

Add your desired gift items inside your cake + give!
