One of the easiest DIYs for Bug’s Lego superhero party also packed the most visual punch. Below is a quick tutorial on how to put together this awesome Lego statement wall.

Purchase 10″ square plates and 7″ round plates in the same hue. After searching around, I found the best selection of perfectly color matched plates at Party City.

Hot glue the round plate to the center of the square plate.

On the back, place two good sized rolls of low tac tape – I used blue painter’s tape.

Adhere the plates in columns or rows of the same color on the wall.

I choose to do just one column of each color to the ceiling, but you could easily fill a whole wall to create real Lego drama. Easy, right?!

baby shower gift : washcloth cupcakes

Posted by hayley

I was recently invited to a baby sprinkle for a friend who is pregnant with her second child. The expecting parents already own most of the traditional big ticket items and are waiting until the baby is born to find out the gender, so all the guests contributed to a group gift card in lieu of bringing presents. However, as the known “crafty friend” of the bunch, I couldn’t attend a celebration such as this without having a little something up my sleeve. Colorful baby washcloth cupcakes are my new go-to baby shower DIY and are easily whipped together with a just a couple of inexpensive infant essentials.

Materials: baby washcloths, infant-sized white turn-cuff socks, silicone cupcake liners, paper embellishments, a cupcake box and ribbon

With the tag facing up, begin by smoothing out one washcloth onto a flat surface.

Turn down the top corner to begin rolling the washcloth in on itself.

Keep going until you have a fully rolled washcloth taquito.

Set a single sock at the end of the rolled washcloth, placing the sock cuff just below the washcloth edge.

Roll the sock into the washcloth, being careful to keep everything snug until the entire length is coiled.

Tuck the washcloth coil into a silicone cupcake liner. Then, fold the sock cuff in half down around itself to make it resemble a dollop of icing.

I’ve tried using paper liners and found them to be too slippery and flimsy to properly hold the washcloth tight. The silicone provides a little grip to keep the cupcakes shaped up nicely. Plus, they’re totally reusable, and what new mom doesn’t need a few cupcakes on standby while in the throes of midnight feedings?

Garnish each cupcake with a cute embellishment. Scrapbook stickers, small pom-poms or even wrapped candies make ideal toppers.

In order to complete the presentation, I like to gift the cupcakes inside a white bakery box tied with coordinating grosgrain ribbon.
