Craft Power!

There has been lots of crafting going on here lately. I've been doing lots of DIY stuff for the kiddo's second birthday party. It's going to be a zoo/safari themed party. I made the invitations. (Yep, me! I did it all by myself!) I found some awesome printables through Pinterest for the goodie bags, drink holders, and a birthday banner. I've also been trying to decide what DIY decorations of the animal variety that I want to do. I have opted to go with this cute zebra print table cloth since I want to decorate with animals. I found this on the Martha Stewart website, and instantly fell in love it with.  I decided to try and make one today. It came out SO cute!
So, the coloring part was easy. I wonder how the rest of it is going to go. 

ADORABLE!


I forgot about backing it with something, so my little guy is very flimsy, but I'm sure I can make him work. Also, my blowers were too big for the hole. I think I'm going to just cut that part off and use him as a decoration.

Also, the kiddo LOVES Super Why, and I found this puzzle at Kohl's on sale for $5. Since she's too little to actually put it together, I thought it would make a great decoration for her bedroom. (Her bedroom just has bare walls, minus the frog on a mini-canvas I got out of the dollar bin at Target.) Once I find my hammer and some nails, she will now have this:

So, my border isn't perfect, but I think it turned out pretty awesome for my first time with puzzle glue!
