We recently celebrated my daughter's first birthday, and the theme of her celebration was 'owls'. I had a 'hoot' putting it all together (sorry...couldn't resist)! Here are a few highlights:

| awesome photo shoot with Brooke |
It wouldn't have been a party without some crafting, though, right?? Here's the lesson for tonight: owl party favors!!!
 |
| favors! | |
These treat bags are super easy and fun to make! Be sure to customize the snacks to match your colors.
The toughest part (and I use that term extremely loosely!!) was the nose. I had to play around with this a bit to get it how I liked it, but I ended up using the same
1 3/4" scallop circle punch and cutting it down to 3 scallops:
 |
| (sorry, had to pull a glued one apart for this picture! at least the elmer's held well!!) |
Fold the two outer scallops in to the center, using a liquid adhesive (I went for good, old fashioned Elmer's) to glue the two sides together. Clip together using
mini library clips or any other strong clip and allow to dry overnight.
Fill your treat bags with goodies and staple the baggies closed. Throw a few
Glue Dots in between the bag and the front and back of the owl and press shut.
Cute, huh??
Love your Owl Theme Party!!!! I (LOVE) Owls! I haven't had a Birthday Party for my self. But I would Love to have a Owl Party! I'm going to show your Owl Cake to my Daughter and see if she could figure out how to make it. I don't understand how you got the round Shape. Thanks for Sharing your Cute Cake and Treat Bags. :0)
