The Super Hero Squad Invite

By 1 Comment

At our house it is all about the boys, so amid the collection of transformers and tools strewn about it was no surprise that my four year old asked for a super hero party. Honestly, I could not have been happier with his choice. There are so many fun avenues to explore with this theme.
We’ll be sharing a whole series of posts on how to throw your own super hero squad party so stay tuned for all the how-to details on decor, activities, food and more. For now, let’s talk invites!

Invites
The invitation really sets the tone for the party. It not only explains the details for the upcoming event, it is the guests first introduction to the theme. Trust me on this one and go with paper invites rather than online. It is more personal and your attendance will double. The only kids that did not show up this year were the ones with email or phone invites. Crazy!
We went with a vintage superman comic feel for our invite, keeping the design simple, but fun. I printed them on 4×6 photo cards. The invites were designed by the fabulous Key Lime Digital Designs and Kendra made a blank template of the invite just for you to download FREE!
So, invite the super hero squad over and check in later for more posts on all the details for decor, activities, food, party favors and more for your own super hero squad party!! A new post in the series will go live every few hours today!

DIY Under $5: Make Stockings

By 2 Comments

Last year, right before Christmas I realized that with the birth of our second son in November we were short one stocking. That of course wouldn’t do, so I decided to make stockings. I always loved the look of cable knit stockings so I decided to make stockings out of old sweaters. Lucky for me it is most delightfully simple.

(hard to get a great picture of the texture at 8 pm)

I purchased sweaters at the thrift store, but you could use some you own if you like the colors.
  1. Turn the sweater inside out and use the finished bottom of the sweater as the top opening of your stocking.
  2. Trace the shape of an old stocking on to the sweater with a sharpie.
  3. Cut out the shape and sew the edges together with a sewing machine.
This is one of the few sewing projects I have done completely on my own. Trust me it is so easy to make stockings!

Now let’s see what you’ve been up to!


I enjoy so much your $5 projects that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!

Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
  • No linking giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!
