Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! It's time for another fun challenge at Decorate to Celebrate!! For challenge #79, we are asking you to create Outdoor BBQ or Birthday Decorations!! Let's celebrate everything wonderful about neighborhood get-togethers, reunions, and grills or birthdays with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more :)
For my outdoor party project, I created a lighted arrow to guide guests to the party :) I had so much fun with this...and I will definitely be making more of these!! It's one of my favorite projects!! My Dad had a huge hand in this. I outlined the arrow on 1/4" plywood and he cut it out with his table saw. We then marked off the holes for the lights and he used his drill press to drill the holes...I did do the last hole, though :) Once he sanded it smooth, I decopaged paper from Colorbok's Under the Boardwalk stack with ModPodge, poking the papers through the holes. Once it was dry, I pushed the lights through the holes and hot glued them into place. "Party" was cut with my Cricut. Yes, I said Cricut!! I did have to dust her off and sweet talk her since it's been so long :) Plus, I had to try to remember how to use my Gypsy :) The font is from Base Camp and I cut it in LG Orange Vinyl and Black Vinyl for the shadow.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
