Watermelon Party Plates

 

Last minute 4th of July party decor idea.  Red, White, and Blue decor sold out??  No problem!  You can create these watermelon party plates with stripey plates like I found at my local Big Lots or just plain green and red that you can find anywhere at any time of year.  Sprinkle a few raisins for the "watermelon seeds" look and that's all there is too it.  Too easy!!  

This is, as I said, a great last minute idea for your 4th of July cookout but will also work for any and all Summer cookouts, picnics, and gatherings.  Check out my quick YouTube tutorial here:

Enjoy! and have a wonderful, fun, and safe 4th of July!

Cow Party Plate ~ Barnyard Critter Plates ~ Party Decor

 

My Farm Animal/Barnyard Critter Plate series would not be complete without a cow!  I love his cow bell as a party favor.  You could do just these cow settings or combine them with other barnyard animals from my series like the Piggy or the Duckie Party Plate so each child gets a different critter.  I'm having a lot of fun with these barnyard critter party plates.  There are more to come, including some buggy critters as well.  Stay tuned!

Duckie Party Plate ~ Barnyard Critter Plates ~ Party Decor

 

This duckie party plate couldn't be simpler.  He's the next in my line of Critter Plates, Barnyard Edition.  Much like punch art, these critter plates are just a matter of arranging shapes and colors to create fun animals for your child's birthday party, a baby shower, or other event.  So simple and so much fun!  Wouldn't it be fun to create an identical punch art image for your party invitations? Let me know if you'd like to see a video for matching punch art.

Piggy Place Setting ~ Barnyard Critter Plates ~ Party Decor

 

This pink piggy was my first idea for cute critter party plates which sparked many more ideas.  My imagination ran wild with this one and I have so many ideas from farm animals to buggy critters and more.  Look for them all in my upcoming series of videos for more critter plates.  My place settings use elements you would already be purchasing for party decor such as plates, napkins, utensils, cups, straws, party favors, and sweet treats.  I just arrange them in a way that helps create your fun theme.  I love to create fun and whimsical party decor using inexpensive disposables to make clean up quick and easy for busy moms.  No need to commit to washing dishes all night after the event; Spend more time enjoying the occasion and your guests.

Rear View Easter Bunny Place Setting

 

The Easter Bunny place setting is even easier for the view from behind and that cotton tail is too cute!!  Use any "fluffy" sweet treat of your choice for the tail: a snowball cake, a frosted sugar cookie, a cupcake, even a fluff of cotton candy would be adorable.  Get creative and let me know what you come up with!

Easter Bunny Place Setting

Add some fun and whimsy to the children's table this Easter. These adorable bunnies would also make great place settings for a baby shower or any Springtime event. Add the candy treats for facial features or leave it simple. It's adorable both ways. Happy Easter!
