What a better way to enjoy Summer parties than to include nautical themes for your next event. Easy favors and decorations can be created using inexpensive material such as paper, felt and our much beloved cold porcelain paste. Start by selecting a clip art image on which to use as inspiration. Now head out to your local craft stores or maybe you have these items already around the house and start crafting these cheerful summer favors and decorations. For our nautical favor bags we opted to use a life saver, anchor, and sail boat. These can be customized to match any color schemes. For our favors we went with acrylic colors in navy blue, red and white. Our favors are made using cold porcelain paste simply because it is the material we are most used to working with but these could easily be hand crafted out or heavy card stock paper, either hand cutting or using Cricut's "Life's A Beach" cartridge. Remember to always add special details to your creations. Here we choose to add jute rope and star cut outs. Other possible ideas for Summer party favors are lighthouse, seagulls, and beach sandals. Above all enjoy your Summer and when planning events remember to invite friends and family over to help out with your creations. Not only will you have made unique party favors but you will have also created unforgettable memories with the ones you love.
Have a GREAT Summer!!
