lolly party invite

Been trying to get round to posting this for ages...preferably before the summer was up! Here’s a very straightforward DIY invite where most of the work has already been done for you, which means they honestly don’t take very long at all. Be advised; they are not edible. Those sprinkles may look tasty but they won’t taste too good. Download the lolly invites here.
You'll need:
  • The free downloadable designs printed onto card
  • Scissors
  • A selection of 2mm multi-coloured beads
  • Wooden lolly sticks
  • All-purpose glue
  • Tape
  • Spray mount 
To make:
  1. Cut out the ice lolly sides
  2. Then paint the top section of each ice lolly front with your glue. Make sure all of it is coated but don’t over saturate the card.
  3. Sprinkle your beads over the glue and leave to dry.
  4. Tape the backs sides and attach your lolly sticks with strips of tape.
  5. Spray mount the back of your beaded sides and adhere to the back sides, making sure to line up the edges.
  6. Press down gently and you’re ready to write your invites.
I made them so that they would fit in a standard envelope, so you can send them on their merry way if you want to. See, I told you it was straightforward. I hope these give you an excuse for a summer party!



don't wait for summer


Ok so we are still waiting for Summer to come and say hello but here are a few bright little things to cheer things up a bit. I have to say I've always been a big fan of a limited colour palette but I'm slowly starting to change my mind and embrace the rainbow!
  1. Mini lanterns from Typo
  2. Nail varnishes from Barry M.
  3. Bring back multi coloured sprinkles. They shouldn't just be reserved for kids birthday parties!
  4. Geometric exercise book
  5. Candy cracker free from Eat Drink Chic blog. 
  6. Pink luggage labels from Knot and Bow
  7. Birthday card from Typo
  8. Forget pastel macaroons, put a few more drops of food colouring in the bowl. Macaroons from this lovely blog.
