{ A Shabby Chic 2nd Birthday }

May 20, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: girls birthday, girls birthday party, party planning, rag banner, shabby chic, shabby chic birthday party, tutu

I had so much fun sharing bits and pieces of Isabella’s second birthday party with you guys and now it’s time to share it entirely! We had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends!

The color scheme was turquoise, pinks and neutral tones and the theme was shabby chic. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a party look great and well- thought out. I get a lot of my stuff from Michaels dollar bins, dollar stores, Target dollar corner, etc. Once you’ve chosen your theme and colors, you’d be surprised how great things start coming together 🙂

Part of the excitement for me when planning my little ones birthday parties, is picking a fun, customized outfit for their special day! This year to go hand-in-hand with Isabellas vintage chic rag banner (here) I created an adorable tutu using the same technique!

You’re going to need your desired fabric, elastic, scissors, needle and thread or sewing machine.

Cut out your number, in my case 2, and turn it backwards and trace onto the fabric, then cut out. I decided to sew my number one using turquoise thread (I still haven’t busted out my sewing machine!!)

My husband got me this nifty tool to easily created snaps and buttons! I (he) decided to give it a try and it worked out perfect for this project. It’s easily hidden by simply sliding a piece of fabric directly over it!

And there you have it! A beautiful, one-of-a-kind tutu fit for any princess!!
