DIY Fiesta Cascarones (Confetti Eggs)

Every year I look forward to a huge five day Fiesta celebration called Old Spanish Days! Aside from all the delicious food, the next best treat are the confetti eggs (aka Cascarones). They are egg shells filled with confetti that you crack over someone's head and shower them with the confetti inside.

Want to whip some up with the kids? Let's get started!

What you'll need:

• Uncooked Eggs
• Confetti
• Tissue paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Egg dying kit
• Pens, crayons, glitter, spray paint, etc...

 1. Tap a small piece of the top of the egg off.
2. Empty out the contents of the egg.
3. Wash the inside of the shell with water. Let dry.
4. Dye the eggs per egg dying kit instructions.
5. Set them to dry again with the hole facing down. I used stick pins on egg cartons to allow the dye to drip off.

6. Fill the eggs with the confetti.
7. Apply glue around the top perimeter of the egg.
8. Secure a square of tissue paper on top.
9. For an extra touch paint designs or add glitter for some sparkle.
10. Let the smashing begin :)

Be warned! Confetti will be everywhere... For days.

 Viva La Fiesta!

Felt Princess Tiara

I had a request from a little princess. She wanted a tea party with her friends that included lots of tulle, glitter and of course tiaras!

I didn't want to buy the plastic store bought kind, so I made a felt version. They are super easy to make & in just a few minutes you can create your own.

What you'll need:
Glue gun
Felt squares
Headband
Scissors
Rhinestone crystals

Here we go...

First I made a template by freehand

Using the templates, cut out tiara pieces

Wrap your large felt piece around the headband. Run the glue along the center of the headband and press to hold the felt down. Next match up the two ends of the tiara and add glue to hold it in place. Glue down the rest of the tiara and cut off excess.

Glue down the smaller piece of your crown and add rhinestone crystals. You could leave them blank & let your guests decorate their own special tiara with rhinestones, sequins, ribbon, etc.

She couldn't wait to try on the first finished tiara!

I love how each guest will get her very own and original tiara!
