Well, I loved it so much I wanted to share some of the ideas with you. First I made the invitations… little aprons, of course. I printed the text out on white paper using Little Days typefont. I love Little Days font. I drew a simple apron template, centered it over the printed text and cut them out. I glued the white aprons on red cardstock and cut around each using Fiskars Paper Edger Scissors.
It looked just like ruffled trim. I glued a piece of ribbon along the top for the apron ties. I decided the colors of the party would be red and light blue. And everything would be polka dots. Party favors are always tricky for me. The answer was to roll up my sleeves and make some aprons.
I bought fabric on sale and designed a simple little apron pattern. I enlisted my mom to help me sew. She has taught me how to squeeze blood out of a turnip… and we were able to make 8 aprons out of very little fabric.
I copied all the recipes and made them into little recipe books. For the activities, I made little pizza rounds for each girl and let them create their own mini pizzas. Because it was for little girls, I cheated and used Rhodes frozen rolls. I just rolled them out thin, pricked the dough with a fork, then pre-baked the rounds for two minutes on a pizza stone before the party. I set out all sorts of toppings for the girls to get creative. Step 2. Unfold the pocket.
On the bottom half of the pocket run some tape or a thin line of glue along both sides as close to the edge as you can. Step 5 Fold up the flap to form the pocket. Cut a piece of patterned card and stick it to the front cover. Step 6 Punch out two holes at the top where indicated by the template.
Step 7 Thread through a 6" length of string, ribbon or wool up through the left hole from the back and knot it at the back. Then thread it down through the right hole and again make a knot at the back. Step 8 Create an insert for the card with the invitation details typed or written on to it. It should measure approx 3. Slip the invitation insert into the apron pocket.
If you do not have access to a printer then you can make a template by simply grabbing some firm card from a cereal box or similar a medium to large sized plate, pencil, ruler and craft knife.
