Chevron Zoo Crew Office Baby Shower

The Chevron Zoo Crew Baby shower was fantastic. The mother and father-to-be were so grateful. It is my belief that even though this is an office shower, it does not mean that the decorations should be forgotten. This is my third office shower and I love creating something new for the same space. Check out my previous showers here and here

 Centerpieces were full of glitz and sparkle. You can check out my post on how I made them here. I made all the water bottle labels, and signage. As posted previously, I got the free Chevron Template from TLT Panel and the animal silhouette from Karen Whimsy

Mother and Father-to-be

One of my ultimate helpers!!! She really believes she is Vanna White.

 Once again the men were very competitive on the games. Even using two game cards at a time. 

Congratulations Parents-to-be!!!!

 Though it was a snow storm the day before and they shut down the federal government, I came out to decorate the party in my boots and all.

Glittered Safari Animals Centerpiece

 I completed the glittered safari animals for the Zoo Crew Baby Shower. I think they turned out pretty well. I'm excited about it! Check out the before and after pictures. I told you the steps I was following from the previous post here. It took me approximately 2 1/2 days. Mostly because of drying time and my work schedule. I suspect that you could probably finish this in 3 steps over 2 days. 

 I started with a grey plastic elephant, Hippo and Giraffe from the dollar section of Michael's

I used blue and green paint for plastic(purchased at Michaels) and painted the entire animal the same color as the glittered paint that I used.

 Then I sprayed them with Krylon glitter paint. Followed by Krylon clear sealant. 

Next I drilled a small hole in the bottom (slightly off centered due to the face portion of the animal being top heavy) of the animal and put a wooden dowel in the bottom. 

 Target typically sells the buckets for 2.50. I placed 2 foam squares from the dollar tree at the bottom of the bucket. I also got the grass from the dollar tree and stuck it into the green foam squares.

Check out the finish product below. I think this is the beginning of a great centerpiece.  

Zoo Crew Chevron Baby Shower Invitation

I recently completed the Zoo Crew Chevron Baby Shower Invitation. I wanted to make something very simple but remain with the theme and the feel of the shower. I got the free Chevron template from TLT Panel and the free elephant silhouette from Karen Whimsy. I wanted to add a little sparkle because I plan on bringing sparkle to the shower. Check it out!

DIY Glittered Animals

So in the last post I mention that I was going to attempt to do the glittered animals on my own to save money on the Zoo Crew Baby Shower. I went on a google search because of course I had no idea how to do this. I found a couple of blogs giving detail DIY glittered animal instructions. Check out the glittered animals that Kelly and Olive did below.
