Gia’s Pink Giraffe First Birthday

Birthday Girl

A Project For: Gianna
Age: 1 year
Location: Indiana
Description:
A very pink giraffe-print inspired birthday party for my daughter's first birthday! Shades of pink, giraffe prints, tulips and pennant banner flags made her first birthday party exactly what I envisioned.
Design Inspiration:
The inspiration for this project was actually a dress that Kenley made on Project Runway: All Stars in a competition where the designers had to design a gown for Miss Piggy. I ordered the same pink giraffe print fabric for the table cloth at our party!
Decorating Style:
Fun & eclectic.
Project Details:
I DIY-ed all the paper goods (cupcake toppers, mini banner flags, food labels, etc)... I designed them in photoshop myself because I couldn't find any online that I liked enough to buy. I also made the tissue poms and banner flags out of four different fabrics from Hobby Lobby. I made all the food myself, too-- cake pops, brownies, white & pink chocolate popcorn, pink party fudge.
Pink Giraffe fabric: Fashion Fabrics Club
Favorite Items:
I LOVED the table cloth and banners. I am going to make the table cloth into curtains for her bedroom, and re-use the tissue poms and fabric banners for decoration!
Advice:
Don't be afraid to mix and match fabrics, patters and shades of the same color. And if you can't find exactly what you are looking for, try making it yourself!

I am a stay at home mom to one year old Gianna. My husband is a youth pastor and together we make our home in middle America. I love doing crafty things like sewing (I'm still just learning), designing and photography. I'm not really a fan of cooking- I'd much rather order something in. But I'm always trying new recipes, since we do all have to eat! I'm a huge fan of cake pops, palm trees, ladybugs and sleeping in. Though I don't get to eat cake pops as much as I'd like, or see palm trees as often. I also never get to sleep in. But its all worth it to raise my sweet baby girl!
