Girls Birthday Gift: Tea Party in a Basket
Here is a fun and *free* gift I came up with for a recent birthday invite my girls were thrilled to receive and attend!
I had an ice cream bucket in my recycling bin and pulled that out - some cute wrapping paper taped around and colorful yarn dressed it right up!
I filled it with ingredients for putting on her own tea party:
* vase for flowers {recycled spaghetti sauce jar with paper and string to decorate it}
* flowers from our yard
* muffin mix
* cloth napkins
* a little tea pot
* lemonade
* muffin papers
* paper straws
* wooden gift tag {free piece that comes with canvases to hold the back into a frame, stamped with metal stamps}
* two apples
Muffin Mix recipe and printable can be found here.
Cloth napkins were *super* simple! I used pinking shears to cut squares of a thrifted Shabby Chic sheet - then ironed them and tied with twine.
I included a little card about how to serve her own tea party:
- gather leaves, flowers, grasses, berries for the center of the table
- set out the napkins and make the table pretty
- make the lemonade and muffins, slice the apple
- turn on pretty music
- invite your family and enjoy serving and fancy manners
