Party Night

This week has been a great week. I got to enjoy the week with my friends and we even had party! So that is where this weeks craft comes from. I am currently in the process of training for the academic music fraternity for women, Sigma Alpha Iota and something we have to do during the training process is throw a dinner for the sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota and the brothers of Phi Mu Alpha. The party was thrown with the help of the Probationary Members of Phi Mu Alpha and I must say it was a great success. :D

For this party, I was doing the decorations. I actually found a Pinterest idea and decided to try it myself. What we used is a bunch of wine glasses, tea candles, and Styrofoam cups. We were able to get everything from the dollar store too. We had to make center pieces for the tables so what we were theoretically doing was place the tea light candles in the wine glasses with water in it. And once we light the candles then we would put the cups on top of them to make little lamps. But here's how it turned out!

These were the wine glasses we got. And the tea lights. We actually ended up putting water in the glasses to try and prevent an accidental fire in case someone spilt one.

These are the cups we used. They started white and we painted them red and then added black paint to add some dectoration on them. 

 Unfortunately for us, we didn't think through that fire burns things and that styrofoam melts pretty easily, so during the party, we had to take the tops off the cups before I got a picture of them. But they looked really cute.

The idea would have worked better if we had used paper cups instead of styrofoam, but the concept was cute.

This is me and Alex at the dinner last night. He is a brother of Phi Mu Alpha so he was at the dinner with me! Even though he was just sitting there while I was working. It was fun and I'm glad he was there. 

Till Later,
