I realized I never shared this DIY from Edie’s birthday party in November! So here’s the thing: my intention was to have a super simple get together for Edie’ first birthday since I tend to be a pretty practical kind of person and throwing parties aren’t usually my favorite things. Problem is, all these little party crafts were way too sweet and temping for a first birthday. I kind of started getting carried away: buying ridiculous amounts of balloons, making giant Edie wall art (my favorite!), a photo garland from highlight of her first year, a paper doll Edie dress up game, and making these felt party hat garlands. Whoops!
But they were so easy. Here’s how we made them (and of course I had to throw in one more cute photo of Edie turning 1!)

1. Cut semi circles from felt (I wasn’t super exact, there was a lot of cutting to be done and my motto is done is better than perfect).
2. Fold the semi circles to form a cone and hot glue.
3. Add a pom pom on top with a dab of glue as well.
4. String with embroidery floss and a needle. Stringing it through the top portion of each hat.
this wrapping paper is adorable! we don’t do gifts for Valentine’s Day, but if we did I would totally be using this!
annnnnd! I just realized I wrote this comment on the wrong post, oops! The garland is adorable too 🙂
