AKIHIRO'S BAPTISM

I've been busy all day yesterday, making stuff for a friend for her son's baptismal that will take place this coming Easter Sunday (April 24, 2011). I work with his invitation, party favor and cupcake topper.

Here's the details:

PARTY FAVOR

For his favor I used baby bootie key chain as an alternative to those figurines.

INVITATION

My personal computer crashed and I still need to send it to computer repair shop, so I'm stuck with laptop without photoshop. But that doesn't stop me in making Aki's invitation and other baptismal stuff...and so my journey with Microsoft power point begins...

CUPCAKE TOPPER

Baby themed stuff are just the right touch for the event, so I decided to make baby carriage cupcake topper. Using paper board and tooth pick I came up with this...

Finally, I'm done!

MY FIRST ATTEMPT OF PACIFIER BALLOONS

I've been wanting to make a pacifier balloon ever since I saw one on the web. I think it's a perfect decoration for your baby's Christening or Baptism. You can use this as your table centerpiece, in exchange for those typical balloon bouquet.

Check out my first ever made balloon pacifier:

Sorry for the color combination, I just used the spare balloons from the previous party in making this sculpture.

The handle is a little bit slanted... again I apologize for that. I think I need a little more practice in making this sculpture. Maybe next time I will put here my on site photos, since I'm preparing this for the upcoming baptismal of my sister in law's baby. I'm planning to use helium for the balloon, and will use curling ribbon or perhaps tule for the string. I think that will look wonderful.

By the way the sizes of the balloons that I used in making this sculpture are:

1 pc Size 12 green balloon

4 pcs Size 5 yellow balloon

1 pc Qualatex 160 orange balloon

Note: You can also use Q260 balloon for your pacifier handle if you think think that the Q160 is a bit narrow for your taste.
