Creatively Cool
Diaper Cake
If you're wanting to be the new mom's favorite gift giver I suggest you give this a shot! What new mom doesn't need diapers?!?
What you'll need:
1 box of diapers size 0-3 months (brand is your preference I use Huggies)
2 Bottles
4 or 5 Onezies various sizes
1 Plush Baby Toy
1 spool of wide ribbon (your color choice)
1 spool of thin ribbon (your color choice)
2 spools of Tule ( 2 or more colors)
1 spool of curling ribbon
1 hot glue gun
Instructions:
Use one bottle as the base for the bottom layer of the cake, unroll the diaper then roll it back up make sure everything is even, take about 4" of curling ribbon and tie it around the diaper to keep it in place, (do the same for the onezies) repeat until there are enough to wrap around the bottle once then take enough curling ribbon to tie the diapers around the bottle repeat with 2 more rings around the bottle, then take your second bottle and repeat the process but only make 2 rings around the bottle then place on top of the bottom layer, for the top layer wrap wrap the diapers around another diaper so its all even, then take your wide ribbon measure it around each layer and cut a piece to fit each layer, repeat with the thinner ribbon, wrap each layer with the matching length of ribbon, take your glue gun and glue the ends of the ribbon together, take the thinner ribbon and repeat, cut pieces of tulle to randomly place between diapers for even more of a color pop, then take plush toy and use it for a cake topper.

Fall Vase
I saw something like this on Pintrest but it was Easter themed so I decided I'd make one for fall!
What you'll need:
1 Large Vase
1 Small Vase
2 Regular sized bags of Candy Corn
1 Bag of Pumpkin shaped candies
Fall Flowers of your choice
Instructions:
Place the smaller vase in the large vase, pour your first layer of Candy Corn, Pour your second layer which would be the Pumpkin candies and continue layering until you've run out of room switching candies with each layer, once done layering arrange your flowers however you'd like and now you have a beautiful piece for fall!
