We posted these doilie & heart jars a week ago and wanted to try and recreate them on the 4″ blumeboxes.

While we love the vintage appeal of the mason jar version by crescendoh.com, the blumeboxes offer a pop of color.

Did we mention how easy this was to make? You will need a pack of doilies, felt (red and pink), and string and that is it. The only adhesive needed was to tie down the ends of the string. It was that simple.

How heart-a-licous would a table of  4″ cube blumeboxes in white, pretty n pink, red and passion pink decorated with assorted colored hearts and doilies be for a valentines party?

The inspiration behind this sweet decoration idea came from a cake pop date with my daughter over the weekend.

For those of you unfamiliar with Starbucks new tasty addition, a cake pop is cake on a stick. Believe me, it is much more heavenly in person than words can describe.  And to see the happiness that such a baked good provides my daughter, makes my day!  I planned to take Perrin to Starbucks to dine on one of these “yummy”(as described from my 2 year old) treats, but I came up with this fabulous idea and moved our date to take place at home.

What would happen if rainbow sprinkles met a blumebox?

I took a 4″ white cube blumebox, sprayed one side of the blumebox with spray-on adhesive and rolled it in a pan of rainbow sprinkles. I proceeded to cover the remaining three sides of the blumebox with glue and sprinkles. Next, I filled in any spots that were light or void of sprinkles and then proceeded to give an all over spray of adhesive to keep the sprinkles in place. Insert a styrofoam ball or square piece of floral foam into the blumebox and fill out with cut gerberas so that foam is hidden. And lastly insert the cake pop/s in the foam and you have one super cute and colorful cake pop stand!

Perrin can hardly wait for next weekend!

We removed the cake pop to showcase the fabulous rainbow sprinkled blumebox as a floral centerpiece. Multiply this idea, and create ten of these centerpieces filled with assorted colored gerberas or balloons and line a table for a kids birthday party or baby shower!

Mother’s Day is May 9th and we have just the thing to make Mom smile!

Our My Monet Kids Kit comes with a 4-pack of assorted color crayons to draw on the blumebox, but the paper canvas allows the young artist to add all sorts of decor to it!

What does Mom love more than fresh flowers? Homemade presents from the kids! Combine her two wishes by giving her flowers in a blumebox decorated by her favorite little artist.

My Monet kids kits are six inch blumeboxes without the usual aqueous varnish. They come with a box of crayons, but that is just the beginning of the ways they can be decorated! Here, our friend Stella, age 8, used glitter, fingerpaints, and gold and silver markers to express her love for Mom. Stickers, ribbons, and other fun arts and crafts materials could provide hours of artistic fun for the kids – on rainy days, in the classroom, or for a special Mother’s Day gift.
