The theme of the hop is to create a project that represents things you would bring to a party. Here is my project:

I started with a galvanized bucket I had in my garage. It has chicken wire around it, which I wove ribbon through to decorate it and filled it with shredded paper.

I downloaded the Shindig Handmade Gifts Printable Project from ScrapNfonts. I printed the coaster pages on white cardstock, cut them out and laminated them. then glued them on some coasters I bought at the dollar store.

I printed out the cocktail recipe pages, cut them out, laminated them, hole punched them and put them on a ring which I decorated with some ribbon.

I recycled some empty American Crafts containers I had. I printed the snack strips out, glued them to some strips of patterned paper, attached them to my American Crafts conatiners and filled them up with pretzels, peanuts and pistachios.

Printed and made a tag with my Making memories Tag Maker for the wine bottle opener.

Printed the confetti labels, ran them through my Big Shot with a spellbinders die, and glued them to pattern paper which I had also cut out with spellbinders. Attached them to some confetti I purchased at the dollar store.

I printed out the cocktail napkin strip, attached it to a strip of pattern paper and then encircled a box of cocktail napkins with it.

While I was at the Dollar Store I also picked up some cocktail umbrellas and a couple wine glasses that I thought went perfect in my basket.

For a very small amount of cash I have a fun and festive container of goodies to take to a party!!
