Butterfly Baby Shower Favor

As beautiful as gel candles are, they are not as popular as wax candles.
The main reason is the undeserved bad reputation they earned a couple of years ago from stories of candles exploding. I will devote another blog article on that in case the interest is there to clearly understand the confusion on gel candles.

In the baby showers where the favors are gel candles people are amazed at how beautiful they are and yet they don't see many of them around. Under different lighting the gel candles can take on an appearance of a celestial water paradise. In the sun the appearance turns in an aqua bubbling world of beauty.
When creating the candle favors one can control the amount of bubbles desired by the temperature to which you heat the gel. This baby shower candle was created for a mom-to-be that had a passion for butterflies. Everything at the baby shower was butterfly related and most of the baby gifts all had butterfly theme.

Baby Shower Centerpieces

When it comes to enhancing the decor of a baby shower, there are a few areas that are key to bringing out the spark to the moment. When a person first walks into the room the first things they will notice is the accents placed on the walls or at the tables.

The cake, centerpieces, and extras placed around the room are the key to making the baby shower beautiful.



My pictures in this blog are examples of one of the many cute ideas that could be made. These were created for a baby shower requested from a guest of another.

Notice the creations of the flowers and their stems. They are all made of baby socks. The cover around the base is of a baby blanket and the little extras are all baby related.

A baby shower center piece can be either done for the mom-to-be to take home and use or it can be created for the guest to keep as keep sakes.

Hallow Spirit Candle

As I have mentioned before in previous blogs, the great thing about being creative and making different things is that the possibilities are endless. I have a good friend of mine that had a baby at the same time I did. When I say same time I mean almost literally the same time. We got pregnant with only about 4 days in difference. And our babies were only a day apart when we delivered.

Well for her baby shower she decided she was going to celebrate the arrival of her little girl with decorations of her favorite holiday. And it fit perfectly since the baby was due end of October.

Below is the picture of the favors given away at her baby shower.


My little girl Calista decided to help pose as Vana White for these candles :)
Both little girls turned 2 yesterday and today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rhiannon!!!!
