The cupcakes sailed to the pirate party. I used some free printables from cottage industrialist. Super adorable if you ask me. She has great printables for pirate parties. I was lucky enough to find some pirate party hats and other decorations at the dollar store, otherwise I would have used more of her free printables.
I used the pirate party for an excuse for trying out some of the crafty techniques that I have been dying to try. For example Freezer Paper Stenciling. Tanner HAD to have a homemade pirate shirt for his party. There are a ton of tutorials out there on how to do this. I used Create Studio's tutorial. I didn't have textile medium so I just used puffy paint and painted it in. I did this a lot in high school when making t-shirts. It didn't work as well as I remember it working but my puffy paints are from high school, so maybe that was the problem. This was a lot of fun and easy to do. Now I want to make some onesies for Claire. This picture was taken months after making the shirt and washing it weekly (since it is one of Tanner's favorite shirts). He did wear it to the party but his jacket covered it the whole time.
