Marnie from Phoenicianista throws amazing parties. Her attention to detail and creativity blow me away every time. That's why I'm so excited to debut her latest party here on the blog, an under-the-sea Atlantis extravaganza for her daughter. Marnie made gorgeous tissue paper to deck the house. The length of the tissue, the organic look of the torn and crumpled material, the raffia stringing it--all added to a dreamy, wavy, undersea atmosphere.

If you’ve ever had rock candy before, you know that most of the wow factor is in how pretty it looks rather than the flavor. And to be perfectly honest, I think we’re all OK with that. However, I thought it would be cool to make a version of the candy that felt a little…

I have wanted to try making rock candy FOR-EVER. I mean, why wouldn’t you want to make it? I hated science in school, but that’s probably because it didn’t involve candy like this little experiment did. Lucky for me (Us, you!) the resident candy and technicolor QUEEN, Natasha of Violet Tinder, had reached out just …

I'm a big fan of a good pun. If you've been around here for a while, I'm sure you've noticed. Last weekend, we were at a wedding with a candy bar. So of course, while my parents were slowly saying their goodbyes, I went over to check it out. There was rock candy, so I grabbed one for each of us. And, as soon as I grabbed it, a pun popped into my head. So, sorry to my mom and dad, but no rock candy for them. I needed it as a prop for this post. Their loss is your gain. DIY "She Got Her Rock" Rock Candy Favor What You Need: Rock candy Bakers twine Card stock Glue Paper trimmer Free printable (see below) What You'll Do: Using a paper trimmer, cut the free printable into diamonds. They end up being 1-inch squares. Use the paper trimmer again, this time to cut the card stock into diamonds. You'll want them to be 1.5-inch squares so that they can fit nicely behind the printable. Glue the printable onto the colored piece of card stock. Allow it to dry. Cut a piece of bakers twine and glue it to the back of the card stock. If you're unsure about the glue, you could always tape it down. Tie it around the rock candy. That's it. You can display these or put one at each person's seat at a bridal shower or engagement party. They're super cute and tasty too. Now, about that printable: It is formatted to fit an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, so you're able to print this at home. All you need to do is save it to your computer and print it out when you need it. BRIDAL BABBLE: Would you make this rock candy favor for an engagement party or a bridal shower?
