Cute As A Button Baby Shower

I just threw my girlfriend a “Cute As A Button” themed baby shower. I came up with the theme when I saw these adorable cookies. Now remember, I don’t bake, so I didn’t actually make these – it just gave me the idea. I rounded up a bunch of buttons from my personal collection and from friends {free} and grabbed all my scrap fabric {free} from a black and white quilt I had made to make these invitations {how-to here}.

Then I found an adorable button mold via Bake It Pretty and created these little desserts {$4 to make the candy buttons} {how-to here}

I made candy kabobs for the favors using the buttons and scrap fabric {$4 for the skewers and pretzel bags + candy}

More scrap quilt fabric cut with pinking shears for tabletops {free} and a collection of jars for candlelight {I cleaned out my fridge and got 9 jars – embarrassing! The others were from family that I asked to save their jars, and my sister found some very cool ones at a garage sale for cheap}.

Scrap fabric to decorate $1 large water bottles

Hanging hooks on the railing let the guests’ gifts become part of the decorating {$3 for 9 “S” hooks}.

It was a hit!
