In the mix of creativity uncontrollably spilling out of my head I stumbled across this colorful heel. And then it hit me in the face like a pie to a clown. My two, always adorable yet mischievous, stepchildren are turning 3 and 6 this year and what better way to celebrate than with a carnival themed birthday party.
Step right up, Step right up, because Carnie is my name and Ball Toss is the game. First of all I would like to thank the inventor of Mod Podge for this one. This diy project was simple and requires only 3 items (Mod Podge, a can and paper) and 3 steps.
Step 1: Choose your can. I opted for a beverage can because I think they have more balance for the type of project I did, but you can also use a canned food can. Plus if you are using a specific image or pattern it will come out smoother with a canned food can than a beverage can.
Step 2: Choose your image. I used newspaper for mine specifically the comics since they have such vibrant colors and stickers for the names but you can use pretty much anything including fabric just remember to think outside of the box.
Step 3: Mod Podge your hearts away. First I applied Mod Podge directly to the can then applied my image and finished it off with a coat of Mod Podge Gloss. Here are the ending results, however, be sure to click the image to enlarge and get a full view.

So the alphabet must come to a hault, tear I know, but I have get my act together because the carnival is coming to town. I roughly have two months to plan the Greatest Show on Earth featuring the death defying act of a double birthday. And with all great acts the audience needs to be notified of the event so invitations were first on my list. Although I have to admit I put the invites on the backburner for the time being because who doesn't like to start their day off with some good ole fashioned fun.

My <insert title here> thought they came out awesome and doesn't want to use them for the game, but rather save them. My answer was hunny I paid nothing for them so let the kids have fun and throw their hearts out after all it is a carnival of fun and love.
