DIY Sprinkle Treat Toppers | Jacqui @ Drink The Day

DIY· Guest Bloggers

9 Jun

Let’s just make this simple.

Today’s guest blogger is so stinking ADORABLE. Like, I’m positive we would be real-life friends.

Get your craft on with Jacqui, and don’t forget to check out her corner of the inter webs – Drink the Day!

Jacqui

Hi everyone! I’m Jacqui and I blog over at Drink the Day. I’m newly 27, living right outside Philadelphia and working in digital advertising until I become awesome enough to blog “full time.” 😉 I started blogging because writing is in my blood. I was originally a journalism major and used to hand out homemade newspapers to my neighborhood – now I’m content with sporadically posting about my life, travel adventures, crafting mishaps & cocktail recipes and hoping someone finds my life as amusing as I do! Thanks for having me Samantha, and congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!

Today I’m sharing one of the cutest and easiest (I promise) DIY projects I’ve ever created – Sprinkle Treat Toppers! Grab your trusty glue gun and play along – These babies are the perfect accessory to make any day feel like a holiday, and any holiday just a little bit more festive.

You’ll need:
Glue gun & hot glue
Parchment paper
Toothpicks
Sprinkles!

While your glue gun is heating up, lay out your parchment paper and decide on your shape. Draw it out in pencil first if you’ve got a shaky hand – no shame. Trace the shape (I chose a star and a heart) onto the paper and lay the toothpick on top.

Re-trace or fill in the shape again with another layer of hot glue, then immediately cover with sprinkles of your choice. I went with red and blue for my absolute FAVORITE holiday – 4th of July! Let the shape dry completely, carefully trim any excess glue (if you’re kinda messy like me) and flip over to repeat on the other side.

I told you this was easy! The best part? They last – You can re-use the same treat topper for a week straight of pancake breakfasts if you feel like impressing your toddler 5 days in a row. Not to mention, this is such an easy way to add a pinch of decor to your party contribution. People will be like “oh hey Martha Stewart” and you’ll just smile and remember the giant mess of excess sprinkles that temporarily stained the sink blue when you turned the water on. Carry on, DIY queen 😉

Happy Thursday!

We tend to speak to ourselves negatively. But, what can happen when you write nothing but good things to yourself?

I challenge you to do the same. Link in bio. 🤍

I'm looking for others who feel like me. People who may have lost a piece of themselves, but are (or want to be) on a journey to re-design their lives. Let's have a book club, or dinner party, or even start an empowerment group for 30-somethings who forgot their favorite color.

Let's help each other grow. 🌿

I never knew I could be this person. I’m not super athletic. I have never dieted or counted calories. I never considered myself or my health. I always have watched other women make big physical changes in their lives, but I have never felt like I was capable to do the same.

If you’re reading this, and feel the same way I used to, trust me. 

You can. 💜

Call it cliche, but I have a word to live by this year. If I'm being honest, it actually means a lot to me. I even have some semblance of "resolutions," which are really just mantras I plan to manifest into reality... and so far I think it's working.

What's your word for 2021? What are your goals, mantras, or resolutions for this year? Let me know in the comments. 🌸 Link in bio.

R: 01/08/2021, or today. 

My husband took that first photo. He was being nice, and trying to celebrate my birthday. I never told him I hated it. I looked heavy, because I was. My skin was terrible - red, broken out, etc. I was anxious, and stressed (ha! The days before 2020!), and it very obviously showed.

Today I’m in the best shape since high school, which blows my mind. I am actively working every day on my skincare, my mental health, and my reactions. Do I mess up? All the time. This week even, I made major mistakes that affect more than just myself. It’s a constant work, but it’s worth doing. 

I see growth. I see a woman who is starting to feel uncomfortable, and that’s a good thing. Whatever goals you have, or path you’re attempting to journey this year, keep going. Don’t let setbacks end your fight. You can do this. 💪🏻

(Also, both daughters saw me make this image this morning. Both thought I was pregnant in the photo on the left. I definitely was not.😳)
