Store and Blog are back up and running!

Whimsical Paper Garland

Sorry for the long hiatus friends!  The past few months have been CRAZY busy.  hoop~da~loop exploded in sales, which was awesome and overwhelming at the same time.  I think us etsy sellers know how that goes sometimes :)  Andrew and I also moved to Nashville woohoo!  And are very glad to be back amongst our families and closest friends.  Bailey is also very glad that our new space includes stairs.  She loves running up and down them to get in a bit of exercise.  Posts here will probably still be on the lighter side, but I hope to post here and there with some DIYs, inspiration, and updates on the shop.  So check out what I've got going on for the spring... some new shapes!

Mini Pinata DIY!

You may know I'm a sucker for little mini treasures and for parties.  Well if you put the two together, you get some awesome Mini Pinatas and this DIY on how to make them over on Oh Happy Day!  They are so adorable and she gives great step by step instructions.  Plus, you can take this idea and make about a billion different shapes, letters, numbers... the possibilities are endless.

Woodland Weddings

Woodland styled weddings are really popular right now and good thing- they are super dreamy and fun.  Can't you just see a tent with twinkling lights out in a field by some woods?  I could!  Luckily, if you are a fall or winter bride, I have some great wedding favor tags in my shop that are woodland themed and a matching paper garland that would look so cute on a buffet table, cake table, head table, hanging from the tent, laying on a table... ok you get the picture.  Endless possibilities.  But they are so cute and I'll offer you a discounted price if you order a lot.... Just sayin :) See the tags here and the garland here.

Color Inspiration: Neons

I keep seeing lots of neon colors popping up in clothes, parties, and weddings!  Coincidentally, my multicolor garlands with neon colors are my best selling non-custom item and my favorite item to make.  The colors are so entrancing!

Would you have a neon wedding?  What about a neon party?  I think it will be my next party theme!

Sneak Peak!

I wanted to let you guys in on a new design I will be debuting in the shop this week.  It's more of a bunting than just a paper garland and for some reason, I like these even more than my other designs for decorating nurseries and kids rooms.  What's great about them?  They're double sided so they can hang in the middle of rooms, tents, etc and they're reusable!  Imagine creating a tent like shape over a bed where it comes down to the four corners.  So cute and fairytale like!  Plus, I can make custom lengths!  Use it for a party, then hang it in your daughter's room to add some whimsical fun.  Keep checking the shop for new papers and designs throughout the week.  I think you'll be pleased :)

Paper Party

My paper garlands are great for decorating any room or party! This week I will be adding lots of new color schemes.  Do do you have any suggestions?

Peace Crane Line at hoop~da~loop

Origami Peace Crane Cupcake Toppers and Wedding Favors.  Great for weddings!  

When I was a rising senior in high school, I spent about 2 months living in Japan, studying their culture.  It was unreal amazing.  Their culture of peace is inspiring and convicting and was the inspiration behind a blossoming line of party and wedding decor (also looks great in the house) in hoop~da~loop.  Whether  you choose to use them as cupcake toppers, party/wedding favors, or hang them from the ceiling to watch them sway back and forth, I hope the sense of and commitment to peace that I found in Japan finds you and your guests.
