Craft #1 - Paper Cake Treat Boxes
This three-tier cake is made from paper. Each tier is made up of eleven individual paper cake slices that are attached to each other. The pieces come apart easily, so when the party is over, each guest gets to take a piece of cake home.
Fill each cake slice with candy or any other special treat. You could even fill each slice with money, which would be a fun and new twist on a money tree. (This would make a great end-of-year teacher gift...each child could make one or two slices and fill each slice with a special thank-you note.)
The cake makes a great centerpiece. You can use an infinite amount of color combinations based on the occasion. Imagine how beautiful the cake would look made out of white paper for a wedding! Make it out of pink or blue for a baby shower. Endless possibilities!
Craft #2 - Romantic Picnic Tote

When you unsnap the top, you can see how nicely organized all of your picnic items are.

This is not just any tote, however. The sides of the tote snap in the back to easily access the items for your picnic.

There are elastic straps to hold your wine glasses (cute plastic ones from Walmart), pockets for your plates and silverware, and a pocket for your picnic blanket.

The picnic blanket has a waterproof bottom, which is easy to clean (a simple modification of the outdoor play mat). It is a great way to enjoy your spouse. And if you really want to keep it cheap, put the kids to bed and have a picnic in the backyard. Just the two of you!
The cute fabric is curtousy of Danielle from Draw String Studio.

That picnic bag is AWESOME, I hope it wins, I would love to see the tutorial!!!
these are both seriously impressive in their own unique ways. i am voting for the picnic bag just because it's reusable and i wouldn't have to watch my hard work be destroyed by the guests!
Wow both crafts are awesome but I am going to have to vote for number 1! I love the paper cake idea and it is absolutely beautiful!
Both ideas are great! I would vote for the picnic bag though as it is something I would use myself and a great change from the big hamper :)
The voting isn't working for me again. Is it just me!?! It says google error
Just keep trying. Sometimes blogger is really lame. I'm in the middle of switching everything to another platform so hopefully things will get better.
Once the voting is finished, do we find out the blog that they are from? I would love to see a tutorial on the Paper Cake Treat Boxes. It would be awesome for at a 1st Birthday party! We'll have one of those next year and these would be great lolly bags!
You bet Cathy! I'll let you know who's is who's
Not to be mean...but really, ANOTHER TOTE!?
I love the idea of this blog sharing so many DIFFERENT craft ideas here. AND while this tote looks VERY WELL made & is very lovely, I just felt like that is all we had to choose from with this last challange, was a LOT of tote crafts. SORRY, I hope I did not offend anyone. It was just meant to help future crafter's to get a honest opinion. I will keep my opinions to myself & let my VOTE do my talking.
Can't wait! I'm new to visiting your site so I wasn't quite sure what the go was! Thanks for such a prompt response!
I think they are both awesome!! I would love to see the tute for both of them, but I think the cake is just so different and unique, that has got my vote.

i think the paper cake is awesome! i'd love to bring something like this home as a souvenir after a party.
It's sewing vs. papercrafting! They are both so cute. This contest gets harder and harder every cycle!
The paper cake is so amazing. Wow! I would love to have one of those at my party. It would definitely be a hit.
