Cinderella Bridal Shower: How-to Crafts and Decor

I wanted to do another post about the Cinderella Bridal Shower I threw a few months back. I wanted to give some directions for some of the some of the fun things I made. The original post is here: http://berriesofwisdom.blogspot.com/2015/03/cinderella-bridal-shower.html

 

First thing, is these adorable little mice! They were easy and fun! And delicious!

 

 HERSHEY KISS MICE:

Hershey Kisses

Googly Eyes

Pink Paper

Hot Glue

Pink Marker (I used a highlighter)

 

Cut the pink paper into ears. Mine were long, with one rounded end (kind like a half oval). I hot-glued 2 Kisses together with the ears in between them, round end sticking out. Then hot-glue the googly eyes and color the Hershey Kiss tag pink, for the tail. I also cut off the tag near the nose too.

 

I also put the extra Kisses I had in little blue organza bags from the Dollar Store, along with some cut-outs form princess scrapbook paper I had. These made adorable party favors to take home with the little chocolate mice.

 

 

      

 And the mice were a cute addition in the cheese too!

I bought these 'glass' slippers off the Internet. Some website, they were about $10 for 24 slippers. And then after the party, my kids kept a couple and I used a few for a mini-golf course that I made for a wedding (that's a whole 'nother post...), and then I sold the remaining 'glass' slippers on a Facebook Yard Sale site for $10. I filled them with gold, white, and blue Sixlets.

 

 

These paper fan clocks were really fun and easy too. I have them set at midnight, for when Cinderella has to get home form the ball.

 First, make paper fans. You can easily make these fans for all sorts of décor for any kind of party. They can be made big or small, hanging down or taped to a wall. Even small and on a stick.

 1. Accordion fold the paper long way.

 2. After folding, fold it in half and secure the 2 sides that are touching together. Staple, hot-glue, tape. I just recently discovered hot-glue (I know, crazy!) and it is the fastest for this. Then the stapler.

 

3. Do this with 4 pieces of paper. Then attach them together like the below formation.

4. Cut out a circle of paper in a different color and hot-glue to the center of the circle. Do this for any decorative fan, it makes it look better and neater. Then for this particular project I cut out arrow/hands and pointed them to midnight!

 

And these gold and silver tooth picks were fun and cute for the meat and cheese tray! I got them off Amazon for about $4 and I have used them for many others parties since.

 

I made these adorable 'pumpkins' with clementines and celery!

And the main dish were these delicious Mini Ham Cup Omelets

Mini Ham Cup Omelets

 

I have made these a few times lately for Bridal Showers and brunches with friends and they are always super popular and very cute too!

 

 HAM CUP OMELETS

 

Ingredients (Makes 12):

 

Pam Olive (or vegetable) Oil Spray

12 Ham Slices

Diced Green Peppers & Onions, sautéed in butter

8-10 Eggs

Splash of Milk

Salt and Pepper

Picante Sauce (or Chunky Salsa)

Cheddar Cheese

Green Onions Diced

Standard Muffin Tin

 

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Spray muffin tin

Place ham slice in each muffin tin

Sprinkle a bit of pepper and onion mix in each ham cup

Beat eggs, milk, and salt & pepper in bowl together (like you would for scrambled eggs)

Pour egg mix into each cups

Put a dollop of Picante Sauce in each cup (this is what actually gives these flavor, they are a little bland without the Picante. Salsa and hot sauce work well too)

Top with Cheddar cheese and green onions

Bake 25-35 minutes, until eggs are cooked through

Let cool a bit before removing to a platter or plate

 

The above recipe is the best, easiest, and most poplar version I make of these. But I do make some other versions too.

 

HAM CUP OMELETS 2 (Caprese Ham Cup Omelets)

 

Ingredients (Makes 12):

 

Pam Olive (or vegetable) Oil Spray

12 Ham Slices

Diced Spinach Leaves

8-10 Eggs

Splash of Milk

Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper

Diced Bacon

Diced Tomato

Mozzarella Cheese

Fresh Basil, chopped

Standard Muffin Tin

 

 

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Spray muffin tin

Place ham slice in each muffin tin

Sprinkle a bit spinach in each ham cup

Beat eggs, milk, and seasonings in bowl together (like you would for scrambled eggs)

Pour egg mix into each cups

Sprinkle Bacon and Tomato in egg mix

Top with Mozzarella Cheese

Top with Basil

Bake 25-35 minutes, until eggs are cooked through

Let cool a bit before removing to a platter or plate

 

There also reaches a point in my omelet ham cup prep where I just start to throw everything in the cups. Bacon, peppers & onions, Picante sauce, cheddar and mozzarella.... Just throw it all in there. It turns out good, especially with the Picante or salsa in there. I have also made some without the ham slice liner for vegetarians. These are also gluten-free (just check the individual ingredients you use.)

 

 

They were the main protein dish at these bridal shower.

(They are on the round platter, more on the platter with the grapes, and more cooling back on the stovetop.)
