Pinterest was obviously my #1 go-to site when planning our Gender Reveal Party. I think Pinterest may have somehow been the one to invent these types of parties, afterall. There were definitely some pinspired elements at our party, and I wanted to share those with you!

). It was super simple to make, though one of the fabrics I chose just would not work with the double-sided craft tape I picked up, so I had to scrap that one from the banner. Other than that, easy peasy. I freehanded a "stencil" out of regular paper, and used that to keep the triangles roughly the same size and shape. I used tiny bits of the craft tape to hang the banner in a few places around my parents' home for some cute pink and blue decor!

I absolutely loved the idea of putting together a "Boy or Girl" banner (clearly, I'm into banners at the moment), but wanted something that more went with our theme or bright pink and blues. Using my Silhouette Machine, I was able to cut the little flags, the letters, and punctuation in no time! I used tiny foam craft mounts to secure the letters to the flags for a little dimension, and strung the flags onto twine I had on hang to hang it.
My Pinspiration:
Funny enough, this was probably the most time consuming of the projects I'm sharing with you today! Taking the time to cut and ball the fruit was definitely intensive, but the surprising part was how hard it was to get it looking so Pinterest perfect. The above photos are completely misleading, because you can't really just put the fruits in one variety at a time. You have to layer them, keeping all the "columns" even, or it spills and fill the entire watermelon "bowl". It was a lot of trial and error, but all in all it wasn't that bad! And the result is adorable, if I do say so myself! I definitely plan to present fruit like this in the future!
