Now this I loved , this  funky candle holder I got from Goodwill, and a metal candelabra style candle holder that fit into the ceramic candle holder.  I bought a pair  of the metal candelabra  ones at a yard sale. I put these together to make it  -- Mad Hatter perfect, so I just added flowers.

Mad Hatter Tea Party , "2015 " DIY and Collectables - Photo's

These are items that I collected or DIY made.  For My Mad Hatter Tea Party. It took 2 months to prepare for this. It was a great undertaking by myself for the most part. But worth every minute.  This is the first of several blogs i did to show The results. The Bottle is one I saved back, and hand painted some flowers on.

This White Queen I found at Goodwill along with the other chess pieces. It must of been a patio chess set. they were  hand made possible too. They are made of ceramic.

These chess pieces I repainted a bit to match my theme.

Lewis Carroll, I found this tiny frame at a yard sale, I printed his photo off the internet.

The Red Queen also had some paint and the quote card I printed out as well along with many others for my table

This pretty paper flower and card I made. The cards can be printed of the computer I just searched for images I likes that fit my theme.

This is my rabbit hole. On the wooded trail there were lots of trees so we took branches formed a circle shape between two  trees along the path so you had to walk through to continue the journey. I marked it with print outs as well the entire trail is marked with cards before this rabbit hole. After you walk threw its all flowers fantasy flowers I made.

This is the arrow that points you threw the rabbit hole

This set  a bit past he entrance of the rabbit hole after you went through it marked a comer of to he trail.  I made both items here. The little door was a piece of wood I had already. I added a drawer pull I found at a shop. The potion bottle I had I just decorated it. The Quote card I  I used quote from the book.

This is the first direction when you enter the path at the very beginning of this adventure. Total trail length !/4 mile of wooded trail.   I printed this off the internet too.

A lovely hand made paper flower, I used buttons for the centers on all of them  

Here is a tube full of my flowers I think I made close to 200

Lots of beautiful paper flowers

I really loved these they came out spectacular. You can find DIY instructions on the internet , Pinterest, or even by print out kits on Esty, I got one.

Mad Hatter Tea Party 2015 DIY

I July 2015 I had a Mad Hatter tea party. Or my idea of one any way. I invited my girl friend.    I set it up about 1/4th of a mile down in the woods in a spot I hand picked. for 2 months I made paper flowers download tempelets for place cards and  a trail makers for the woods. i searched my storage for unique pretty's and Alice in wonderland themed items. My husband used logs for the table legs and a sheet of ply board for the top. Now  that was heavy to pack. I painted ceramic chess pieces and searched for tea pots. I had the antique chairs I framed a small picture of Lewis Carroll as well so he could join us.
