FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 385 AND DIY GRAD GIFT IDEA

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

I published a new post-- DIY GRADUATION GIFT PERSONAL PINATAS

A little something that is easy and fun to make and to gift for the GRADUATE in your life!

Graduation season is upon us and with that comes gift-giving. This year Ali's husband graduated with his Bachelor's in English degree and our two oldest grandsons, Jordan and Avery (only a little over a year apart in age) are graduating from high school. I like to think about what a person might like in terms of gifts but with teenagers, I figure you can't go wrong with cash. Giving cash in a grad card is fine but I wanted to do something a little more festive and fun for the boys.

Larry and I were doing our weekly shopping and while in Walmart, we saw these cute little pinatas in the party aisle. Personal-sized and just right for giving!

What teenage boy doesn't like tacos (okay, there are probably some)? Fortnite--can't go wrong there. Plus, festive and fun (see above)!

I picked up a few bags of individually wrapped candies because no one wants a pinata without candy in it.

Then I added cash in a couple of different denominations.

Next, I placed the candy into the pinata but kept a few mini-Kit Kat bars out to wrap the cash around. I secured the cash to the candy with some graduation stickers. You could also use washi tape or even some curling ribbon.
