...Frugal Eagle Scout Decorations...

...Scout...being Scout...wanted to keep things really really simple for his Eagle Scout reception...

...he originally asked for red/white/blue cupcakes...and bottled water...that was all...(I printed out some little bands that we taped around the water bottles...but apparently neglected to take a photo of that process)...

...so the only thing I really added was a festive bowl of red punch...

...but we still needed some Eagle Scout decorations...frugal ones...of course...because a Scout is Thrifty...
...first...for the cupcakes...I just printed out some Eagle Scout symbols onto cardstock...fairly small...several (about 20) to a sheet...and cut them out...
...and then...just affixed a toothpick to the back with a little snippet of scotch tape...
...60 of those...
...then...using the same principle...on a larger scale...
...I taped a skewer to the back of a larger cutout...
...then glued another one onto the back...
...for some tabletop decorations...
...then I just stuck the pointed end of the skewer into a red white and blue balloon weight from the dollar store...
...I made two of those...
...now...for a banner......it's just a red white and blue dollar store banner...I printed some more Eagle Scout symbols...to fit onto the triangles of the banner...
...and just taped those onto the triangles...

...so now the decorations are done...let's go finish some cupcakes...

~Have a lovely day!
