Outside Arrangement for Birthday Party

Before my daughter's birthday party, I already had the wall bucket with the "grass" (it's actually plastic-and admittedly a little out of control!) hung by my front door. I simply made a few things to embellish it to welcome our guests to the party...
The first was a letter "M" that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I painted it with polka dots and later came back & added glitter around the polka dots...because, like I always say, everything's better with glitter!

Before glitter:

After glitter:


Then, I tied a bow & hot glued it onto this little premade wooden owl from HobLob. I painted a kabob stick (found in my kitchen drawer!) and glued it to the back of the owl to make a pick.


I added ribbon to the "M" to hang it...

...and made a big bow out of deco mesh. I think it added a nice touch to the entryway.
