Cinco de Mayo Party Box

April 17, 2020~ Cinco de Mayo, Cocktails, DIY and craft projects, gifting

Part 3 of my preparations for a bitchin’ Cinco de Mayo, is what I’m calling my Cinco de Mayo Party Box. Not one to be left behind by a good deal or a hot trend, I decided to give wood crates a chance and see what I could do with them. This isn’t me pushing the creative limits of an object, but it is the perfect example of using something for what it’s intended to, and having it work perfectly.

*Crates & Pallet sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own.  Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

THIS otomi clad piece of wonder is choc full of goodies – basically everything you need to throw a bitchin Cinco de Mayo party. This means it’s exactly what you need if you’re going to visit friends, or just want to get the party started at the office a bit earlier in the afternoon.

Materials for the Cinco de Mayo Party Box

  • Wood Crate  // here // or // here //
  • Otomi Pattern Stencil 
  • Acrylic Paints – I used DecoArt’s Evergreen, Baby Blue, Silver Sage Green, Avocado Dip, True Ochre, Raspberry, Light Orchid, Scarlet.

Step 1: Give your crate a good wipe down, just make sure it’s clean and not covered in glue from a price tag, or dust from the store. I went with the medium sized one so that it would still be easy to carry once it was loaded up with goodies!

Step 2: Make your paint colour selection – I’ve listed mine above. Otomi patterns are bright and colourful, so make sure you pick colours that work for you!

Step 3: Star stenciing! This otomi pattern is big, so I had to tape it on the sides of the crate as I painted away. Like with all stenciling, you’re aiming for a dab instead of a brushstroke, so make sure you’re using the correct brushes to do so.

Step 4: I used different parts of the pattern around the crate. Each side is different, but still vibrant and colourful. It’s perfect!

Step 5: Once the crate is dry, it’s time to stock it full of goodies!

What does into a Cinco de Mayo Party Box

  • DIY Ombre Margarita Classes
  • Miniature Donkey Piñata
  • Miniature Tequila Piñata
  • Papel Picado Straws
  • Cactus Candles
  • Paper Plates + Napkins
  • Tequila
  • Corn Chips + Salsa
  • Margarita Mix
  • You can also add noise makers, a mixtape, a bigger piñata, and anything else you think is appropriate for your party!

As you can see, it’s full of goodies. If you were to pop by my place with a cinco de may party box I would have a hard time saying no! In fact, I’d probably have to send Dan on a corona run.

While you’re at it, grab a crate of your own and see what you can come up with! I’ve got a few more ideas planned, but I’m really happy with how my cinco de mayo party box turned out.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
