Welcome to the World Baby QB

QB’s Aqeeqah ( celebration on a birth of a child in the family)
QB is my fourth grandchild MashaAllah. He was no less special than other three. We themed his celebration Welcome To The World. QB’s father loves maps and globes so we thought it will be good theme for QB and his Baba.Collecting all these maps and globes were bit a challenge but family of crafters and Amazon Prime possibilities are unlimited. Maps on the background are from a fabric store Yes fabric store 😇 we used them as table runners as well. Oh Did I mentioned where did this event took place? The most beloved place
ADAMS
All Dulles Area Muslim Society) in its newly build community center

Beside all the crafts fpr the event. Desert table was the center of attraction to the guests. The main cake was made by QB's Lala thats a QB version of Khala meaning sister of his mom. Beside Lala's skills as an Aerospace engineer she also runs a cake business. To place an order email [email protected] or follow her on Instagram #sweetsujood. Globe cake pops and cookies were made by a friend. Oyester cookies and cupcakes were made by QB's mom another baker of our family. She is always under the baking critique by her siblings but was also the one who gets all the sweet craving requests.

Things you need
Styrofoam balls
Elmers Glue
Small cups
Form brushes
Blue and green tissue papers or streamer paper
( The reason for using the streamer paper was that we already have those at home but they end up a better choice because they were thicker and easy for tiny hands to hold and paste)

Found these world map themed wrapping paper at TJmaxx to make banners. Be creative to make these in different shapes and designs. we also added stick on gold letters from Michael to make it more festive
