Happy Initiation Day!!

It's finally initiation day and I could not be more excited for my little. She finally gets all of her Big/Little gifts too. The one that will mean the most to her today is the letter box. My mom's big made her one when she went through and then years later when I went through my big made one for me. So now I made one for my little. I just bought a wooden box and then decorated it. Since she won't get initiation letters until today, I filled it with chocolate temporarily.

Big/Little Reveal

Last night was Big/Little Reveal and this semester we did matching pajamas. I went to target and found comfy sleep shirts in blue and my pledge sister Elizabeth and I took them to California T's in Lubbock and got them embroidered for like $10. They turned out so cute and everyone really liked them. I also made matching bows for my little and I. I found premade bows at Hobby Lobby and bought red puffy paint to write our letters on them. Everything was so adorable, especially my new little! Welcome to the family!!

Alpha Chi O'Merica

More letters to enjoy! These are the letters I made for my little. To do the stars on the "A" I put down little star stickers and painted over it in a royal blue. Then I taped of the other two letters and painted red in the blank spaces. The letters were white to begin with so it worked well. Slapped on some ribbon with a bit of hot glue and bam. Alpha Chi O'Merica letters.

Lyres and Letters

It's Lyre Week!! Big/Little Reveal is tomorrow and Friday is Initiation! Instead of giving our littles their baskets tomorrow we're doing it Friday. So to get ready, I'll be posting some of the things I made for the basket until then! (And probably some after because there's quite a few).
Today I'll show you the letters I made for a friend's little. They're chevron and are super cute but took forever to make. We painted the teal color first and then we printed out a chevron pattern from the Internet. After cutting out the stripes am we placed them and taped in between in stripes. Once everything was taped down we painted orange over top of everything.
