I’m excited to share a fun collaboration with HP! On July 18th, HP will launch an exclusive HP Pavilion 17″ model on HSN’s Today’s Special segment, and I’ll be at HSN’s headquarters in Florida to join the celebration. I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes moments on my social channels, but first—here’s a sneak peek.
The segment will have a birthday theme to celebrate the launch and Windows 10’s birthday, so I created sprinkle-themed printables inspired by the bright, bold colors of the exclusive HP model. If it’s a birthday, you can bet I’ll be involved—this time with sprinkles! Tune in to the segment to see everything we’ve planned, and in the meantime, you can get ready with these sweet party printables.
If a new laptop isn’t in your immediate budget, HSN’s Flex Pay plan is a great option for this exclusive HP Pavilion 17″ model—it’s like layaway but you receive the product immediately. The laptop comes with Windows 10. I photographed my favorite sprinkle combinations and used my new blue HP to edit the images and create three printable designs: party hats, ice cream cone wrappers, and party blowers.

Supplies:
Printables (Download above)
Computer paper or cardstock
Printer
Tape (decorative for party horns, double-stick for hats and wrappers)
Party horns (dollar store works great)
Skinny elastic (for hats)
Pom pom trim and a hot glue gun (optional, for finishing hats)
Assembly instructions:
1. For the party blowers: Print the sprinkle pattern on regular computer paper and cut a 2.5″ x 10″ strip. Fold the strip into thirds so the ends slightly overlap.
2. Secure the fold with a narrow piece of tape.
3. Roll the folded paper tightly and secure it with a small piece of tape or a rubber band. Leave it rolled for as long as possible (up to a day). Meanwhile, remove the cardboard or cardstock tube from a party horn, keeping only the plastic blower.
4. Remove the tape or rubber band, open one end of the rolled paper, slip it over the plastic blower, fold the paper ends in, and secure with decorative tape.
For the party hats: Print the hat template on cardstock. Cut, roll into a cone shape, and secure with double-stick tape. Punch a hole on each side and thread elastic through, tying a knot to fit. Optionally, glue pom pom trim around the base for a finished look.
For the cone wrappers: Print the wrapper template on computer paper. Cut, roll into a cone shape, and secure with double-stick tape. Slip the wrapper over an ice cream cone for an instant festive treat.
