Sometimes we tend to forget the oldies but goodies when we're planning our birthday parties for kids. Because we can just run to the local Walmart or Target and get prepackaged everything we forget the fun of making homemade anything!
Here are some fun decoration ideas for your next party...fun to make and fun to see!
1. Paper Chains - Just cut different colored papers into long strips, glue the first strip together to form a ring, then take the next strip, slip it through the ring and glue it into a ring and so on. Use bright colored construction paper and go on forever!!!
2. Crepe streamers - take two fun colors of crepe streamers, tape them together on one end and then twist them into a spiral. Hang immediately to keep it spiral. Love this one!!
3. Balloons - buy them, blow them up and hang them on the birthday child's chair and all over the walls. Even throw them all over the floor!
4. Mobile - Create various shapes from construction paper (or gold and silver cardstock), punch a small hole in one end, string a string through the hole and hang the shapes at various lengths from a wire coat hanger that's been decorated with pipe cleaners, tinsel or crepe paper!
5. Tissue Paper Poms - Use a drinking glass to cut about 8 pieces of colored tissue paper into circles. Stack the circles on each other and then fold in half and then quarters. Sew the point of each corner with a piece of knotted thread and then open out each circle of paper. If you leave some of the thread hanging you can use the thread to hang these in doorways and windows, etc. or use floral wire to make a "pom bouquet".
Bringing back memories? There's nothing like a fun birthday at home to create a lasting memory for years to come! That's why I love my Noah's Ark Workshop business... we bring the party to the home of the birthday child. Home parties are wonderful!
So pull out the construction paper, glue, tape, streamers and more and get to fun and work! Enjoy!
