Birthday Party Decor and Scrapbook - All in One!

Project Type: Birthday Party Decoration and Scrapbook

Time.  Time is precious and I try to maximize my time the best way I possibly can.  This project is a perfect way to maximize time.

For the twins 1st birthday I put up pictures around the room of the twins growing up month by month.  Everyone seemed to enjoy looking back and remembering how they grew up so much in their first year of life.  Not only was it great for the party, it was great for a scrapbook!

 

Below are a few of the pages I hung on the wall for the party.

I purposely put the pictures on scrapbook paper so that I could later put them in a scrapbook.  You can be as creative or as simplistic as you would like.  I am planning on continuing this for a couple years so that we can continue to enjoy the fun party decor and I can keep up with my scrapbook!!

Birthday Party Decor - Very Hungry Caterpillar

Project Type: Birthday Party Decoration

For this simple birthday party decoration I used balloons, tape, construction paper and scissors.  I cut out the different shapes I need from the construction paper and taped them onto the balloons.  I used tape to stick the balloons to the wall.

All the children at the party loved our "Very Hungry Caterpillar"!

The twins 2nd birthday is coming up soon.  I'm already trying to think of ideas...let me know if you have any you would like to share!!

Happy Birthday Banner

Project Type: Birthday Party Decoration

The theme for the twins first birthday was "Very Hungry Caterpillar".   I wanted to make a special birthday banner that went along with our theme.  With this design you will be able to adjust it to work with any theme or color scheme for the party.

First I gathered together my materials: ribbon, scissors, card stock paper, compass, glue stick, whole puncher and printer paper.  I found the font and graphic (in this case the caterpillar)  I liked and printed them off using our printer then cut each out into a circle.  I created a flower design using a little bit of my geometry skills left over from high school and a compass.  I traced the flower pattern onto different colors of card stock paper and cut them out.  I used a glue stick to paste the letters and graphic onto the flower cut outs and punched two whole on opposite sides.  Then, I cut out small pieces of ribbon and used them to tie the letters together.

All in all this project took a little bit of time, but I think it turned out great for Bro-Bro and Ya-Ya's party!
