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!
