DIY Birthday Party Ideas

12/14/2010

I’m trying to plan a handmade party for Lily who is turning eight tomorrow! Here are some ideas and links I’ve found for party planning. I wish I could actually do all these projects for her party but I doubt I have time. Why do I always leave everything to the last minute? I have compiled a list of some great tutorials from fellow bloggers below.
Handmade Party Favor Ideas:
Rosette Headband for little girls from sewhipmama
headband from foofanagle

Belt for boy guests made from a ruler from The Mother Huddle

Party decor: Friendly forest theme

paper flowers and party hat tutorial from the city cradle

CUPCAKE IDEAS:
Maybe I’ll try these although I have to say I’m probably the worst baker in the family. I should post a pic of the lopsided Barbie cake with wierd smushes all over it that were supposed to be scallops I made for Lilys’ fifth birthday. That would be one to post on CraftFail. Perhaps our son can make them..
Here are some Decorating instructions for the woodland cupcakes below.
