Themed Birthday Party Decors

I love themes, probably for everything. If I could, I'd theme every single day of the week!!!... Okay, my theme mania is not that obnoxious either! :) ... I theme-up events, most of the times & never clothes!

Just that I really love throwing a themed birthday party for my daughter Aanya. Last year (Dec 2012) it was Fairy themed. I lovingly created two Fairy buntings & a Fairy cake topper bunting. Its now listed on my Etsy Shop! (Too bad that her first two birthdays were themeless!!! Can't imagine how I let that happen...But such are the first two years of Mommy-hood!)

This year I created a Cupboard Storyboard for Aanya based on the lovely story of Red Riding Hood. And then I went about creating a bunting as well, on the same story. So I now already have another theme ready. If she wants it this year, well n good. If not, well, I can use it in the coming years! Meanwhile the Red Riding Hood bunting is listed on my Etsy Shop! If you're planning a themed birthday party & it is Red Riding Hood, well, your decor is already sorted! :)

Many more themed birthday buntings in the making. Do let me know if you'd like me to make a bunting as per your theme. And yes, the Cake topper bunting can certainly be added along!

The best thing about my buntings is that they can be fabulously used as Nursery decor or as Kids room decor!

Cupboard Story Board

Okay, it looks more like a fox (orange color) But creativity has its own freedom, isn't it? :)

Looks like an Army of Fairies!

How long before I can cut my cake and have it too????

DIY Creative Crafts - Paper Creations (Part 3)

So did you have fun making those little scrapbook stickers or some wonderful veggies and fruits? Did you create something even more exciting? I would love to hear from you, please share your wonderful creations!

Here's another addition to the amazing list of creations I shared earlier. We (I & my daughter) made a little bunting. I wanted to accentuate a certain place in my room that had her pics and I thought it would be a good idea to include a little bunting with her name. 

1) Take the cardboard box (as I mentioned in earlier posts) and draw the letters you wish to create a bunting with. Carefully cut them and then paint with colors of your choice (watercolors, crayons or acrylic). I used watercolors  as its easy for my daughter to use them.

2) Then use the tiny stickers I mentioned in the IInd part. Attach them to various alphabets. You could use a theme or just create some random cute little stick-ons. 

3) Now take a string and attach those gorgeous letters with some tape on the back. Well, next? You're ready to hang a lovely little alphabet bunting! Try many more fun words like 'Love', 'Girl', 'Boy' etc. 

So this was a lot of fun with some scrap of card paper that would have been thrown away. But with a little creativity, it has turned into so many lovely little creations. Isn't that amazing. And the best thing is, that it can keep your child engrossed for quite sometime!

Drop in your comments, I'd love to know what all you tried! Share the fun :)
