There are hundreds of  inexpensive DIY party decorations that can make your party magical.  We have picked our top 5 DIY birthday party decorations for girls.

1)       Tissue Paper Flowers

This is our absolute favourite party decoration.  You can make them big or small, in any colour, and there are so many different variations to choose from.   See our last blog post to see how to make these stunning decorations or check out this easy tutorial from http://www.twotwentyone.net/2014/04/how-to-make-tissue-paper-pom-poms/ 

Pink gold white tissue paper garland2) Tissue paper garland (hgtv.com).
  2)       Tissue Paper Garland

We love making these in matching colours to the tissue paper flowers.  These can be made in tissue paper or sparkly paper.  The perfect complement to beading birthday parties, we have seen them in every shade of blue for spa, under the sea or little mermaid parties, or we have seen them in sparkly pinks and golds for princess parties.  Here is a detailed  tutorial http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/entertaining/make-your-own-tissue-paper-tassel-garland.

3)      Upside Down Balloons

Instead of filling up balloons with helium, use blown up balloons and hang them from the ceiling upside down.   This way you do not have to pay for helium but it gives you the same effect.  It gives you the same floating effect as balloons filled with helium without the additional price.  Check out some beautiful samples here http://www.ca.momtastic.com/life/168718-an-upside-down-take-on-a-classic-party-decoration/

  4)       Confetti  Filled Balloons

This is a simple update on decorating with balloons.  Fill clear balloons with confetti before blowing them up.  If you are not using helium, hang them from the ceiling (see party decor tip above).  For an simple tutorial check out http://www.babble.com/home/25-clever-ideas-for-diy-party-decor/.

Picture5) No sew tutu skirt (catch my party).
5)      No Sew Tutu Table Skirt

This no sew tutu skirt may take a little bit more work, but after the party, your daughter can keep it in her bedroom and it will dress up the whole room.  We think this would be perfect for a spa party (in blue and silver), a princess or fairy party (in purple, pink or gold) and a ballet party (in pink).  For a detailed tutorial check out http://catchmyparty.com/blog/no-sew-tulle-table-skirt-diy-tutorial.

We hope you enjoy these tutorials as much as we did!

how to make a tissue paper flower for birthday parties beading budsInstructions at www.ruffledblog.com.
After our last post, we had many requests asking how to make your own DIY tissue paper flowers/pompoms.  

We did some research, and here are the instructions to making the perfect tissue paper flowers/pompoms. 

For a quick video showing how to make these beautiful and whimsical decorations, click here.

Instructions:

Step 1:  Take about 20 sheets of tissue paper and fold into an accordion.  At this point you trim both ends, depending how you cut, the tissue paper flower/pompom will have a different shape. 

Step 2:  Take a twist tie and tie in the center of the fan.  If you are hanging the finished product from the ceiling, at this point, add the string to the twist tie now.

Step 3:  Pull up each sheet one at a time towards the center, do 10 sheets to each side to make it into a round ball shape, or do all 2o sheets in one direction if you would prefer to have one side flat (this is better if you are hanging the finished product on the wall).

Step 4: Enjoy your beautiful decorations!

There is something so magical about warm summer days and nights.  Every summer we have many requests from moms asking if they can do a Beading Buds birthday party outside and we always say absolutely and then give them some advice on making their outdoor jewelry making even more magical.

One of the benefits of having an outdoor party is that you can use the beauty of nature as part of your party decor.  Hang tissue paper flowers, lanterns and balloons from trees.  Use outdoor plants to add ambiance.   Lay out blankets on the ground so the children have an area to work at.  Preferably lay out the blankets under trees so the children have some shade, if they do not have shade, you can rent a large tent which will provide shade and add to the party decor.

An outdoor party is the perfect opportunity for  facepainting.  Set up a facepainting station in the corner and you can paint the children's faces one at a time as they are making their beaded project.  You can also set up a candy kabob making station.  This is a fun party activity that goes well with the theme of beading, and can be an additional loot bag.

The best type of food to serve at these parties is summer bbq food, pink lemonade and cupcakes .

Here are some photos from an outdoor Beading Buds birthday party that we recently did.  This mother combined her two daughter's birthday parties in one.  Half of the girls aged 5,6, and 7 made necklaces, the other half, aged 9, 10 and 11 made memory wire bracelets.  It was a fun and crafty way to spend a beautiful summer afternoon.

Party guests at an American Girl Birthday party can bead necklaces as a party activity and the loot bag.American Girl Birthday party guests make necklaces as party activity and loot bag.
We have done many American Girl Beading Birthday Parties in the past, and beading really is the perfect complement to an American Girl Birthday Party.  Check out our American Girl Party Package.

At many of our parties, the girls make matching necklaces for themselves and their dolls with a special heart or snowflake charm. 

Here are some tips and tricks to help make your American Girl Beading Birthday Party extra special.

American Girl birthday party centerpiece. American Girl birthday party centerpiece.
Party Decor:  There are two great options for the party decor.  Option one is to make everything pink.  Option 2 is to go with the American girl colours, red and white and the star shape.  Stack American Girl doll boxes as a centerpiece, put up red and white tissue paper flowers.  Hang red and white stars, cut out star shapes and hang them on the walls.  Make your own American Girl photo booth, click here for some more party decor ideas.  

Party Food:  Cut sandwiches and fruit into star shapes and serve mini hamburgers and mini hotdogs, red punch and red velvet cupcakes.  A fun idea is to have a dessert table with all red candy such as licorice  and gumballs, red candy apples, marshmallows, star shaped cookies and and desserts on it.

Birthday Cake:  Most birthday cakes are red with white stars on them, check out our pinterest page here for some ideas.

Party Activities:  A fun idea is for the girls to make friendship necklaces or bracelets for themselves and then a matching necklace for their doll.  Another idea is for the girls to make their own friendship necklaces, and then for the birthday mom to give each girl a pre-made regular bracelet that they can put on their doll so that the doll have friendship necklaces too.  This can be the party activity and the loot bag.  Click here to see our party packages.

Beading Buds mermaid jewelry making kits are the perfect activity at your mermaid themed party, and they also become the lootbag for all the little mermaids to take home.
A mom recently contacted us asking if we could do an "under the sea mermaid" birthday party for her 6 year old daughter.  We loved the idea and instantly put together a special party package to go with her amazing theme.  When my 4 year old daughter saw the sample we made, she decided that she wanted to do this for her birthday as well.
 
Here are some tips and tricks to have the perfect mermaid party.

Party Decor:

A great colour scheme for a mermaid party is purple and aquamarine.  Decorate all the tables with aquamarine table clothes and add some tissue paper streamers to add some movement.

Hang blue and white tissue paper flowers and balloons from the ceiling.  Make diy lantern jelly fish to help it look truly under the sea.  Click here for instructions. 

Set out bowls of white gumballs to look like pearls or bowls of plastic pearl bead necklaces.  Or make your own diy gumball necklaces.  Click here for instructions.

Cake:
There are so many wonderful choices for this fun theme, but our favourite is making a treasure chest cake full of beautiful jewelry.  You can make cupcakes to set out around the cake, with shells on top.

Activity:
We have created a gorgeous glass pearl mermaid necklace making kit for your little guests to enjoy putting together at the party, this can be the party entertainment and also the loot bag click here for info.

Jewellery Birthday Party Theme Ideas

PictureJewelry Box Cake from http://www.womansday.com.
One of the most important parts of birthday party planning is deciding on the theme of the party, once you have established the theme, you can do so many extra touches to make your party extra special. 

For older girls doing a jewellery making birthday party, we suggest the theme of "jewellery making party".  We suggest that the children paint wooden jewelry boxes and make candy kabobs as a crafty and fun diy lootbag.  We suggest that the mother make a jewelry box birthday cake or cupcakes with real rings or ringpops placed on top as a decoration and include lots of candy jewelry.  For some amazing cake ideas, click here to check out our pinterest page.

For younger children, we love to tie in our jewelry making activities with lots of fun girly themes.  Some popular ideas that we have done jewelry making at in the past are Sophia the first, Fancy Nancy Party, Princess Party, Fancy Tea Party, Mad Hatter Tea Party, Ballerina Party, Mock Slumber Party, Rainbow Party, Candy Party, Breakfast at Tiffany's Party, Fashion Party, Under the Sea Party or Mermaid Party (where the girls make necklaces out of glass pearls and shell click here ), and of course the theme of Beading Party.  These themes are perfect for 5-9 year old girls.  Click here for some fun ideas to help you with a themed birthday party.

We hope you enjoy planning your party!
