Unicorn party decor from karaspartyideas.com.

Unicorn horns from karaspartyideas.com.

One of our favourite party themes ever is a unicorn party theme. We adore all the beautiful magical colours and how much fun you can have with this magical theme.

A mom booking a beading party was doing a unicorn theme and asked us if we could design a custom beading project for her party, of course we said yes, and we were thrilled with how it turned out and wanted to share this awesome party theme with you!

Party Invitations:
This is such an easy theme to choose invites for because there are so many beautiful unicorn invitations to choose from. You can also download a printable invitation online such as this one.

Party Decor:
We adore the colour scheme that you would use for this party. All pastel colours, such as pastel blue, pastel pink, pastel purple, pastel pink, pastel green and pastel yellow. You would also use gold and gold glitter.

Blow up balloons in pastal colours and blow up clear balloons and fill them with glitter see here for instructions.

Hang up dreamcatchers in pastel colours, you can make these yourself, like this beautiful one from Kara's party ideas.

You can also make your own garland like this one in pastel colours to match your theme.

Party Food:
For a unicorn party you want the food to look as beautiful as possible and in pastel colours, such as marshmallows, chocolate covered pretzels, and unicorn bark (click here for recipe).

When making your cake or cupcake, make the inside of the cake rainbow, this is such a fun surprise for the guests. When making the cake or cupcakes, use pastel colours and lots of gold glitter.

Party Activities:
This party is all about magical fun. Hand out unicorn horns to all of the guests to wear during the party. Have them decorate ice cream cones with icing and sprinkles to make their own unicorn themed treat. You can also play pin the horn on the unicorn and have a unicorn pinata. Another fun idea is to have the girls make jewelry with a unicorn charm. For more information about our fancy bracelet birthday party packages.

We hope that you have as much fun planning your unicorn themed birthday party as we had doing this post.

How to Make a Jewelry Box Birthday Cake

8/25/2016

0 Comments

When we book our birthday parties, moms often ask us for tips for planning their jewelry making birthday party. One of our favourite suggestions is for the mom to make a jewelry box birthday cake. Here is the perfect jewelry box cake recipe.

Ingredients

Lid:

8 whole graham crackers (2 squares each)
10 oz. white baking chocolate

Jewelry Box Cake:

2 box poundcake mix (preferably Betty Crocker)
2 can strawberry frosting
1 can Vanilla Frosting

Compartments & Drawer:

4 whole graham crackers
9 creme-filled sugar wafer cookies
1 white gumball

Jewelry:

Assorted edible jewelry such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, and gumballs
You also need: 1 icing bag with a small star tip and a writing tip

Make Lid: On a large foil-lined baking sheet arrange 4 whole graham crackers, flat sides down and long sides touching. Next to them, add 1 more row, narrow ends touching, to make a rectangle about 10 x 8 3⁄4 in. Melt white chocolate as package directs. Evenly spread over crackers to cover. (If some seeps between crackers, that's OK.) Let chocolate dry overnight.
Make Jewelry Box Cake: Heat oven to 325ºF. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-in. baking pan with nonstick spray. Line bottom with wax paper; spray paper. Prepare 1 box cake mix as package directs. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes before inverting on rack to cool completely. Repeat with other box of cake mix. Wrap and refrigerate.
To assemble: Carefully invert Lid so chocolate is underneath. Spread top with 2⁄3 cup strawberry frosting.
Cut a 2-in. strip from one short end of each cake. Cut a 1-in. piece crosswise off 1 strip. Set aside uncut strip and 1-in. piece for drawer (you won't need rest of cut strip).
Put 1 cake layer, right side up, on a flat 14 x 12-in. or larger serving surface, leaving at least 2 1⁄2 in. from front edge of serving surface for the drawer. Spread top of cake with 2⁄3 cup strawberry frosting; top with other cake, right side up. Frost top with 2⁄3 cup vanilla frosting.
Make Compartments: Using a sawing motion with a serrated knife, carefully cut remaining 4 crackers in half lengthwise. Frost 1 side using 2 Tbsp vanilla frosting. Put frosted sides, facing in, into frosting around top edge of cake. Set wafer cookies, long edge down, into frosting to make compartments.
Reserve 1⁄4 cup vanilla frosting. Place remaining vanilla frosting in pastry bag fitted with writing tip. With shorter edge of frosted lid facing you, pipe name and butterflies on top 3⁄4 of lid (when attached to box, bottom of lid won't be seen).
Frost sides of cake with 1 1⁄3 cup strawberry frosting. Carefully lift lid and attach to back of cake, gently pressing to adhere to frosting on cake. Stack filled food cans against back of lid to hold it in place until frosting sets.
Make Drawer: Press reserved cake strip A (click here for diagram ) and 1-in. piece B onto front of cake. Frost top and sides with reserved 1⁄4 cup vanilla frosting. Place remaining halved crackers, frosted sides in, around drawer. Coat with strawberry frosting. Press gumball knob in center.
Pipe butterflies on sides of cake. Change piping tip to star tip. Pipe stars around lid, top of box and drawer. Let set at least 4 to 6 hours. Remove cans.
Fill with edible jewelry.
To make rings & earrings: Use frosting to glue assorted rock candy or gumballs to gummy or regular Lifesavers candies.

Cream and Gold Baby Shower Beading Party

11/9/2015

0 Comments

We've noticed an increasing trend in parents waiting until they give birth to find out the gender of their baby. This can make baby shower planning more difficult because you cannot use the traditional shower decorating themes of pink and blue.

Nancy, from Just the Facts Baby, suggests that a glamorous, glitzy and fun alternative gender neutral shower decor theme is gold and cream. She has compiled five photos of gold and cream parties that we think are the perfect inspiration when planning a gender neutral shower.

With such a fabulous theme, we suggest that a fun baby shower activity where guests can make their own party favour is to have a jewelry making station. We can customize their jewelry making kits to go with each shower theme, for a cream and gold themed party, guests can make beautiful cream and gold jewelry. To order a jewelry making party kit, click here.

Have any other suggestions for a gold and cream themed baby shower? Please let us know in the comments below. Happy shower planning!

Bollywood Themed Tikka Beading Party

We recently did a bollywood themed beading birthday party where the girls made tikka headpieces. It was such a fun party and it really goes perfectly with the theme of beading. The party was such a hit, that we are adding this theme to our beading party packages.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you throw your own amazing bollywood beading birthday party.

A cake for a bollywood birthday party should be very colourful with lots of bold colours.

If possible use edible beads. The goes well with the theme of beading and the theme of bollywood. Use lots of gold and silver to make the cake look magical.

Every party needs a few themed crafts to keep the guests busy. A simple and fun idea with big impact is to use sticker gem beads to decorate around the girls eyes. Purchase some henna tattoos and have the girls apply the tattoos to each other while you are doing the face stickers. Finally, another fun use of stickers gems is to buy flip flops for each guest and have them decorate them with the sticker gems. This also becomes a fun take home loot bag.

Another craft that we love is to have the girls create a Tikka. We will soon be offering kits and packages on making your own Tikka, but in the meantime, check out this link for making a diy tikka headpiece click here.

Now that the girls are all blinged out with their eye jewels, henna tattoos, new slippers and tikka headpieces, it is time for the girls to do something active.

Purchase some glass bangles for each child. This can also become part of their take home loot bag. Put on a bollywood music video and let the girls have some fun dancing along.

1) Tissue paper flowers (twotwentyone).

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/

2) 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 (babble.com).

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/.

5) 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!
