Our little Levi became 1 this previous weekend and we celebrated with a farm theme first party! It used to be cute and a really perfect children’ celebration theme for early fall, too. It may be dear to throw any form of celebration, let on my own a themed, Pinterest-y one, however I controlled to stay it in reality budget-friendly by means of making the primary decorations myself: the pink barn background and the cow-print flag banner. The remaining I purchased at Greenback Tree and Celebration Town, extra on that underneath!
For the DIY barn backdrop, I used this weblog publish as a coarse information. The elemental development is modest: get started with a trifold presentation board (I were given mine at Greenback Tree). Lower alongside the highest of the board to create the roof form. Now that you’ve your fundamental barn form, quilt it with pink poster board (I used double-sided tape to connect it to the presentation board). Then reduce strips of white paper and glue them directly to create the barn dos and signature X’s. Subsequent, reduce 2 black rectangles for the home windows and layer on skinny strips of white paper for the window panes. Finally, reduce black strips to hide the fringe of the roof. Tip: I really like the usage of both a glue stick or double-sided tape as a result of liquid/gel glues like excellent ol’ Elmer’s can create bubbles below paper.
I secured it to the wall with small picture-hanging hooks (two of them are preserving the barn up at the wall), covering tape, and a couple of thumbtacks.
The tiny hay bales are Greenback Tree unearths, as are the fake fall flora and galvanized pots. The plastic animals are a part of our Little Other people farm play set.
I made the cow print flag banner with black and white poster forums, kitchen wire (any string or skinny ribbon would paintings), and a unmarried hollow punch. First I reduce out the white triangle flags, then reduce little, abnormal “splotches” out of the black poster board and used a glue stick with safe them to the flags. I punched holes within the most sensible corners of each and every flag and threaded the wire via each and every one. Tip: don’t reduce the wire till all the flags are threaded onto it and you’ll be able to cling it as much as the wall to estimate the spacing of the flags and the way lengthy you’ll need the completed banner.
I discovered the tiny straw hat with the pink 1 on it, the farm-theme top chair banner, and farm-theme plates and napkins at Celebration Town—their “Pleasant Farm theme.”
