I had a lot of fun planning my daughter’s 8th birthday party. We had a family birthday party and a friend birthday party for her with a rainbow art party theme. For the cake table, I made some melted crayon art. The cake table was also a display for the rainbow candy buffet. I also…
Rainbow Candy Buffet
I fell in love with candy buffets when they hit the wedding scene years ago. The different sizes, shapes, and colors of candy are a great decoration as well as a party favor. I’ve been collecting glass jars for awhile and decided that a rainbow candy buffet would be perfect for my daughter’s art birthday…
Photo Booth Backdrop
This easy photo booth backdrop was a last-minute, fit-it-in-if-there’s-time-to-prepare-it activity that we did for my daughter’s birthday party. I made this for her friend party. It ended up being a fun addition and I’m glad we included it. I think it will be fun to look back at the pictures of her and her friends…
Clothespin Picture Frame
I love the organized casualness of displaying pictures with clothespins. I like to paint the clothespins and/or embellish with scrapbook paper to coordinate with the party or holiday I am decorating for. Last year, for my kids birthday parties I made a clothespin picture garland around a table. This year, I decided to consolidate the…
Art Birthday Cake
I have been a little slow putting together pictures from my daughter’s art birthday party. There are a lot of pictures to go through and I have a hard time narrowing them down. I’ve also been extra tired and a little burnt out from the parties, so I’ve been taking a little break. My friend…
Crayon Wreath
Crayons are the perfect medium for crafting and creating beautiful decor. I shared my melted crayon art for my daughter’s art party last week. This crayon wreath from A Mrs. in the Making looks so easy to make and a great project to celebrate the beginning of the school year. This would also be a…
Rainbow Fruit Tray
Isn’t it pretty? here is no hiding that I love fresh fruit. I like to have fresh fruit easy available in the fridge. If the kids are hungry and want a snack, I always say, “Get some fruit.” When the kids were younger we used to buy a lot of fruit snacks. That’s what you…
Rice Krispie Paint Brush
While I was gathering ideas for my daughter’s art birthday party, I came across several parties that had used Rice Krispie Treats dipped in melted chocolate to look like paint brushes. I thought the paint brushes were a cute art birthday party idea and decided to make some “gourmet” Rice Krispie Treat paint brushes for…
Melted Crayon Art
Melted crayons on a canvas. Wow. Can it get better than this!? I saw this stunning idea about a year ago. Since then, I’ve seen the idea everywhere online. When I decided to do an art birthday party for my daughter, the melted crayon art was the first thing that made it to the project…
Art Birthday Party Invitation – Free Printable
I’m throwing my daughter her first “friend” birthday party this week. In the past we’ve done a family birthday party and that was it, but this year I decided to do both – a family birthday party and a friend birthday party. I’m sure I’m spoiling her and definitely out of my mind, but it’s…
