Earlier this year my daughter turned 4, and being the only girl in the family, and the princess lover that she is, her parties are a blast to plan and host. Last year I caved into her desire for a princess party, but in an effort to avoid duplicating any parties, I convinced her (ok I didn't really have to do any convincing!) to have a "Sparkle Party". We planned a smaller guest list, so they could do activities like cupcake decorating and bracelet making, without the cleanup being TOO huge.
I used glitter washi tape on the cups and straws to dress them up a bit.
We also bejeweled the cutlery!
To make this banner which was used as a backdrop, and is now hanging in her room as decor, I used a large heart punch to cut out all the hearts, then fed them through a sewing machine. I wound them up on an empty paper towel roll until I was ready to use them. CRAFTER BEWARE: They tangle really easy and I had to cut in many places where I couldn't undo the mess. I cut strips all the same length and glued them along the top to a thin long piece of wood, for easy hanging.
Here is the tablescape complete with doily banner, plastic table cloths as backdrop covering, and the heart garland.
Rosette Cake. Use a wilton 1M tip, hold perpendicular to surface you are frosting, and slowing move in circles. Lots of Tutorials on Pinterest!
We LOVE celebrating Birthdays in our home!
