More Daniel Party Decorations

My Daniel Tiger decorations continue today.    Today I made another banner and I made a clothesline to pin up photos of the little guy.    The banner is very similar to yesterday's banner with the exception of the square pennants.

The bigger challenge was the finding a way to display the photos.   It started first with a vitamin bottles that were being discarded.   I thought just putting a wood dowel in the center would be enough to display the pictures.   Well I was proven wrong.   There was not enough height so the photos could drape.    You also couldn't spread the two points to far apart or the anchors would fall over.  

So I will start with the vitamin bottles.   I covered them with zebra paper I found in a local craft store.  I couldn't find tiger stripes, so I colored in the white parts of the designer paper with my blendabilites!!!  I love how they came out.    Then I punched a hole in the top of the bottles with my crop-a-dile and put the wood dowel through the center.   I put some hot glue where the dowel goes through the center to ensure it would not come out.   I tied ribbon to hide the bottles top.    I filled the bottle with rice.    Then I sealed the bottle with hot glue so it would not open up.

Next came the bottom, I had these heavy duty cardboard paper rolls I got from a company I used to work at.    Not sure where you can find anything like this.    My goal was height, so if I didn't find these I was going to find card board boxes and decorate them.     So the roll were covered with black cardstock.   I attached it with sticky strip to keep it in place.     Next came the rosettes.    I scored two pieces of cardstock at one inch and attached the two pieces with my hot glue gun to make sure they stayed in place.     Next came Daniel Tiger.   I printed it out and cut it out with my circle framelits.   Daniel was glued to the project with hot glue.    Then I attached the rosette with the glue gun as well.

The two anchors were tied together with White & Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Trim.   I tied them on top and I also pulled out my hot glue gun and applied the glue to make sure they do not come undone.

Daniel Tiger Party Decorations

This weekend we celebrated my nephew's 1st birthday.   He loves his Daniel Tiger.   We started out with the red and white as theme with the invitaion, but when it came time looking for party decorations, we slowly found it was easier to find orange items then red.

The first orange item was the buckets for the centerpieces.   They are not only centerpieces but they are going be filled with yummy chips to put on everyone's table and we are going to tie balloons to the handles.

Let's just say it is not easy finding tiger striped items.   The only thing that came close was the orange and white tiger striped ribbon.   So when I found in a local craft store, I bought up a few rolls!

So today's Daniel Tiger decorations I will be showcasing are the bucket centerpieces, the cupcake toppers and high chair banner.  Images and Sentiments were printed on the computer and resized for the projects.

The ingredients to make all three projects are as follows:
Paper:  Whisper White, Tangelo Twist, Tangelo Twist Patterns Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Tiger Striped Ribbon from a local craft store
Tools:  Circle Framelits and Punches

Tips to do do the centerpieces:
To attach the ribbon to the bucket, use sticky strip.   To keep the bow and image in place, pull out your hot glue gun.  This will make sure that your items don't fall off halfway through the party.

Tips for the cupcake toppers:
Punch out your image and then punch out a circle to layer underneath.   To ensure that your cupcake toppers don't fall off, use your hot glue gun to keep the image in place.    I have used my adhesive in the past, but because of the wood stick in between I found the toppers would come apart.

Tips for your high chair banner:
To make the triangle.   Cut a rectangle of the size of the banner you would like to create.   Next find the center of the card stock from left to right.    Then with your paper cutter align the card stock so you cut your paper in a diagnolly. Taking the top corner and then center of the cardstock.   Then repeat with the other corner.

After cutting all three pennants, bring them over to the high chair then you align  the triangles so they fit perfectly accross the front.  Give yourself a decent amount of ribbon to start off so you can tie to the back of the high chair if you have a place you can tie it to.   Then across the top of the banner apply sticky strip and then apply the ribbon to the sticky strip.   Again leave ribbon at the end so you can tie it the high chair.
When you are done with the front, leave apply a second strip of sticky tape to the back and then add another layer of ribbon.  This will secure the banner from the back.

Here is the Daniel Tiger invitation I made for his birthday party.   I found clipart online and then resized it for the invitation.

The birthday party information was printed on the tag which is tucked nicely inside the pocket.   The pocket is a piece of cardstock folded over.   To keep the pocket in place I punched two holes on the side with a crop-a-dile then thread through baker's twine and tied a bow.

Stay tuned next week to see all the fun Daniel Tiger party decorations I made for his party.
