DIY Birthday Party Ideas

Cereal Box Pinata

Turn an empty cereal box into a party game by making your own pinata.

Charade Popsicle Sticks

Write easy charade ideas (monkey, sneeze, umbrella, dancing) on wooden craft sticks. Adorn with
pompoms and place in a jar decorated with wash tape. No Peeking!

Parcel Tag Banner

Stick letter on individual parcel tags and string them together for a fun twist on the classic banner.

DIY Number Wall

Those large metallic Mylar number balloons are very trendy but can be pretty expensive. Create
the same large-scale impact with regular balloons. Just tape them to the wall, using a single colour
for more of a graphic punch. Scrunch up coffee filters (yep, coffee filters!) to look like flowers and
fill in the gaps between the balloons.

Decorative Banner

A custom-made banner is a sweet party decoration. But ordering one from Etsy or a local maker
can get a little pricey. Instead, use your computer and printer to make your own. It’ll require a bit of
effort but minimal talent, and it’s reusable-after the party, simply take the letters off the string and
store them flat in an envelope.

Ombre Balloon Garland

Blow Up some small balloons and tie each one to a long piece of ribbon. Slide them around to
even it out. Adorable!

Photo Booth Wall

Create a washi-tape frame on the wall big enough to accommodate a couple of kids. Offer up
some fun props and snap away! After the party, email the photos to your guests as keepsakes.
Don’t stress about your wall paint getting ruined-wash tape peels off easily.

Cake Flags

Easily elevate a boring cake with these cute flags, which also look adorable on a tray of cupcakes.
Just fold a piece of washi over one end of a wooden skewer and then cut a notch to create a flag
shape. Use toothpicks if that’s all you have on hand.

Custom Tableware

Disposable tableware is convenient, but a little plain. If you want to spruce it up, try wash tape.
Wrap the ends of cutlery, tape around cups, add flags to straws, or cut out a cute bunting motif to
jazz up plain brown paper loot bags.
