I am burning the midnight oil these days getting ready for our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. Here are a couple of the printables I have worked up for the various Angry Bird needs we have. I don't have anything made up yet, but here are the printables. Above are the little birdies and pigs that I plan to use when making the napkin ring-like thingies. This... This... And This are labels for the photo cubes {Finished product to be shown off shortly}. These are tiny pigs I am using for the centerpieces. These... And these are slightly bigger piggies for the bean bag toss game. These are the biggest piggies. I was going to use these for the bean bag toss game, but now I think they might be too big. These too. This... and this are for the blocks that are part of the centerpieces. These are the faces found HERE for balloons, I just shrunk them smaller to fit either small balloons or the foam balls {only $.98 at Walmart} I am using on the tables. These and... These are the birdies I am using for the beanbag toss. OK, wish me luck. Now to take all these hours of printable-making and turn them into actual things. Have a Great Weekend!!!

Once Wyatt said he wanted an Angry Birds birthday party, the ideas started flowing. I had my own thoughts and ideas, and I found inspiration from the internet. Angry Birds seems to be everywhere, except not in the party supply department. So, we had to come up with some things on our own; but, since when has that ever been an issue for us? We got started yesterday as soon as we got back from soccer with the balloons. I found a printable template to make the Angry Birds from balloons over on this website. And really, it's all the decorating we needed to do! We had a great assembly line...cut, spray with adhesive, stick to balloons, tie string, and hang. It was really nice to have the extra hands of my parents and Monica and Michael here to help, and to be at the party! We loved having them here! We hung them upside down from the ceiling at different levels. It couldn't have looked more awesome, in my opinion! Since the theme was based on an actual game, I figured it would be really cool to make a life-sized Angry Birds game. I couldn't find anything to go off of from the internet, so it was kind of up to me how I wanted to do it. I thought so hard about how I wanted to do it, and finally came up with it. Eric would make a slingshot (however he wanted to), we would spray paint boxes to be the stone/wood/glass that the Angry Birds shoot into, balloons for the green pigs, and (my genius idea) to paint kickballs as the Angry Birds! Which, we would give away as the party favor! (Another genius idea by me.) So, that's what I did. I used acrylic craft paint to paint the yellow and red Angry birds. And it really didn't take too long! Only a couple of hours, total, to do them all. I was really, really happy with how they turned out. After everything was in place and cleaned up, it was time to celebrate our little man! I used photoshop to create a Wyatt Angry Birds invitation. And then had it printed to use as decoration. His little face on the red Angry Bird cracks me up. Wyatt makes the best faces! Michael and Eric set up the Angry Birds game out in the back yard. They corralled all of the children onto the deck while they set it up and "tested" it out. After the men played for a bit, I got in there and set up the boxes and threw in the pig balloons. Eric tried so hard to come up with ways on how to get the balloons to pop or explode upon the Angry Bird ball hitting them, but couldn't come up with something that was cost-effective. But it was OK, because the pigs didn't last long; they got blown away or snatched by children who wanted to play with them. In the game, the slingshot and the pile-ons (?) are positioned and lined up like this. But it gave it a narrow target. So we ended up turning the pile-ons the other way, so that we could actually hit them and knock stuff down. Oh yeah, we also got a bounce house, which all of the kids loved, of course. (It's a great way to wear them out, too!) Wyatt taking a turn launching an Angry Bird. Jackson loved, loved, loved stacking the boxes. He got so into it! It doesn't surprise me, though, because of how much he loves the game. I loved watching him build the pile-ons. He was so proud of them and had so much fun doing it! The kids loved the slingshot. And I loved how they lined up and took turns with it! And it was just as much fun for everyone to make the pile-ons. As someone at the party said, it was such a great "boy" thing to have at the party. I couldn't agree more! Singing to Wyatt. Wyatt had a blast. We all had a blast. Wyatt got a bunch of cool toys, too. I don't think there was a happier boy around. The boy is so loved. So loved by all. He just has something that draws people to him. And I don't think it's the red hair. He's such a sweet, tender, loving boy and it shows! We are so happy to have him in our lives!
My son just turned 7 years old and he really wanted to have an Angry Birds Star Wars birthday party. So it was up to me to figure out how to make that happen! The first thing I worked on the invitations. I found a nice large Angry Birds Star Wars Logo graphic online and used that as a base for my invitations. I found a font that looked like the Angry Birds Font as well as a Star Wars font and used them to add text to the image. It turned out pretty awesome, don't you think? Next I worked on the party favors/goody bags to send home with his friends. Naturally with any party theme that includes Star wars, we had to make pool noodle light sabers for all his friends. I LOVE how they turned out, and they were really easy. We just cut the pool noodles in half, and taped the bottoms with chrome duct tape. Then I used black electrical tape to make all the pool noodles look like light saber handles. Each one was different, and the boys LOVED them. We also sent home a little goody bag. Luckily Angry Birds Star Wars is very popular and I found an abundance of Angry Bird Star Wars goodies at Walmart in their dollar bins. They had pens, pencils, activity packs, notebooks, you name it! We decided to send home a fun activity pack, some coloring pages, a pencil, and Angry Birds Star Wars Bag. I put the logos on the little black bags myself. I used my craft cutter to make a stencil of the logo and then painted it on with fabric paint. They turned out great! As you can see, I just used black vinyl tablecloths and paper products. The boys didn't care about that stuff anyway. I did find a really cool double-sided Angry Birds Star Wars banner to print and hang up, which all the boys thought was pretty cool. Before long we had everything ready for the party. When the day arrived, Jonah was SO excited for the party to start. He couldn't wait for his guests to arrive. As soon as the boys arrived, they each got to pick a pool noodle. As you can guess, Jedi battles immediately ensued! The good thing is that with the pool noodle light sabers, no one really gets hurt. Especially when you lay the ground rule of "No hitting above the shoulders". Games As soon as all the boys arrived, we started the games. The first game was called Jedi Lightsaber Battle. We gave each of the boys a cracker tied on a string to put around their necks. The cracker represented their life force. They had to protect their life using their lightsaber (not by covering it with their hand!) If their cracker got broken, then they "died". The last Jedi standing was declared the winner. Needless to say, the boys loved this game! It is perfect for boys this age group or older. We even ended up playing it more than once, so it was a good thing I made plenty of "cracker necklaces". After all that lightsaber dueling, the boys were a little out of breath. So we decided to play a round of Angry Bird Star Wars Bingo. This was a great game to get the boys to sit still for a minute, and they loved it! They got to look for their favorite characters on their game boards, and eat their candy markers when someone got bingo! I actually made the bingo boards myself in Photoshop. They were based on inspiration I found at an Etsy shop and it was not too hard to create them using images I found online. We played one other quick game that the boys thought was a lot of fun: Pop the Piggies. I made lots of balloons that looked like stormtrooper pigs. I drew the faces on the with marker and then added the ears. Pretty cool, huh? We divided up into two teams and each team had to run across the lawn, grab a pig, and take it back to his team and pop it. Then the next person in line got to go get a pig to pop. The first team done with their balloons won. It was really fun! After our short games, we started the main game: life-sized Angry Bird Star Wars. A friend of ours recently did an Angry Birds party and built a real sling shot. They were kind enough to let us borrow it. How cool is that? We used lots of cardboard boxes to create the sets for the boys to shoot down. They had a great time setting up the cardboard boxes. I thought about getting plush Angry Bird Star Wars characters for them to knock down, but decided they were a bit too expensive. So I just printed out images of imperial pigs online and glued them onto boxes. Honestly I don't think the boys cared that the pictures were just glued on boxes. They just LOVED putting the balls in the slingshot and letting them fly! We had so much fun stacking the boxes up and then letting the birds go! The balls had bird faces painted on them and everything. They didn't look exactly like the characters in Angry Birds Star Wars, but nobody seemed to mind at all! We had so much fun! Before long it was time for the cupcakes. I looked everywhere for cake ideas, but did not want to dish out a ton of money for fondant figures. Nor did I especially feel like making an elaborate cake myself. So here is what we ended up with. Pretty cool, huh? I found these edible cupcake toppers at a shop called Caketattoos. They are printed with edible ink on edible paper and were so easy to put on the cupcakes. I think they looked great! The boys loved them. The shop even sells images that are large enough to put on a cake. We almost went that route, but cupcakes are always good at a party! Jonah and his friends absolutely LOVED his party. It was SO much fun that the boys didn't want to leave when their parents came to get them! Now that's what I call a party!

Decorations were the easiest at this banquet. Since we had just moved 3 weeks prior to this event- I needed this to be a VERY simple event.
This is my Top Secret Christmas Project! My boys (husband included, but especially the boys!) are obsessed with the game Angry Birds. They like the game, but they really like to play a real life version they invented, where they chuck objects at each other. (Don't worry! They use safe projectiles for this!) I want to make their game a little more fun for them, so I am creating some Angry Birds and pigs for them to play with! Again, this is a secret, so it has not been easy to put together a tutorial. I would wait until after Christmas, but... Maybe you want to add them to your secret project list, too? Update: I now have patterns for the Pig and little blue bird, and for the yellow bird! And now also the green bird, white bird, black bomb bird, and baby pig! What you need: small amounts of the following: ~ red fleece ~ black fleece ~ white fleece ~ orange fleece and: ~ fiberfill stuffing ~ free-motion foot (optional but highly recommended!) ~ pattern (click here!) STEP ONE: Cut out 4 body pieces (in the file it has a face drawn on it) in red, a rectangle of white approximately the same size as the red pieces (shown above), a 2"x3" rectangle of black, one of each of the beak patterns in orange, and some scraps to use for creating the feathers for the top of his head. The pattern piece on top of the white and red is the belly of the bird. NOTE: You want the stretchiest direction of the fleece to go left-to-right! STEP TWO: Cut out the white belly portion of the pattern so you can mark where it goes on the one red panel that will have all his features. On the wrong side of the panel, mark the line. I used chalk, but you could also use pencil or a "disappering ink" marker. STEP THREE: Layer the panel on top of your white rectangle. BOTH LAYERS should be right side DOWN -- with the marked line showing on top. Sew directly on the line. I used my free-motion foot for this, for speed's sake and to avoid having to lift the presser foot and turn the fabric. STEP FOUR: "Draw" on the eyes -- still working from the wrong side! Working from the back will make it easy for you to see your previous stitching lines and place the features accordingly. Again, I used my free-motion foot, but you could do this with a regular foot. STEP FIVE: Trim away the excess white fleece to reveal your bird's eyes and white belly. STEP SIX: Layer your black rectangle over the top of your bird's eyes. Be sure there is sufficient area to create his pupils and eyebrows. STEP SEVEN: Flip it over and "draw" sew his pupils and eyebrows! He's looking ticked off now! STEP EIGHT: Trim the lower half of your white fleece to match the red, then trim away the excess red, as shown. STEP NINE: Trim away the excess black fleece to reveal his eyebrows and pupils. Hee hee! I love it! STEP TEN: Create the feathers for the top of his head. REMEMBER: The lines on the feather pattern piece are your SEWING lines, and NOT your cutting lines! I used some small scraps of red fleece and free-motion sewed directly around the pattern piece. Cut around your sewn lines, remembering to clip almost all the way to your sewing line between the feathers, and turn it right side out. STEP ELEVEN: Layer one of your red panels directly on top of your bird's face, right sides together. Sew down the right hand side of the pieces, using a 3/8" seam allowance. Repeat for the other two panels. Your bird is now put together in two halves. STEP TWELVE: Center your feather piece over the seam on the "face" half of your bird, raw edges together, with the bigger feather on the left, and pin it in place. STEP THIRTEEN: Go around to the bottom half of your ball and layer the two halves right sides together with the seams matching. Pin if you like. (I didn't! Lazy!) Start sewing a few inches behind the matched seams (so the opening for stuffing will be on the back of the bird, not right by his face), and sew almost all the way around, leaving a few inches for turning and stuffing. STEP FOURTEEN: The beak! Match your two beak pieces together on one edge, with the smaller piece on top, and sew with 1/4" seam allowance. Stop with the needle DOWN, 1/4" before the point of the beak. Lift your presser foot, turn the beak, and shift the smaller beak piece over until the sides match, as shown. Lower your presser foot and continue sewing to the end. Turn the beak right side out and stuff it. STEP FIFTEEN: Sew on the beak! If you like, you can use four pins to hold the beak in place after you line it up the way you like it. The smaller portion of the beak is the bottom, and the larger portion is the top. Turn the edges of the beak under as you go, and sew the beak in place. I like to match up the seam of the beak to the line where his white tummy starts. The red angry birds do have a little black tail, which I chose to omit. If yours must have a tail, you can certainly sew a little tail using the same method as the head feathers, and attach it the same way as the beak. I suppose I may go back and add tails to mine! Ta-Da!! They are so very angry -- and CUTE! Here are a couple of my red birds with a little blue one. I do plan on making all the different "breeds." The method is the same, with slightly different facial features. Of course there are some egg-shaped birds, and that pyramid-shaped yellow bird -- which will require a different basic pattern. But they are in the works! If anyone is interested in patterns for the other birds -- or the PIGS, which I am in the middle of creating -- let me know! And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post pictures to my flickr group if you make these little guys!! I wanna seeeeeeee! :o) (Update: I've now created some Angry Birds Christmas ornaments -- check them out here!)
