Turning five inevitably means you want a birthday party with the theme of your favorite TV show. I had managed to avoid character parties thus far, but the birthday boy gets what he wants. After all was said and done, Captain Barnacles and I were on pretty good terms!

This past weekend we finally got a chance to celebrate my youngest babes 1st birthday (still trying to figure out where the time went!). I wanted to do some play on one so I decided to go with a theme of One sweet year and incorporate milk and cookies into this theme. Since this was a bit delayed and a small celebration it's not quite as elaborate as some of the other parties but it was still so much fun! I found the milk and cookies theme when I was searching online and then decided to put m
Of all the different party types that come my way, one of my FAVORITE things to see is a very well-done character party. Maybe it’s because I have kids
Last weekend was Master T's 5th birthday party. Earlier in the year i showed him about 5 pinterest boards of birthday party themes. I asked a few times and he chose construction each time. This worked perfect as half our backyard is incomplete so there was space for tonka trucks, buckets & spades to play in the sand. This is the first party we have had at our new home, it was fantastic, my favourite party so far. The invite & entrance decorations. My old house had no portico so i did front door signs. Its nice to add something extra. Once all quests arrived i moved the balloons/cone to the backyard. I made road signs and stuck on either side of sliding doors (got too busy and forgot to take a photo). They are all double sided so can been seen both inside and outside. I will do a mini tutorial on how you can make your own. I got all the kids a helmet and made labels with their names on. I also labelled their buckets with their goodies inside. I used a toolbox to hold the plates & napkins. The food was a big hit with barely any leftovers. The savoury food wasn't themed but a selection of most loved party food. The nuts & bolts mix with little cupcake cases was a last minute idea which worked great. I made all the sweets construction theme which was great fun a very well received. Tim Tam Ball Recipe Brownie Tyres - These are brownies i cut with a circle cookie cutter and then handcut the centre out. I covered in chocolate frosting and dunked them in chocolate sprinkles Jelly Slice Stop Signs - Turns out octagon cookie cutter doesnt work well with jelly & icing does like to stick to jelly either. Points for trying though ;) Watermelon + Rockmelon + HoneyDew = Traffic Lights I got Julian a box of tool chocolates for his 1st Father's Day. I kept the tray inside thinking it would make a good chocolate mould one day. I made these chocolates then unfortunately in my tired daze i put the tray in the dishwasher and it melted. Ooops Orange jelly in tall plastic shot glasses. I wrapped white electrical tape to create the barricade look. The 'Dig In' signs are available in my 'Printables' Tab. I put some construction cones in the backyard and attached caution tape (you can get big rolls from Bunnings). This section of the garden will one day be a deck with pergola over it which we plan to put outdoor lounges under. Our toilet is in a unusual place (just off the study/dining area) so i added this sign to make it easy for guests to find. It suited the construction theme and much nicer than a port-a-loo I've saved the best for last. . . The cake. Oh how i love this cake. I'm so proud of how it turned out and it's now my new favourite. I will be posting a tutorial on how i did this later this week. There is a tutorial for a round cake version HERE but we did square and in a different method - My Construction Cake Tutorial The rocks are edible - they were from the Reject Shop at Easter time. I will have a selection of 'road signs' available in my 'Printables' tab. Master T making his birthday wish
This is another Tutu Skirt I made for 2-year-old girl, details in How to make a No-Sew Tutu Skirt. Making Tutu Skirt or Dress is easy and inexpensive, everyone can do it only if you are willing to spend few hours on it. After learning the basic techniques (that I am going to show), you can customize the color, the style or add any decorations on it, specially design for the child's fairy dress up party, Halloween costume, Christmas party, Birthday party..... Basically, you only need two major materials, they are tulle ribbon and 1/2" wide elastic. 1) Measure the waist of the kid, and cut the wide elastic to the length that minus 1" to 2" for the waistband of the tutu dress. 2) Overlap the two ends of elastic by around 1/3" and sew it with needle and thread. 3) Cut the length of tulle ribbon, but what should be the length? The distance from the waistband to the length that you would like to have, then multiply by 2 and add 1" on it. 4) If your tulle ribbon is the whole piece, you should cut it 3" wide. But the tulle ribbon that I bought is in a roll, the width is suitable for making the tutu dress. 5) Everything is ready, let's start! 6) Place the elastic around the back of chair or something that similar to it. 7) Fold one strip of tulle ribbon in half (that is the reason of mutiply by 2 in length, step 3). 8) Tie a knot around the waistband (that is the reason of add 1" in length, step 3). 9) Repeat (7) and (8), and put the second knot next to the first knot. 10) Squeeze the knots tightly after making four to five knots. (my practise, seems much faster) 11) As reference: Waistband: 19" Tulle ribbon strip length: 15" (I cut the length of 31") Tulle ribbon strip used: 90 pieces Here are some tips in How to take care of Tutu Skirt / Dress Recently, I use leftover tulle and ribbon to make a princess cape for my daughter, it is really a simple handmade craft, sure everyone can make it too! Here it is How to make a princess cape and tiara
