Carnival Party Sneak Peek #1

I am in party planning mode.

Like a magnet, I'm drawn to all things red and white striped right now.  I am currently in the process of planning my daughter's 9th birthday party.  Her birthday is 12/12, so this year, with it falling on 12/12/12 - I figured we'd do it up big. CARNIVAL STYLE... Here is a sneak peek of just some of the things I am working on.  Just wait till it all comes together. 

Centerpieces for the tables 
*I am thinking about adding a pair of big colorful lollipops to this display.

Labels for just some of the items on the Sweets & Treats Table

Caramel Popcorn Cones

More items for the Sweets & Treats Table

Signage for the Prize bins

Come back tomorrow when I will run down some of the details of the party - color scheme, location, games, activities, etc.

I love your centerpieces! We're having a carnival-themed first birthday party for my daughter. How did you make the paper flowers?

HI Lisa - Thanks for the kind words. Here is a blogpost that has a quick tutorial. Although, when I made mine, I just folded the strips of paper by hand. http://thecraftpatch.blogspot.com/2011/10/accordi....

Good luck on your party!!! have fun.

Did you use scrapbook paper? And what did you use for the center circle? One more question (promise!)- Where do you buy those adorable red and white sticks? Thanks so much!

Hi - Yes, I used scrapbook paper, but the kind that is a little heavier weight. That's why you can see the folds in the "flower" are not very defined. For the sticks, I used regular bbq skewers that you can find in walmart or the dollar store. I covered the sticks with some washi tape I bought from Michael's. I got the popcorn containers from the dollar tree as well. I stuck one of those green foam squares down in the bottom that florists use. Then I sprayed it with spray adhesive and I put the colored crinkle basket paper in there. (I got the basket filler paper from Dollar Tree as well) And by the way... I love the questions. Keep them coming. Where are you located? I may have some items you can use.
