Party Decor...Part 2

Brayden's 2nd Birthday Party had a safari animals theme to it. I made a lot of the decor out of scrapbook paper (from Hobby Lobby) which allowed it to be a lot more personalized. I cut out letters for the "Celebrate" sign and hung on a twine from the curtain rod. A cute little blow-up monkey hung by it as well.

I hung a fishing net from our entry ceiling and
hung "Barrel of Monkeys" from it.
I found a great deal on bins of sidewalk chalk in the dollar
section at Target and simply wrapped them in Zebra fabric.
I put a small little safari animal on top and added the kids' names on each favor.
I tied a balloon and lined them up on my kitchen bar counter.
I found a chipboard "B" and ModPodged scrapbook paper on it
after painting the edges black. I attached it to a sheet of scrapbook paper
and hung it from our dining room chandelier.
I made the circle garland from a 1 1/2" circle punch. I used ModPodge
(could use glue) to adhere the scrapbook circles together with twine in between.
I hung these from the arms of the chandelier.
Happy 2nd Brayden!!!
I just cut out scrapbook paper
and glued it on a plain brown gift bag.
For the candy from the pinata, I gave each child
a brown paper sack w/ a circle punch with their name on it,
so they could stash their candy to take home.
An awesome gift from Grayma & Graydaddy
that made an appearance at the party. You talk to the parrot,
and he really mimicks what you say. Brayden LOVES this!
Brayden's monkey mask and very cool "Brayden Goes to the Zoo"
book from Mimi & Papa...and Frecklebox.
Check it out, these are SO cool!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, and more cupcakes...
I made cupcake flags with scrapbook paper
and toothpicks. Super easy!
Jungle Juice! YUM!
I covered our coffee table with white butcher paper.
It was a fun area for the kids to color on...and not have to
worry about getting on the furniture!
The masterpiece after the party...
