How to Make Birthday Party Hats

 

To make hats for your next birthday party, try this idea. Draw a circular line across the corner of an envelope, using a plate or something round as a guide. Cut along this line. Make a fringe all around the edges, cutting about 1 inch deep. See Figure a pictured above. Make two tiny holes at each side of the hat and run a length of narrow ribbon through it. The ribbon can be tied under the chin, as shown in Figure b above. These birthday party hats are really a lot more comfortable than the rubber band ones and turn out so cute.

How to Make a Decorative Party Ball

Fold 12 gold notary seals (or cut out 12 colorful circles) through the center, as pictured in figure1 . Glue one to the other as shown in figure 2, placing a string between two of them for a hanger. When all seals have been glued together they give the appearance of a ball.

Make a Pop Up Birthday Party Table Placeholder Card

These are fun to make and are really neat to look at. Cut a rectangle piece of paper out and then fold down the middle the long way. Cut out a crown (just 2 letter 'M' shapes at an angle)...but don't cut out the bottom of the crown. Then draw a kids face at the bottom of the crown and write your guest's names on each card. When you put the card on the table, the crown pops up. These are great to see and make.

Fun Birthday Party Game and Craft too Play

This is a very fun game and craft to play at a birthday party. Get 4 players for this game. Each person needs to draw without the other players seeing, so draw with backs towards eachother. The first person draws a random animals's head and folds the paper over to the back...leaving a portion of the neck on the next part of the page so the next person knows where to start his drawing. The next person draws the chest of a random animal. and folds the page back, again leaving a little bit of a line to show where to start the next part. The next person draws the belly of a random animal...folds it back again. The next person draws feet of a random animal.
