Kanaya's princess birthday party

The party was last Saturday... Did some of the stuffs in very last minute, but I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.

This is the little "dessert bar"...

Cupcakes from Cupkeiks. The cupcake toppers were designed & printed by myself... :)

Cookies by Cinnamon Cake. I love the shapes (dresses, shoes, crowns & magic wands) & the emboss texture that Mba Nani Selian did for the icing. You can see more detailed picture here. Great job Mba Nani... :)

Love the Chinese take away boxes from Kinderplay. I printed the "please fill me" label & put the ribbon myself. The girls loved filling these with anything on the table.

The girls decorated crown headbands while waiting for other girls to come. I made them using glittered crown shaped thick paper that attached to colorful headband using felt. I bought some mobile phone stickers so the girls can stick the embellishment without glue mess.

 

I put some make up (just a little eye shadow, blush & lip gloss) on each girl at the "beauty bar". Each also got a princess tattoo. The girls loved to be pampered that way... The beauty bar located in Kanaya's room on her dressing/ study table.

The blue traincase on the right had the goodie bags for the girls to choose & fill with any dress up items on the table. There are magic wand pencils, sily bandz & tattoos & hair bows.

 

I put some prizes for the games on the tray too. There are couple of little mirrors, polkadot hairbows & beaded bracelet made by Kanaya.

Look at those sticker tattoos... aren't they cute? The girls couldn't wait to have them on their arms.

We didn't have any photo booth, but I decided to turn Kanaya's bedroom wall into one. Her bedroom has purple & torquise color wall with tree & birds decal that I made.

 

The look at the girls' faces were priceless. What I want the most is that Kanaya had a good time with her friends on her birthday. And she did...

Bad news... Kanaya is really ill at this moment. It's been more than 1 week. The doctor suggested a bedrest. Hope she will be OK before her birthday. So I work from home & manage to finish some things for her birthday that's on this Saturday! You might want to see part 1 & part 2 too...
 
Done the printables...

 

 

Done the fabric bunting...

It's time to make the crowns for the girls to decorate... but I haven't got the right paper yet... panic...

WIP: Kanaya's birthday party - part 2

Finally, I've finished making the goodie bags for Kanaya's birthday that's coming up. As you see in part 1, the color would be blue, pink & purple. I tried to make everything handmade & try so hard not to buy any new supply & use things that are already in my craft drawer... )

What will be inside the bags? Since the theme is about dressing up princess party, so everything is about dressing up & being pretty...

I can't resist the crown applique & the crown ribbon listed on eBay, coz they're all so perfect for the favors. I made them + my plain grossgrain ribbon into these princess hairbows.

A princess is not a princess without a magic wand...

They're actually wooden pencils with felt pencil toppers. So after the party, the girls can use them as stationary. Do you know that they're my first felt project ever? I'm sure you can tell... :)


And look at what I found: princess set silly bandz. The shapes are perfect to go with images that I did for the cupcake toppers, & also with the cookies that I've ordered.

I wish the crown silly bandz came in lighter/ aqua blue color. It would be more perfect... I will pack 3 or maybe 4 for each girl.

There would be only 5 girls invited... yet I still have a lot to do: make the crowns for the decorating-the-crown activity, design more printables, etc. Hope I can finish them on time... Wish me luck!

Stripe medium pinwheel hair bows

More medium pinwheel bows... This time they're made out of stripey grosgrain ribbon. It's quite hard to find stripe grosgrain ribbon in Indonesia, so I have to buy the ribbon from US. Note that the stripe ribbon is thicker and has better quality than the polka dot ribbon. Total dimension: 7cmx5cm each. Come in pairs, price: IDR 27.900,-/ pair (updated January 2013)

Polka dot medium pinwheel hair bows

What I like about pinwheel bow is that it's so versatile. It looks pretty by itself without being stacked, simple yet sophisticated. Here are some that made out of polka dot grosgrain ribbon. They're very simple that even an adult can wear them... :). Total dimension: 7.5cmx5cm each. Come in pairs, price: IDR 24.900,-/ pair (updated January 2013)
