My sweet cupe had her 4th birthday recently! She wanted a Busytown birthday party (she loves lowly worm and huckle). I looked everywhere for decorations with that theme but there really is nothing out there! So what is a girl to do? I went to work creating my own decorations for her BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER! The colors we went with were turquoise/aqua,, yellow and orange with a bit of red thrown in. I figured that even without too many actual Busytown decorations I could pull everything together with color.
Invitations:
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How? Are from Busytown Mysteries (tv show).
Decorations:
I used my cricut expression to cut out the apple shapes to make this. They are cut at 2 inches. I added random Busytown characters that I cut out from books. I used the center cut setting.
I mounted them on foam board using pop dots for dimension. I just put the foam board into the frame and taped the back.
Here are the table centerpieces:
I found the picture holders at Michaels and then I used my Cricut to make circles to mount pictures of Cupe from her birth and each birthday she has had. In the center I had little buckets (from target's dollar section) that I put some orange flowers (from Michaels) in and then added some yellow filling. The colors gave it just the right festive touch!
The picture holders have a little insert that you can add a picture, so I added a busytown picture!
Here are the wall cut-outs I made.
I used foam board and then free-handed the characters and painted them. They were cut out using an exacto but I think that if I ever do this again I may not use foam board. It's too difficult to cut out!
I bought some cheap frames (dollar tree) and framed some Busytown characters and had them in various places around the living room.
I really hope you enjoy this post! I had so much fun creating everything for the party. I apologize for disappearing for so long, I've had a very busy few months! I'll post part 2 before the end of the week!
