Hello Kitty Birthday Party
My name is Kim Wilson, I am 27 and I have a challenge blog, www.offthewallcraftiness.blogspot.com. I would like to share with you my projects to create a super cute Hello Kitty birthday party! I love making any and everything for parties and sometimes go a little overboard but I love to craft and embellish! This set can be altered to fit any girls party theme!
For this party you will need:
- Birthday banner
- Low price flip flops
- Clear paint bucket with lid and goodies to fill it
- Paper party hat
- Plates, Napkins
- Dress, I got this one for $4 on clearance at Walmart!
- Maribou feathers for the hat
- Flat back embellishments
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Character patch for dress ( I made this one on my embroidery machine)
- Tweezers
- Lighter
- Needle and thread
- 2 Alligator hair clips
- 2 Safety pins
- Lots of your favorite May Arts Ribbons!
Flip Flops
- Wrap straps with ribbon and glue ends inside straps.
- Make three bows in different colors and ribbons using the technique found here in gradually smaller sizes.
- Using the Grosgrain White Ovals ribbon cut out two ovals leaving the center connected and use a lighter and tweezers carefully burn all the way around the ovals to heat seal.
- Using the hot glue place a small dot of glue on the back side where the ovals meet and bring oval sides back behind and glue down to make a bow.
- Repeat one more time for each shoe with different colors.
- Stack the three bows and two oval bows. Using a needle sew it all together until sturdy.
- Using hot glue attach alligator clip making sure not to glue clip shut.
- Add embellishment and clip onto shoes!
Hat
- Glue maribou trim to bottom of hat
- Make another oval ribbon bow, criss cross two ribbons and glue together, add embellishment with glue also and once dry adhere to top of hat!
The Dress
- Iron on patch
- Cut an assortment of May Arts ribbons, layer, trim to length and wrap thin ribbon around it to hold together, hot glue ends closed to hold it well.
- Using safety pin attach to the dress.
Goodies Bucket
- Cut one plate to fit inside the lid
- Tie pieces of ribbons to bucket handle.
- Heat seal edges using the lighter to prevent fraying.
- Fill with goodies!
And thats it! I know it looks like a lot but once you get the hang of it it will go fast! Hope you enjoyed my projects!
