Balloon Wreath Tutorial

Oh Happy Day!

My Little Art Party was featured over

at Hostess With The Mostess today!!

I am so excited!! What? 

Excited is not even the word!

I really have no words to describe

how over the moon I am!

Well, I have had a few people write and ask

about how to make these very fun

balloon wreaths.

They are so easy you are not going to believe it!

So here are the instructions that I used

via How Does She!!

What do you need:

You need balloons. Lots and lots of balloons.

I used 3 bags of 72 count variety colored balloons.

 2 greening pin packs-

found at Craft stores in the artificial plant section

 Straw wreath

Important: leave the plastic on so it doesn’t shed.

What to Do:

You just take a greening pin, stick the balloon in the middle…

and stick it to the straw wreath......

Do this over and over and over until the whole wreath

 is filled in colorful balloons!

There you go!

Finished Product!

It is that simple!

Picasso Art Party!

My sweet little girl turned 4 last week and

had been talking about an Art Party for months!

It was the first time to invite classmates over

to her house for a party and she was beaming

with excitement!

I have so many pictures so bare with me

in this super size of a feature!

The little artist were greeted by a

birthday balloon wreath!

So super easy!  You must make one! 

And my Sweet Birthday Girl!

Don't you love that shirt!

The ever fabulous Kristina at Modern Frills never disappoints! 

 They are great shirts! 

The first task for my Mini Picasso's

were to make Picasso Pops!

My daughter's help me smash up colorful candies

and place them into bowls divided by colors.

Each guest made their own lollipops!

I wish I had pictures of the finished product...

however I had my hands full!

(Note to self:  Hire a Photographer!)

After making their Picasso Pops,

each little artist found their art supplies

in the Art Cubby that I set up.



Next, my little artists were off for a little

sand art fun!

After finishing their sand art, they painted

their own Picasso Masterpiece.

The kids were so creative! 

Who needs a little treat?

The kids had a little snack with painting

from these fabulous Kandy Kones

by Posh Party Pretties!

Starving Artist?

Yes, after all of that hard work, it was time to eat!

I kept the table design simple.

A row of colorful pails with matching pinwheels lined the table.

I cut the place mats out of colorful foam sheets

and added the dots to make a painters palette.

I tied up the gable boxes with a tag that

read "Starving Artist" and attached a paint brush

for a little added touch.

After all of that fun and lunch....

it is time for some sweets right?

Raibow Lantern hung above the Sweets Table...

I knew I had to have this ruffled table skirt as soon as

my daughter said "Art Party"!

The sweets table included this Fabulous Cake,

Cupcakes, Painters Palette Cookies, Colorful Gumballs,

Crayola Jelly Bellies, and last but not least..

Rainbow Cake Push Cakes!

The kids all made their own gumball masterpiece

to take home with them.

I had so much fun making the push cakes!

I had a little snag with the box displays

and had to serve them upside down,

but hey...it worked.

The kids loaded up their Art Cubby with Sand Art,

Paintings, Gumballs, and this fun little favor!

The favors were 4 small containers with

colorful playdoh in each. I tied them up with

some twine and included a mini polling pin,

and heart shaped cookie cutter on top!

I had so much fun planning this fun and colorful party

for my daughter!

Art is such a fun activity for little ones!
