Circus Birthday Party Ideas

Interestingly, I'm working on 2 circus themed first birthday parties that are a week apart from each other! Both clients wanted to go with a gender neutral theme that would be fun for guests of all ages. Think cotton candy, funnel cakes, corn dogs, balloon twisters, and carnival games.

Tutorial: Favor Bag Backdrop

I had the hardest time coming up with a backdrop for the cake table at Camden's Angry Birds birthday party. My idea of using Post-It Notes to create a pixelated backdrop sounded brilliant, but it turned out to be a flop (which was why I had so many Post-It Notes for the neon heart backdrop). Finally, I came up with this 3-D backdrop using the polka dotted bags that were used to hold the party favors. As promised, here's the super simple tutorial to recreate this favor bag backdrop : )

Tutorial: Neon Heart Post-It Notes Backdrop

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, I'm sharing my Neon Heart Post-It Notes backdrop tutorial on Bird's Party today. Of course this technique of folding over Post-It Notes could be used to make all sorts of gorgeous graphic backdrops. Check out my Post-It Notes Art board on Pinterest for more inspiration.
