Now Available: Medieval Knight Birthday Party August 17, 2011

I am so excited about this latest collection! After the cute and ultra girly Pink and White Damask collection, it was fun to switch gears and do something very manly! What could be more boyish than a medieval themed birthday party! Thank you Brigitte for contacting me about creating these them for your son’s upcoming party!

By Royal Decree, a Knights Tournament there shall be! Prepare to test your strength and power with the greatest knights of the kingdom! This birthday theme is sure to be a huge hit with boys of all ages! Wouldn’t you agree? As with all tournaments, there are two teams… in this case, the red team (the mighty griffin) and the blue team (the regal lion). All the party printables reflect these two team colors and logos. There can only be one birthday invite though so you get to choose which you’d prefer. Here they are:

 

If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I LOVE welcome door signs and absolutely ADORE cupcake toppers!

Every tournament has to have some friendly competitions! Here are some signs you can post at each game station!

 

 

Buffet food labels and water bottle wrappers add a manly touch to this party’s theme!  And of course, no birthday party would be complete without a banner and thank you tags for the favor bags!

 

 

This medieval knight party printable collection is now available at my Etsy store. If you want all the party pieces shown here, the cost is only $45! Such a bargain!

Tutorial: The Silk Flower March 17, 2011

You will need:

Silk flower

Lined double prong alligator clip

Hot Glue

Rhinestone Embellishment (optional)

 

Step 1

Cut the stem off the flower. Discard the plastic green “crown” so that all your have are the leaves.

Cut stem off the flower

Step 2

Separate each layer. We are going to glue these on the alligator clip, one layer at a time. We’ll start with the bottom layer and work our way to the top (smallest) layer.

Separate each layer

Step 3

Put hot glue on the alligator clip and on the largest layer of the silk flower.

Hot glue

Step 4

Press the flower on the alligator clip and hold to the count of 10.

Press flower on alligator clip

Step 5

Repeat with all the additional layers.

Repeat

Step 6

Once all the flower layers are glued on the clip in a stack, take your embellishment and glue it in the middle of the flower. If you don’t have an embellishment, you can use the ‘center’ of the flower and that’ll give you a more ‘natural’ look.

Embellish the center

Enjoy! And be creative:)
