For Brad’s birthday this year, Melody wanted us to do a G.I. Joe themed party. Now this party is just for the 3 of us, but I still go all out. I decided to make a G.I. Joe logo banner to hang between our sconces. It was not too hard using black, white, blue, and red cardstock. I found the font online for free, and simply recreated it!
Melody picked out a G.I.JOE themed birthday party for Brad. It is fairly hard to find old school GI Joe birthday party decorations. So I had to make it all. Today I want to share the birthday banner I made.
Melody’s 6th birthday was a Doc McStuffins themed party. Banners are always a focal point. I could not find any that were either reasonable priced or I loved. So I ended up making my own.
Like all of Melody’s birthday parties, I made her birthday banner for the Rainbow Ranger’s birthday party. I used the same cardstock that I used for her invitations, and I kept it in rainbow order just like she asked. The letters I kept in white.
So this was a really cute banner I made for Emily’s youngest’s first birthday. It was a fishing themed party, and he is O-FISH-ally ONE! The saying was also mentioned on his birthday party invite. With the way we did the font, there was not a good way to add the dashes, but I still think with the spacing it was adorable. I used a bobber for the “o” in one, and she decorated the wall with blue balloons to go along with the theme. This is also where he ate his smash cake!
For Dalton’s first birthday, Emily did a fishing themed party. She had so much cardstock leftover from all of her past parties with Lydia, that we decided to use random colors and make silhouettes of the fish. Then she could use the silhouettes to make various banners throughout the house.
Like all parties, I made a banner for Melody’s Frozen birthday party. I used my Silhouette to make the banner and went a different route than usual. I opted for circles in a blue glitter cardstock for the background. Then I used a free Frozen font I found online and cut that using white glitter cardstock. I also included snowflakes on each side of Happy. I could not use regular glue for this project. It didn’t handle well to the glitter. Instead I used hot glue. It took some time, but it worked. Check it all out below!
For Melody’s Frozen birthday party, we focused a lot on snowflakes. This worked well because I was able to find a lot on clearance after Christmas, and it was fitting for Frozen too. One of the things I had Brad make using his 3D printer was a snowflake banner. He used white filament (we had clear but that was a disaster that I will explain when I tell you all about the favors). I had him use two different size snowflakes for variety. The big issue we had was the twine. The holes in the snowflakes where too small for the twine I had. I ended up using sewing thread which was far from ideal but it worked for the party. The banner was cute and added a little touch to our living room since we had no other party decor in there.
