DIY Lalaloopsy 5th Birthday Party

I made pretend movie tickets and added them to the Lalaloopsy party invites. (made on photoshop)

Searched online for stitching brushes for photoshop and made these envelopes. http://www.obsidiandawn.com/stitching-sewing-photoshop-gimp-brushes

Hand made Food Labels. I wrapped yarn around sewing thread spools, added a painted lollipop stick, and made labels in photoshop.

Bought fake flowers at the $1 store and added button flowers to the center of each as a center piece. http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/artsycrafty_babe/2008/03/button-flower-t.html

Strung together with yarn.

DIY button garland made from paper plates

I made this from a few different tutorials I threw together: The actual banner:http://crafete.com/2010/11/how-to-make-a-paper-bunting-birthday-banner/ The Round fan piece: http://animalheadvintage.blogspot.com/2010/04/diy-paper-award-ribbon.html

I've always thought milk jars look so classy, so I found a tutorial on how to make your own: http://www.tealandlime.com/2011/09/diy-glass-milk-bottles-tutorial/

Finished product. I added a stick of licorice on the day of the party to use as a straw.

The tiny label rounds for the milk jars.

Bought Party hats that looked somewhat Lalaloopsy-ish at the $1 store.

Added regular Christmas garland with a glue gun to spice them up.

Blowing out the candles.

Wow, I just browsed all of your pictures and I have to say you did an awesome job!! I loved everything! My daughters are turning 7 next week, and one wants La la loopsy and of course the other one wants something different, so I am having a difficult time merging the two! Thanks for your wonderful documented ideas! You gave me some great ideas!

I hope the URLs help with the tutorials all being in one place. I think searching for ideas and tutorials took more time then actually making the stuff. And thank you for looking. :)
