    Wow!!! Looks like an AMAZING party!!! I was wondering how you did the owl party favors and the book covers? Any suggestions? Thanks so much! :)

    Marina T wrote:

    Thank you. For the book covers, I printed out faux book spines from ms word. I folded the sides and hot glued them to the box. The key to the spines is to not glue them flat, they look more realistic if you give them a little curve. For the owl boxes, I used a tent used my cricut to cut out tab-top boxes, then added the head and scalloped cut outs (also cut from my cricut).

    Where did you find the 9 3/4 sign and the brick wall curtain?

    Marina T wrote:

    Hi Pamela, I made the sign on photoshop and poster printed it through word. The brick paper was school bulletin board paper that was laminated. You can purchase it at a local school supply store or online. :) Good luck with your party.

    Thanks. The powder in the small bottles is kool-aide, in different flavors. The bottles on the side are the sugar. The kids loved mixing their own drinks.

    Hi Janeen, I have been searching my computer files and can't find them. If I stumble onto them, I will let you know. Can you leave me your email, just in case. :)

    I used a tab-tuck box shape from one of my cricut cartridges. The eyes are circles, with a triangle for the face. The feathers on the body is a strip of paper, scalloped on one side. The box is completely made out of paper.
