Olivia's Cinderella Birthday Party

This party was thrown for my best friends grand daughter! I found out she wanted a Cinderella themed birthday party and I started planning. I made my own rag streamer and all the decorations. Using felt and cloth to hand stitch pumpkins and a Cinderella doll. Blocks of wood painted to add her name. I made her two dresses one blue and one pink. I hand made all the food and printed out the food labels. The cake was a disaster but she still loved it! I made her felt characters from the movie as well as the horses and carriage then took cardboard and added glitter paper and made the backdrop to play with. I made her a box and added felt and it looked like a castle to add all of her felt characters in. I made from scratch a pumpkin shaped cheese ball and rolled it in Dorito crumbs. Place a celery stick in the top and add some crackers and yum. She was most excited about her blue punch. I found most my jars and platters at my local Goodwill. It did not cost much money to throw this party. Most my items were scarps of lace, fabric and pearls etc. Pick your colors and then go from there. I chose the birthday girls favorite colors light pinks and blues. I hand made her outfit a tutu skirt in baby blue with ribbon trim and white gloves with embroider carriage on her shirt and light blue ribbons tied on her shirt. Basic flip-flops with added tulle and ribbon and a Cinderella resin flat back glued on top. If you'd like any of my recipes or ideas from this party I'll be happy to answer anyone's questions.
