For my grandfather's birthday, I made this party-in-a-box gift. It was late, so I called it the 'out-of-the-blue' party in a box. He lives far away, so I thought this was the perfect gift. It was pretty light to ship, too. Below I will review everything in it so that you can make one, too!
This box included:
-Cupcake topper flags, which can be found at almost any craft store, upon which I wrote "Happy Birthday, ____!" using my grandfather's name in the blank.
- I stuck some blue balloons from Walmart in as well.
- I made a party hat by stapling scrapbook paper into a cone, trimming the edges, and hot-gluing a diamond, then an initial on top of the diamond on the middle. I made a paper pom-pom, but you could buy a pom-pom to glue on top.
- I added a bundle of blue candles from Dollar Tree.
- I cut strips of tissue paper into confetti, and used the confetti to fill
- a pinata, which you can make with numerous tutorials, such as this one.
To finish it off, I made a banner by hot-gluing paper triangles to bakers twine, and wrote "Happy Birthday" on the banner. Don't forget to add a note reading "Out-of-the-Blue Party in a Box" with a sentimental poem on the back!
I hope to share some costume tutorials soon!
