Beatles-Themed Birthday Party

 

Hello! For my brother's last birthday back in August I threw a Beatles-themed birthday party that was black and white with some pops of primary colors. The décor included vintage cameras I had on hand, a borrowed drum that I taped a printed "Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" label to, records I cut from foam and wrote on with a Jelly Roll ink pen, a borrowed guitar, printed Beatles album photo, a borrowed album, and a handwritten poster. I used strawberry candies from Dollar Tree and wrote "Strawberry Fields Forever" above them. I also bought pretzel sticks called 'Pennysticks" and labeled them "Penny Lane Pennysticks". The party hat was made from a printed Beatles picture hot-glued into a cone and attached to an elastic headband. 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed!

DIY Beatles-Themed Easter Basket

 This post is super random, but I was looking back at gifts I put together and thought that even though this is an Easter gift, the idea could easily be translated into a birthday or Christmas gift for those of you who, like me, have a huge Beatle fan in their life. I used a lot of free printables found on Google such as the Yellow Submarine on the front. In the Easter eggs, I printed out a mini Paul, Beatles activities such as crossword puzzles, and you could also include sheet music for musicians. This gift was honestly very last minute, so those printables were a life saver. A gift saver, I suppose is more accurate. I added a decorate-your-own-mug kit (Michaels sells them), cookies that I repackaged to look fancier, and a handmade card. The card said "You can't Beatle that Jesus has done for you. Happy Easter!" or something along those lines. If you didn't get that, you are not alone, but I tried. 

I hope you found this simple gift idea useful. Thanks for stopping by!
