Cinema-Themed Father's Day Party (2020)

Hey everyone! This is coming late, but today I am sharing a Cinema Father's Day party, and this theme could really work for birthdays and other events as well as for Father's Day next year. I wanted to do a new, unique theme for Father's Day that I thought my dad would like. Movie themes have been done at least a million times before, but I've never seen a movie or cinema party theme for Father's Day so I decided to go with that. I wanted a very subtle but colorful color scheme of primary colors, so I used dark yellows, blues, and reds with kind of a vintage style. I made the poster with acrylic paint and markers. With another poster, I painted blue strips that I folded and hot-glued together to make the wheel, painted and cut out the yellow star, and painted and cut out the black video camera silhouette. made the ceramic circus-tent bowl in a ceramics class, printed the popcorn cones from this great free printable resource (I printed mine on golden-brown card-stock), and had the other supplies on hand as decor around our house or in my party stash. The decor is very simple, especially since I had to throw the party together in a morning and literally the day after I threw together the party I shared in the previous post for my cousin Riley. I hope you enjoy and find this inspiring for upcoming events for men you may be planning.

Thank you for stopping by! I look forward to sharing a belated Fourth of July party and tutorials with you soon!

DIY Lego Father's Day Gift (That Kids Can Make)

Hello! Here's another gift back from Father's Day using Dollar Tree Lego (which technically aren't Lego but some other brand, but still). I helped one of my (small) close friends make this. She did a fabulous job. This gift is super easy, and it's a great gift for children to create. I found the idea through Pinterest at this website (The Seasoned Mom). I don't have the instructions on my website since this wasn't my idea, but the link has the instructions and it's pretty self-explanatory. You just need a permanent marker, Lego, a jar, and supplies to make a label and/or tag. My label was just brown paper, pen, and tape. My tag was made with brown paper, string to attach it t the jar, and pen. You can stick a bow or label on top, too, if you'd like. The idea is that children write their favorite memories with dad onto the Lego. I hope this comes in handy for somebody when Father's Day comes around again! Actually, this could really work for any occasion. Maybe somebody could use this for Christmas or an upcoming birthday?

I've got lots to share, so visit again soon!
