Elmo Birthday Party Decorations - DIY : Streamer Curtains : Sesame Street Party Decorations

This is a short video on how I made my streamer curtains for my son's birthday party. It took about an hour to finish this project. And about $4 worth of streamer from the dollar store. It was definitely worth the work and of coarse my son loved to play with them afterwards.
NOTE: Children will love to run through and pull the streamer curtain. So, be prepared for some destruction!

Elmo birthday cupcake wrappers tutorial ~ 2nd Birthday ~ ELMO

I have been getting ready for my son's 2nd birthday. This year will be an Elmo themed birthday. I have been recording my decoration projects as I go.

This is the first of several projects I will be sharing on YouTube too. Lol I have learned a few things along the way and hope they can help you too in your party planning :)

First lesson learned, should use smaller circles for these cupcake wrappers. Too late but good to know for next time :)

Elmo Birthday Party Decorations - Sesame Street

Here as some pictures of our birthday party. I have to admit the hardest work was the balloons, we were up to 2 am and it took 100+ balloons! I'm lucky the streamers survived, my son loved to pull on them. Overall, it took a month of small projects here and there to get this done. I taped most of the projects for you tube so please check out my YouTube channel or older posts for videos. 

Elmo birthday up cake stand - wrapping paper trays

I wanted to have cupcakes at the part but finding a display tray was hard. And of coarse I didn't want to spend any more money. So, I used some leftover cake circles from my baking days and some cans. Voila! A cupcake tower for an elmo birthday party!!

Elmo birthday t-shirt - Sesame Street- etsy inspired project

I loved the elmo t-shirt I found on etsy. It looked so easy to make I couldn't resist making one. The patch was purchased on ebay about a month earlier, it came from China and shipping can take over a month. So, buying a patch early was crucial!!

I love the way it came out and I love that total cost was $8 :)

Elmo birthday banner - Sesame Street - tutorial

Another project for my son's birthday party was this banner. I have to admit it took less time than I imagined. I also did it all with leftover construction paper. I love the way it looks !! Easy project :)

Elmo birthday cupcake topper- Sesame Street - etsy inspired project

I designed all of these cupcake toppers using Photoshop CS2 and Publisher.

The Elmo clip art I found online and modified it on photoshop. Each design is 1.5" in circumference and is printed on sticker paper.

I did two different methods to see which one I liked best. I also used lollipop sticks instead if toothpicks because of the kids.

Overall a great way to decorate cupcakes!

Elmo Birthday Party Gift Bags Tutorial

Party gift bags are done !! Hooray !!

Just looking for some filler items to add but so far so good :)

Inside: 

Coloring book

24 crayon box

Sheet of stickers

Project was easy. I would recomend purchasing the red bags at michaels not the dollar store if you have a 40% coupon (more cost effective).

Also, Elmo's nose goes on top of the eyes... Oops!
