Luau Party

For my Daughter's first birthday we had a luau beach party. I had a lot of fun making up the invitations and decorations. When I was taking pictures, I accidently hit the landscape button on my camera so none of my pictures came out great - Wahhhh!

I made these large wooden surfboard using the Cricut and an art projector. I used the Cricut pens and drew out the images of the surfboards. I used the projector to enlarge them and trace them on a piece of plywood. My Husband cut them out with a jigsaw. I painted the surboard area with cheap acrylic paint. I used cheap paer and cut out the turtle, letters, number, and flower layers. I used them like a stencil and painted them on the surfboard.

I love making banners, they are easy an add a lot of fun to a party.

I found some really cute fabric with turtles and ocean life in the party colors. I stiched up the sides and used it as a tablecloth. I bought flower garlands and hung them all around.

These bags are the party favors. I made pink for girls and blue for boys. I made these little Honus for each kid. I am only medicocre at sewing but these were pretty easy. I filled them with dolly pellets and a little stuffing.
