Fit For Royalty



It's amazing what you can get with a small budget and a little imagination :-)
For my daughters 1st Birthday, we had a Princess theme Party but these ideas can also be used for a boys Prince Charming Theme or Medieval Castle Theme.

Have fun turning your living room into a castle with these ideas.

Wall with exposed bricks

1. On a regular printing paper we drew and colored some bricks in three different layouts.

2. Then we made about 10 color copies of each sheet

3. Next we cut them out
4. Finally, with double-sided tape put them up in random spots on your wall
Textured walls: An office stapler is ideal because of the small staples won't leave noticeable marks on your wall, and it wasn't to difficult to pull down after the party.


Castle Flag Banners
1. Using a disposable table cloth cut out your preferred banner size.
2. Fold in half
3. On the closed side cut out a right angle to create the two tails.
4. Next, tape your logo to the center or draw one
5. Finally, use some of your left over streamers to create a border. Tape on with double-sided tape.


Make your own Castle
1. Find the biggest piece of cardboard you can find (Furniture stores are usually good)
2. It's up to your budget but flat paint is good enough to use. Get a Roller for painting for comfort with extension and paint the cardboard a base coat with the most affordable gallon of paint you can find.
3. After it's dry, with a pencil (ink leaks through paint) to serve as guides, sketch out the Basics first: Windows, Draw Bridge, Folds and Parts to be cut.
4. Fold the cardboard into its castle shape
5. Paint the details on the castle
6. and finally when paint is dry use a blade and a exacto-knife to cut-out all the parts that need to be cut.
