I have transferred this post from my old blog to my official site.
I'll admit that this took months to assemble. However, we did have our new daughter arrive back in July so that has a huge factor for everything taking 3 times as long as it should have.
Wonderland Scene
Supplies:
1. Plywood
2. Poster Board
3. Jig Saw
5. Paintbrushes
6. Hot Glue
7. Hand Made Wood Flowers that I found at Target
8. 24" Black Light Fixture
(We purchased 2 of these)
While I personally have no talent in the drawing department, my daughter does, so she drew templates on the poster board. My father-in-law cut the pieces out with the jig saw, but honestly I would have been able to do it if I needed to. Then just paint the boards. I made the mistake of getting the little bottles of acrylic paint from Michael's and ended up needing 4 sets of 6 to paint everything. It would have been a lot less expensive if I'd just bought the 1 pint set I included the link for. Finally, I just hot glued the pieces together in order to really create the 3D effect you see there.
Nightmare Before Christmas Candle Holders
Oogie was a gift from my daughters. They know how much I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it worked out perfectly for the party theme.
Supplies:
1. Glass Mason Jar - I just saved the Bertolli jars when I made chicken alfredo.
2. Textured silver paint
Just clean and spray paint the outside of the jars. I used Modge Podge to attach the labels I printed, but regular glue would work just fine too I'm sure.
Photo Corner
Supplies:
1. Halloween Fabric purchased from Hobby Lobby as a background
2. Dollar Store Toys for Dress Up
3. Selfie Stick
This was super easy with all the kids having cell phones these day, but they had a blast with it.
Drink Station
Supplies:
We ordered the black light responsive party-ware from Amazon.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Candy Table
My mother is a Goodwill junkie, so she had all the apothecary glassware already from her various "treasure hunts." We're lucky enough that Albanese Candy Factory is only about a half hour from our house, so I was able to get classic confectionery candies.
Upelkuchen Cakes
This was mine... Yes, sad I know.
These are my sisters... I learned the secret to making cake pops is to crumble them and add in a couple spoonfuls of icing before shaping them.
