Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Party - 4th bday party

Our daughter wanted a Mickey Mouse theme birthday last year. I didn't have my cricut then but we did a lot of the decorations ourselves. Here are a few things that we did.

My Mom made the cake...

I made the headbands you see on the girls heads. They are made from plain white plastic headbands I got from ACMoore (2/$1.00). Then I took the sturdy felt and cut the ears out. I made a sleeve for the headband out of fabric felt and then hand sewn on the ears. They were a big hit.

Since we had the party at the park we had to make the shelter stand out (not really but we did anyway LOL). Here is a close up of wooden characters that we painted. We projected each character onto a piece of wood. Then cut them out, painted them, put a clear coat on top, then finally mounted to a stake so that we could hammer them into the ground. We tried to get each kids' picture with the characters.

Here is the view of the shelter from a distance. I guess we did stand out. LOL

July 4th Door Decoration

I didn't have anything Patriotic for the 4th of July so I decided to make something. I had the container that I have been using for a while now but I repurposed it for this.

I haven't gotten the Stand and Salute cartridge yet so I had to improvise. I used the fireworks from Happily Ever After (Mulan) and stars from George. It is had to see but I used glitter paper for the the fireworks and card stock for the stars. I had 2 small flags lying around so I added them to it.
