Ava's 9th Birthday Party Ideas
Ava had her 9th birthday party this month and she chose the cutest 9th birthday party theme:
Cloud 9
Well… technically I gave her the idea via Google. Good ‘ole Google always coming through for me! I gave her a couple of options but since Cloud 9 themed birthday party decor would be rainbows and clouds hanging from the ceiling (and what little girl doesn’t love rainbows!) it was an immediate YES for her!
Before I get to the cloud making and how we did it, let me show you the darling birthday party crafts that the kids were obsessed with. Like… the girls made 3-4 of each of these birthday party crafts - an absolute HIT and so good for so many ages!! Here are a couple videos showing you how we did the DIY Play Doh sensory kits and DIY bookmarks (Ava is a big reader!). And I hope those give you some great inspo for your kids’ future birthday parties.
And now for the DIY cloud decor -
I ordered a big box of polyfil and truthfully, I ordered way too much. I didn’t even use a fraction of what I bought but I had no clue what I was doing and I guess, better too much than too little!
We tried hot gluing the fluff to some foam boards but it was taking FOREVER so I was like wait, wait if I just pick up a big armful of fluff and tie some clear fishing line around it. And guess what?? It WORKED! I was shocked and it was so darn easy. It all stuck together and the clouds looked so realistic (and took only a minute to put each together). Now the hardest part was hanging them - lots and lots of packing tape because they were heavy so I’d recommend keeping your DIIY clouds on the smaller side for this reason.
Anyways, that’s how we did it! Enjoy!
