Super Mario Bros Birthday!!
This is how to make a wonderful MARIO BROS birthday party, with awesome homemade decorations! Lets begin with what the finished product looks like.
All the images and art used, we got off the Internet. A little fuzzy for my taste but we were up against a time crunch and the ended up looking very 3D'ish, which worked!
In order to get these wonderful "twirly-wind-catcher-things", look up any traditional paper lantern pattern on line, to use. In this case we doubled it, then cut down the middle of the lanterns so that we could slide them together and make the latern more 3D. In some cases I used doubled sided paper, and in others I glued two colors together, to get more of put together look.
These are the tools you will need. Double sided tape, colored paper, tape, hole punch, swivels, jewlers rings, glue dots, double sided raised dots, scissors and a computer to find and print the images you want and to look up your latern patterns.
There is a LOT of printing and cutting involved. But once the characters and the bricks and the "lanterns" are all cut out - presto, you start sticking them together with glue and glue dots (for volume) and then add the dangly-twisty things and they are ready for hanging. Enjoy!
where can i get these at?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in getting back to you. I printed them off the internet. They were clip art, printed on computer card stock and then cut out and paste together. It takes a little enginuity and vision. Good luck!
