Making paper flowers for a birthday party is a great way to decorate. Especially using crepe paper. You can also cut strips of the crepe paper and tape them together to create streamers to hang in the room. In this article we look at a few ways to decorate with paper flowers for a birthday party. About the only person these ideas would eliminate are boys. That is unless you can create a flower that looks like a fire truck or a beautiful model or movie star!
Let us start with flower ideas for a young girl. By young I mean preteen. Most young girls do not really have an appreciation for flowers yet. However this can easily be "fixed" by allowing the birthday girl to pick the flowers and colors she wants and letting her help make the flowers. It will not take long before she is making the flowers as quickly as you!
Provide her with some extras such as; beads, curly ribbon, glitter, sequins, and small foam or plastic shapes (available at any craft store.) This will show her that making flowers is not only fun but she can make the flowers anyway she wants. Depending on the age you may want to cut out the petals and leaves for her and replace the floral wire (it has sharp ends when cut and can end a flower making session quickly) with pipe cleaners. Also let her use her own imagination, if she wants pink stems so be it. She may even want pink, purple and green all twisted together. If she uses just one stem she could use multiple colored beads to make the stem more colorful.
Once the flowers are made allow her to decide how to decorate with them. Here are a few ideas:
· Centerpiece - This is easy just let her arrange the flowers in a vase or container of her choosing. Be sure to pick up a few green items just in case she wants an "authentic" look.
· Garland - Flower garland is fun and can be made with or without the stems. Use the crepe paper to make streamers (double them up if the flowers are large) and she can attach the flowers to the streamers and hang them up with help. Do not forget you can also decorate the stairway and the outside entrance where the guests will enter your home. When you hang the garland flowers use tacks to keep them in place. Tape will tear to easily and the streamers will fall down.
· Paper flowers here, there, and everywhere - That means let her decorate with the flowers where she would like. If she wants to put a single flower in front of or on the plate of everyone there that is great she likes to share! If she wants to go around the house and stick a flower or two in potted plants so be it. The whole idea is to let her decorate anyway she wants unless of course your cat does not want a flower tied around his/her head. The dog however may be more accommodating to his new flower collar!
Making paper flowers with a young girl is not only an enjoyable experience, but can be one you should have the camera ready for!
