My youngest baby is going to be the big 2! We were going to have a farm themed party, but my husband didn’t seem too excited about it, so we agreed on a Pirate Party!
Today we started the preparations and crafting. I’ve already made some purchases and I can’t wait to share what I have so far! One month to go until party day.
My mom told me about some Pirate hats she saw in the Dollar Tree, so we headed over to see what they had. I got some GREAT deals! For $1 I was able to get a hat, hook, and eye patch!
I also found a party game, goodie bags, ‘treasure’, and pirate blowouts. For $1!!! Thanks MOM!
Today I made some trays out of Goodwill finds and bandanas from red fabric.
For the trays, I bought a few gaudy gold candlesticks and serving plates. The ones I usually pass without thinking twice. This time when I saw them – a light bulb went off! The only other supply I needed was glue – and wah-lah!
Now they are ready! I wouldn’t recommend serving food directly off of the plates though – so I am going to line mine with a piece of gold paper cut into a circle.
As for the pirate bandanas, I looked at purchasing some, but then when I priced out making my own it was going to be less than half the price! (I’m all about saving a dollar these days!)
I bought 2 yards of red fabric and cut them using my rotary cutting tool. I used my husband’s bandana to get the size right.
Then we had to try it on for size!
Stop by tomorrow – I’m going to be featuring a Pirate Party by Lizard & Ladybug!
