DAISY INSPIRED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY
Choosing a Meaningful Birthday Theme
In April, daisies are the flower of the month, making a daisy themed first birthday party the perfect fit.
Recyclable Party Decor
I’ve been trying to focus on mostly recyclable decorations to be more eco-friendly and not produce unnecessary waste, so I made three large paper daisies. This tutorial was fantastic for making this style of flower out of paper.
The wrapping paper was inspired by a craft for cardboard stamping found in a book, so I reused some packing paper I received and enjoyed creating.
Daisy Inspired Party Hats
I made the hats out of yellow card stock, it was so easy to just look up a printable template on the web and cut and glue them together. I used a daisy shaped hole punch and a yellow marker for colouring the centres to create the flowers I glued on to the hats. I folded up all the petals and glued down the centre for each daisy…this took much more time than I expected so I only covered the birthday girl’s hat and then just did a border around the bottom for the rest of the family’s hats. These birthday hats may be my favourite thing I’ve ever made, they’re so cute!
Daisy Themed First Birthday Smash Cake
Icing the daisy cakes without my Mom to help (I always invite her over to participate/take over) was really difficult and took me forever but my main motto when it comes to projects is, “Good enough,” and once I filled the layers with homemade lemon curd, it was absolutely good enough!
