LEGO Balloon Tutorial

by

LEGO’s are Awesome. Everything is awesome with these LEGO Balloons! When we work together everything is awesome! Have your kiddos help you fill up the balloons and tie them off so you can get them ready to be drawn on.

What you Need:

– Yellow Balloons

– Black Sharpie

How to Make:

1. First air up your yellow balloons. Make sure to tie tightly. As I am working on them I like to place them in a huge trash bag so I can keep track of them better and know which balloons I have already drawn on.

2. Take your sharpie marker and start drawing your pattern on the balloon. You can either draw the generic LEGO face or you can draw on the faces from the LEGO Movie.

That is it! You are done!

For more fun and excitement  you can use the black balloons and use whiteout or marker to draw on the Batman face. I love adding custom made decorations like these that are very simple to make and gives any party more dimension.

Super Bowl Food Stadium

by

DIY Super Bowl Food Stadiums are very popular so I decided to make my own. I had some extra time and a few dollars and here is my stadium I created in a couple of hours.

I only purchased the green, red and gold tablecloths. Actually I already had the red and gold but if I did purchase them including the small plastic bowls I spent about $5 tops. I already had the snacks since I was planning my festivities already.

Super Bowl Food Stadium

I used boxes from food we already had. I end up using the saltine cracker boxes to make my side stands. Each box made 2. I used 4 boxes. I then used the project poster boards from Dollar Tree that I had on hand to make my smaller sides.

I then covered the one side in gold for the 49ers and the other side red for the Chiefs. I then used a cookie sheet and covered it with green but I still end up putting my dip on the cookie sheet to look like a field.

The food items that where messy I used tin foil to keep the box from getting soaked.

I used the clear packaging tape from Dollar Tree. I always have one or two or three on hand as I like their packaging tape for the creations I make.

That is it! Tell me how I did for my Super Bowl Food Stadium? Who did you want to win in the 58th Super Bowl?

What you Need:

  • Circle Lantern
  • Tape
  • Glue
  • White Tissue Paper
  • Bungee Cord

How to Make Shaun the Sheep:

Step 1

Get your supplies together. You will first start with the circle lantern and white tissue paper. First start with the white tissue paper crumpling it up and putting it in the lantern covering the bottom opening first. Then start stuffing the white tissue paper in. I used an entire pack of white tissue paper from Dollar Tree. The circle lantern can be purchased at Dollar Tree as well but I got mine at Goodwill for a quarter.

Step 2

Tie your bungee cord to the metal of the lantern and secure it tightly.

Step 3

Cover the circle lantern with white tissue paper and tape down. I used packing tape to tape it down.

Step 4

Cut the remainder of the white tissue paper into 3 x 3 inch squares. Use your index finger and place in the center of the paper on the end use liquid glue or glue stick and stick on the circle lantern and cover the entire pinata.

Step 5

While you wait for the glue to dry you will then need to cut out Shaun the Sheep Shape. This can be used for both invitations as well as the face for the pinata. You can purchase the SVG, PDF and PNG file to use on a cutting machine. The Shaun the Sheep Shape is available in the Party Store.

Step 6

Glue your Shaun the Sheep Face onto the pinata.

Step 7

Create legs and glue them on the sides of the pinata. Make sure to fill your pinata with candies and goodies and then cover it up securely.

That is it! You are done!

Batman LEGO Pinata Tutorial

by

Are you throwing a Batman-themed party and looking for a fun DIY activity that your guests will love? Why not make a Batman LEGO character pinata! This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a pinata that looks just like the Dark Knight himself.

Materials:

  • Large round balloon
  • Newspaper strips
  • Flour
  • Water
  • Masking tape
  • Scissors
  • Black, yellow, and gray tissue paper
  • Glue stick
  • Black construction paper
  • White chalk or pencil
  • String or ribbon
  • Candy or small toys to fill the pinata

Step 1: Inflate the balloon and secure it in a vertical position using masking tape. Mix equal parts flour and water to create a paper mache paste.

Step 2: Dip newspaper strips into the paste and apply them to the balloon, covering the entire surface. Leave a small hole at the top for filling the pinata later. Repeat this step until you have several layers of paper mache.

Step 3: Allow the paper mache to dry completely. This may take a few days, so be patient.

Step 4: Once the paper mache is dry, use scissors to cut a small hole near the top of the balloon. Reach inside and pop the balloon. Remove the deflated balloon from inside the pinata.

Step 5: Using a glue stick, attach black tissue paper to cover the entire pinata. This will serve as the base for the Batman LEGO character.

Step 6: Cut out yellow and gray tissue paper into squares and rectangles to create the iconic Batman logo on the chest. Use a glue stick to attach the pieces to the black tissue paper.

Step 7: Cut out a bat symbol from black construction paper. Use white chalk or a pencil to draw the details of the symbol onto the construction paper. Attach the bat symbol to the chest using a glue stick.

Step 8: Use string or ribbon to create a loop at the top of the pinata for hanging.

Step 9: Fill the pinata with candy or small toys through the hole at the top.

Step 10: Cover the hole with a small piece of black tissue paper and secure it with masking tape.

Your Batman LEGO character pinata is now ready to be hung and smashed! Your guests will love the unique and personalized touch that this DIY pinata adds to your Batman-themed party.
