Air balloons

Multi-colored balls are a universal solution that looks advantageous, but does not hurt your wallet. To decorate the ceiling, use helium balloons, and the more of them, the better.

Balloons create a festive atmosphere, and they can also be used to decorate gifts and surprises

The walls can be decorated with ordinary balls, creating interesting compositions from them. Not everyone can make arches, animal figurines, and magic castles out of balloons, so if you doubt your own abilities, you can place an order with a company that specializes in holiday decor.

You can also decorate the dining area with balloons. To do this, simply tie them to the chairs, thereby drawing additional attention to the chic dining table.

Cardboard figures on a stand

If you also have artistic abilities, cut out human (child) size figures , paint them, and place them vertically. Make sure that the structure is as stable as possible (see photo).

If you have problems with drawing, there is another way out - interior design stores have a large selection of self-adhesive pictures of cartoon characters that are easily attached to cardboard. Then all that remains is to cut along the contour and install. Such decorations look great.

In principle, you don’t have to cut anything. Special stickers for decoration only spoil paper wallpaper. They peel off from all other surfaces without consequences. Decorate cabinets, doors, mirrors and windows.

They can be found on sale under the name “wall stickers.” Just read in the product description what size they are (they range from 20 cm to 60 cm):

DIY wall decor

To make a child's birthday special, you don't have to buy everything from the shelves of a holiday decor store. Decorating a room for a birthday with your own hands is actually easier than ever.

Paper flowers are suitable for decorating a girl's holiday.

Owls are a must at a Harry Potter themed birthday party.

Any holiday begins with an invitation. Already at this stage you can focus on the theme of the celebration. Write them on paper artificially aged using tea leaves, glue the envelope with plasticine and put a seal on it that looks like the Hogwarts coat of arms. It is not necessary to send a letter with an owl; you can use more traditional methods.

Special paper with aged effects is perfect for invitations.

It will be great if you also become a stylist for your guests. Put round glasses on the birthday boy and draw a lightning bolt on his forehead. Give all invitees robes, hats and magic wands made from ordinary plastic pointers.

Foil inflatable figures

Inflatable toys that you have saved from your summer vacation at sea may not wait in your suitcase next summer. Inflate sharks and dolphins, small pools (they can be filled with small inflatable balls without strings).

There are a huge number of inflatable animals and people that you can’t swim on - they’re just big toys (balls). They cost much less than swimming devices, so it makes sense to look for them for such a case. Their size is from 50 to 100 cm.

I hope you now have enough ideas to decorate your own children's party! Let everything work out perfectly!

Dishes

Bright dishes can play a major role in the table decor ensemble. If you are planning to spend a holiday outdoors, take colorful plastic or cardboard disposable tableware, colorful forks and spoons for a picnic. An indoor celebration will not tolerate such proximity, so for a sweet table at an event it is better to use glass cutlery with images of your favorite characters.

Drinks poured into glasses will look inconspicuous without straws and decorative umbrellas. You can use pieces of fruit, strawberries, plastic or silicone holders with funny animals. Simple glass glasses can be wrapped with satin ribbons, bows and butterflies made of beads or beads can be glued on.

There are a lot of ideas for designing napkins, the most popular option is to cut out animals or fish from them or make origami.
