From Home to Hollywood: Celebrate a Famous TV Character With Homemade Party Supplies

No matter what type of TV character themed party a child has, there are general homemade party supplies that can apply to all such as hats, blowouts, confetti, and party favor bags A themed party for children is a great way to celebrate their favorite TV characters with their friends and family. Sure, it's easy to buy pre-made party supplies, but it's far more fun to create your own. Homemade party supplies are very simple to make, inexpensive and a whole lot of fun.

Party Hats: Take a moment to consider your kid's favorite television character. Is it Dora The Explorer? Wow Wow Wubbzy? SpongeBob Square? Marvel Super Hero Squad? Party hats for these TV themed parties can be made from simple materials such as decorative colored paper such as yellow, blue, green, and purple, sheet of double-sided adhesive, colored vellum, white glue, and 10-inch plates.

Party blowouts: No child's party is complete without fun homemade blowouts to enjoy. Basic materials to create blowouts for the invited guests include decorative paper, double-sided adhesive, decorative tape, colored plastic straws, white glue, vellum, pencil, and scissors. And as is the case with the party hats, select blowouts that reflect the theme of the party.

Homemade Confetti: Confetti is incredibly simple to make. Choose the colors that are appropriate for the TV character themed party. While confetti alone ads to the theme party, try making confetti bombs or confetti shooters for the children For a confetti bomb the materials required are balloons, toothpick, funnel, colored construction paper (confetti) and scissors. Confetti shooters require an electric-powered machine that expels controlled gusts of air such as a blow dryer and plastic container to hold the confetti. Decorate the confetti shooterwith festive party colors with construction paper, glitter, and markers While there might not be enough confetti shooters to give to all children at the party, pass the confetti shooter around so each child has the opportunity to shoot the confetti.

Party Favor Bags:Goodie Bags: As the party winds down, give each gest a decorative party favor bag as a memento. Just make sure that extra party bags are available for extra, unexpected guests. Party favor bags require basic materials found at any arts & crafts store and include paper bags (or small boxes), decorative colored construction paper, markers, tape and scissors. The options for decorating a party favor bag are endless In each party favor bag, include a brief thank you note with the child's name on it along with the party favors.
