How to create a festive atmosphere
The magic of the holiday will be felt by a special atmosphere that can be created by adhering to several principles:
- approval of a single style of the party, according to which the room will be decorated, guests will prepare costumes, games and competitions will be invented;
- determining the scale of the holiday: how many guests there will be and where it is more convenient to accommodate them, at home or in a cafe;
There are a large number of options for how to decorate a room with your own hands for a birthday: with balloons, festive posters and various origami.
- decorating the room according to the general style of the holiday: balls, candles, garlands, lanterns, tinsel;
- wrapping gifts (not only for the birthday boy, but also for guests) in colorful paper;
- preparing a script, with obligatory breaks for food, dancing and competitions;
- organization of musical accompaniment that will give the holiday a unique atmosphere.
Creating a festive atmosphere is determined by the smallest details that need to be carefully organized and thought through to the smallest detail.
Birthday: classic professionalism or independence of originality
Keeping the mood at its peak throughout his birthday is the true task for family, loved ones and friends. Eating cake with your family or going to a party with friends is only half the battle. And the whole thing is to enjoy the care, love and good energy of your loved ones from dawn to sunset! That’s why decorating a room is not the last thing on your family’s “to-do” list.
Of course, you can invite professionals to organize celebrations. And there is no doubt that they will make the room for a 1-year-old daughter or beloved nephew impressive and... standard. Why? Yes, because experienced craftsmen have the same things in their arsenal, and besides, they don’t know your baby, teenage daughter, or loved one the way you do. Therefore, if you want bulky “bundles” of balloons in the right place and out of place, clearly horizontally hung streamers, paper caps and pipes, contact any decent agency for organizing holidays in your city.
And if you want a real holiday for your loved one, do it all yourself, inviting your friends and family. Decorating a room like this for a birthday will have undeniable advantages over a “custom” one.
This:
- good energy, positive attitude, welcoming mood. These “things” are invisible, you can’t touch/smell them, but feeling them is as easy as shelling pears. And all because you will be decorating with all your heart, soul, filled with good emotions and wishes;
- a special “slope” of decoration. Whether it will be inscriptions, cartoons or cute photos, branch compositions or garlands of balloons is up to you. And let the birthday boy recognize in every decorative element the “hand and handwriting” of his godmother and grandmother, uncle and best friend;
- love in every little thing. When decorating the room of the hero of the occasion on his birthday, you can choose those colors and shades, materials and elements, take into account the subtleties that he loves and that he would pay attention to. Nothing can overshadow a celebration of any level and scale!
Decoration with balls
It’s hard to imagine a holiday without balloons; if previously they were simply presented to the birthday person as a gift, today they can decorate a room in a variety of ways:
- Table decoration: using small boxes with weights, which can be placed near each guest’s plate and balloons inflated with helium can be tied to them.
- Make large figures in the form of cartoon characters, funny characters and just baskets with flowers from balloons. The process is not at all complicated, and such a figure will delight you for a single week.
- You can make numbers from the balloons (of the denomination of how old the birthday boy is).
- To decorate a large room, they create panels and arches that have a strong frame underneath them; they look especially good at celebrating an anniversary.
- You can order balloons with photo printing from a special agency, depicting the birthday person or memorable dates on them.
- A great idea would be to fill a huge balloon with hundreds of small ones, each of which can be filled with a surprise: at the height of the celebration, the large balloon bursts and the guests are showered with a heap of balloons and gifts.
- After inflating the balloons with helium, you can tie them to a heavy base (for example, small soft toys) and place them around the perimeter of the room.
- To surprise your guests, you can inflate a lot of balloons of different sizes and place them under the ceiling, first stretching a fabric hammock. At the climax, the hammock is removed and a rain of balloons covers the guests.
- Helium balloons look very elegant; they cover the entire ceiling; the ribbons from them can be wrapped like a serpentine and left hanging down.
- An excellent option for a holiday in the evening would be to decorate the room with balls that glow due to the diodes inside them.
Balloons
Inflatable balloons are an important holiday attribute
What's a holiday without balloons? Colorful products by definition create an atmosphere of fun. The main thing here is not to overdo it, everything should be in moderation.
Let's look at exactly how you can decorate a room with balloons.
- Point the balloons at the sky. It will be interesting for children to come up and pull them by the thread.
- You can order one balloon in the shape of a number indicating the child's age. In addition, you can use several balls to create the number one yourself.
- Alternatively, scatter colorful balls all over the floor. If a large number of guests are expected to be in this room, then it is better to select a corner for inflatable balls or place them under the wall. This will not prevent the child from having fun and at the same time the balls will not be under the feet of the guests.
- Another great option is to create a special garland of colorful balloons. It is advisable to use no more than three colors to create it. It will be better if it is not too colorful.
Decoration with flowers
When deciding how to decorate a room with your own hands for any occasion, including a birthday, do not forget about flowers. A universal room decoration for a girl’s celebration is rose petals, which can be used to litter all available space.
In addition, a large flat dish looks great in the center of the festive table, which is filled with fresh flowers to match the overall atmosphere of the holiday. Ordinary vases of different sizes, standing on the floor or along the walls, will give the room freshness and fill it with a floral aroma.
Gifts for guests
The birthday will become even more interesting if the child guests of the birthday boy receive small gifts at the party. You can put a few chocolates, miniature cakes in sweet surprise boxes, or give each guest a small soft toy.
You can give girls beautiful hair clips, and boys - flashlights. If your child already knows how to make crafts with his own hands, he can come up with and prepare souvenirs with your help or on his own. It's a good idea to give room decorations, such as balloons, to your guests. This can be done at the end of the holiday, when saying goodbye to the guests. A small souvenir will definitely extend the feeling of celebration to all participants in a children's birthday party. You can send photos from the children's party to everyone who visited you, because it is not difficult to do, and everyone will have the best impressions.
Joint preparation and decoration of the holiday can become a good family tradition. Let all relatives participate - after all, joint work brings people closer together. Use your imagination, take a good mood with you, involve the children themselves - the heroes of the occasion - and you will definitely succeed!
How to decorate walls with corrugated paper?
Paper allows you to create a lot of beautiful decorations for decorating a festive room. Its corrugated variety gives even more room for imagination.
Pompoms made from corrugated paper can be made like this:
- fold 4 to 8 sheets of colored paper into an accordion;
- pull the center of the sheet with thread;
- round the edges of the resulting accordion using scissors, and then straighten each sheet;
- give the entire pompom a ball shape, and after making a few more of these, you can assemble them into a garland and decorate the room.
Checkboxes:
- cut out rectangles from multi-colored paper;
- bend each one in half and place them on a strong thread;
- secure the flags with glue or tape.
Hearts:
- cut out hearts;
- attach one to the other, bend the top in half;
- connect all the elements with a thread and stretch them under the ceiling.
Flowers:
- cut out silhouettes of different flowers from corrugated paper;
- overlay one silhouette with several others (of the same flower);
- bend the top elements in the middle and carefully straighten the paper.
Decoration with balloons
First of all, do not forget about such a wonderful symbol of joy and fun as a balloon. Each of us associates a balloon with childhood, going to the circus or amusement park, with happy holidays, clowns and other equally joyful events in life.
You can create an amazingly beautiful panel of balloons on the wall or ceiling, combine clusters of balloons into luxurious bouquets or form outlandish compositions. Decorative satin ribbons or cut out corrugated paper ribbons can be an excellent addition to balloons.
Balloons that are randomly scattered on the floor throughout the room look festive and original. Young children especially like this decoration. You can attach the best children's photographs of the birthday boy to balloons inflated with helium and decorate the room with them.
The news portal “Vtemu.by” would like to share with you a little trick. After a holiday or birthday party, you will definitely start cleaning, which means you will have to get rid of the balloons. So, do not rush to throw away deflated or burst balloons, because even from such garbage you can make an amazingly beautiful piece of furniture, like a decorative wreath on a door or a bright garland.
Show all your imagination, and you will definitely get a bright and unforgettable holiday interior.
Wishing tree
A tree of wishes is a congratulation on a large sheet of paper, designed in the shape of a tree. This design option will not only decorate the wall of the room on your birthday, but will also remain a long-lasting memory for the birthday person.
You can make a wish tree like this:
- prepare an A3 sheet (it is important that it has a dense texture);
- select a tree template and trace it on a sheet of paper using a marker;
- on the top of the sheet, write in beautiful letters and colorfully design the phrase: “Happy Birthday!”;
- On the branches of the tree you can glue leaves of colored paper of the same size, on which visiting guests will leave their wishes for the birthday boy.
Table setting, flowers and candles
Cardboard dishes and disposable tablecloths for table setting are more often used at children's parties, so stores offer entire collections with their favorite characters.
The table itself can become a room decoration for an adult’s birthday, especially if you place not only beautiful dishes, but also several low flower arrangements in the center of the table or small glasses with single buds personally for each guest.
Extremely simple and always effective.
Posters with congratulations
The poster allows you to include in its space everything that is not included in the wish tree: funny photos of the birthday boy, stages of his growing up, interesting collages and more.
Making a poster is very simple; for this you will need a sheet of whatman paper, paints and felt-tip pens:
- you need to start with a catchy phrase that will occupy the central part of the sheet;
- the background should be bright, but not too bright so that the inscriptions are visible;
- Congratulations can be written directly on whatman paper or prepare small postcards in advance and stick them on its surface;
- The poster can be decorated with especially successful photographs of the birthday boy and his family.
Large homemade “lollipops”
All children love sweets, so the idea of decorating the room with giant candies, even if not real ones, will definitely be appreciated by them.
It’s not difficult to make such a “lollipop”:
- paint long plywood sticks (about 50-60 cm) white;
- cut a circle with a diameter of 30-35 cm from foam plastic and wrap it in colored paper;
- Having greased the stick with glue, stick it into the foam;
- cut a sheet of polyethylene larger than a ball;
- cover the ball with plastic and tie it at the base of the stick, tying it with colored ribbon.
DIY balloon birthday decoration
Make Smesharikov.
To make this Krosh, take:
- five small balls for the tail and paws;
- ball for the body;
- two long ear balls;
- glue Moment;
- pump;
- self-adhesive paper.
First, inflate the torso so that it is round. Then inflate long modeling balloons for the ears and small round ones for the paws. Balls for modeling need to be rolled in the same way as in the following photo. Then they will have the desired shape and texture.
Glue them to the top of a large ball that will become the body. Then glue the paws. This is the birthday balloon decoration we got. All that remains is to attach self-adhesive paper here, which will become the features of a funny face.
Kopatych will also certainly amuse the children. To create it, take brown balls.
Inflate them. Glue small ones in the form of ears to the large ball, and the slightly larger ones will become the front and hind legs. Then make a hat for that character. To create it, you need to take three elongated modeling balloons, inflate them and glue them according to their height so that the smallest one is at the top.
Also use self-adhesive paper to add facial features to this character. You can draw smaller ones with a marker by hand. Give this figurine flowers from balloons and you can decorate the place of celebration with it.
In the same way, other Smeshariki from balls are created. You will make a hedgehog out of them. And to do this you will need to take small ones, inflate them and glue them with the pointed edge up onto a large ball. Then use self-adhesive paper to make glasses for this character.
When you think about how to decorate your child’s birthday party with your own hands, you can create a whole composition in the style of Mickey Mouse out of balloons.
Create colorful trees and garlands from these elements. Since this corner is decorated mainly in white and red, place objects of this color here as well, these could be small benches, a bicycle, a cage, a swing, or tables. Take a photo of the child in advance, apply makeup on him so that the image looks like Mickey Mouse.
You can order or print various celebration attributes yourself, and also make masks for guests.
Garland fan
A garland, especially its unusual fan-shaped variety, will help create a festive mood.
You can make it with your own hands from scrap materials:
- prepare standard sheets of colored paper (A4 format);
- fold them like an accordion, in increments of 2 cm;
- bend the resulting strip in half;
- Glue the inner parts of the strip together using glue;
- now you need to go through all the steps with other sheets and glue them together (with their legs together);
- Finally, make loops around the edges of the garland to hang it on the wall.
For parents who prefer comprehensive solutions
Animators
The simplest option is to call an animator with a ready-made set of bendable balls, from which he will assemble dogs and flowers. This is a festive program, decoration, and surprise in one bottle.
They can decorate the room with light, portable, ready-made decorations and take them with them after the holiday.
Table
Decorating a children's room for a birthday is impossible without a festively decorated table.
Buy a ready-made set of disposable napkins, cups, plates, tablecloths, cards, head caps and a small paper carousel with animals in the same color scheme, and your princess will be enchanted, and you will have time for beautiful photos and videos. Several sets of healthy, age-appropriate treats will make the buffet much more interesting for other children and their parents.
For example, you can arrange cookies and pieces of previously tasted fruit.
And for older children there is complete freedom here; a bowl of multi-colored sweets, filled waffle rolls, and small pieces of pie are allowed here.
The biggest advantage of this design: after the holiday, you can safely collect everything and throw it away without regret, without washing the dishes.
Children's swimming pool
Another interesting option for decorating a nursery. It is quite possible to rent an inflatable pool with plastic balls for one day.
Calculate the size based on the total number of children invited and their age. For example, a one-meter pool with one package of balls will be enough for one one-year-old child.
We recommend wiping them with antibacterial wipes in advance to be sure that the design is safe for a child who tries to bite and lick everything.
Older children no longer need these tricks, and you can take a pool 2/3 of their height, entirely filled with balls, so that they can dive into them together.
Security questions
- Designers love to decorate birthdays with candles, and we recommend paying tribute to tradition in the form of one candle in the form of a number on the cake, it is much easier to trace the source of the fire.
- If there are inedible figures on the cake, they should be removed immediately after the photo shoot to allow the children to enjoy the dessert in peace.
- If the garland or flags are attached to carnations or any other sharp objects, hang it high, out of the reach of children.
- If your furniture has a lot of sharp corners, cover it with blankets or special children's rounded caps.
- Even older children should be checked every half hour; children's imagination is immeasurable. There were cases when children hid pieces of a treasure map in their ears after a story task, and a doctor who had already been invited pulled them out.
We are sure that these tips will help you create a pleasant and relaxed holiday atmosphere on such an important day - your child’s birthday.
Choose your favorite option or several, plan all the moments of decorating the nursery and the little birthday girl will surely remember the holiday not only with gifts.
Garlands without glue
Even a schoolchild can create a garland without using glue, and in beauty they are not inferior to those made in the traditional way:
- Cut a standard A4 sheet into 4 equal parts.
- Each part needs to be folded in half, then doubled again.
- Using a pencil, draw a specific shape on each part.
- Cut out the shape and unfold it.
- Connect all parts of the garland (it is better to alternate colors) with each other, putting them together.
- Now the garland can be hung both on the wall and in the doorway.
How to make birthday decorations from paper?
Basically, such decorations use objects made of this material, as well as balls. Make various three-dimensional paper decorations. It can be:
- honeycomb balls;
- pompom tassels;
- volumetric stars;
- paper pompoms.
Watch a master class with step-by-step photos that will teach you how to make such jewelry.
If you have quiet paper, use it. This would make wonderful birthday decorations. With your own hands, you will take the sheets and stack them with each other. The more of these blanks there are, the more magnificent the final product will be. But it is more difficult to work with a large number of sheets than with a small one.
Fold the prepared pieces in half, then start rolling them as if you were making a fan.
Then determine where the middle of such a workpiece is and tie it with ribbon. Trim the edges semicircular on one side and the other, then begin to release all the layers.
Release half on one side and half on the other. But for now, leave a few more unstraightened petals in the center. When your paper ball is thick enough on both sides, then you will open the sides.
This paper ball consists of 16 layers. Look how wonderful it turned out.
See what other birthday decorations can be. You will also create them with your own hands from a paper base. To do this, use regular muffin tins. You will need several of them.
Take the first one, lay it out on a flat surface and lightly press it down with your hand. In this case, the mold must be turned upside down. Thus, straighten all these blanks.
Now fold each one in half and in half again. Start connecting the molds, to do this you need to fasten them in the center. You can use special metal fasteners, do this with a thread and a needle.
You can decorate a table with these paper hemispheres or hang them on the walls.
If you made pom-poms from paper and have scraps left over, use them to create these interesting tassels. You will secure those on a rope, hanging them in the form of a garland.
To do this, take a thin strip, fold it in half and cut it on one side like a noodle.
Then straighten this workpiece so that the cut ends are on both sides. After this, bend it in half lengthwise and fold it in half again, but this time along the length.
On one side, leave the middle free, so that you can then rewind the thread just below it. You will have a loop by which you can hang your creation.
Paper pompoms can also be sharp-angled. To do this, you need to take a sheet of corrugated paper or paper, fold it in half and start folding the edge like an accordion. Tie it in the middle with thread.
Then cut in a zigzag pattern on both sides, after which you need to start straightening out the complex part in advance. First, do this on one side, marking the resulting petals.
Gradually straighten the petals to create voluminous pompoms. When you're done with one side, move on to the other. You will get such wonderful fluffy balls.
They will help you create birthday decorations. With your own hands, you can then make hanging decorations from these blanks. To do this, pull a strong thread or string at the top and tie the created pompoms here. You can also attach cardboard circles to this thread.
Hang a garland nearby and place inflated balloons nearby. These elements will also help decorate your birthday.
If you wish, fix these blanks on the wall and hang a garland nearby. To do this, you need to cut out triangles from white cardboard, write the letter of the child’s name on each, and glue them to the thread.
Hang this garland next to these decorative elements. Even muffin tins or disposable plates can be used. You will paint them in the desired color and attach them next to the paper pompoms.
And those can be turned into lush tree crowns. To make the trunks, you will cut them out of cardboard and paint them. And glue it with double-sided tape under the pom-poms attached to the wall.
When thinking about how to decorate your child’s birthday, don’t forget about balloons, because they are an integral attribute of any children’s party. Create a surprise balloon for your child. Such an item will decorate the place of celebration all day, and then you will help the child puncture the main ball so that many small ones fall out of it. You can also put various tinsel here so that it begins to float beautifully at the special moment.
To create such an attribute, you will need:
- main big ball;
- many small rubber balls;
- a plastic cup or Pringles box;
- hand pump;
- vacuum cleaner;
- ribbons.
Making master class:
- First you need to inflate a large balloon. When its walls stretch, they become more elastic. This is most conveniently done with a vacuum cleaner, attaching here the part from which the air is blown out.
- Then take a plastic or large plastic cup and cut off the bottom, you can also use a cardboard sleeve from Pringles. It is cut in half and the bottom is removed from one part. Then you will have 2 auxiliary blanks.
- They will help inflate balloons of the same size. Two can do this. Inflate in the usual way, but it is easier to do this using a special hand pump for balloons. Tie each item with a ribbon.
- Now place three balls on the bottom, slightly inflate the ball and insert a pre-prepared cup without a bottom or a Pringles blank into the neck of this large ball.
- Place the next inflated balloon here, place another one on top of it and push the top one through the bottom one.
- Then take another ball and insert the one in the cardboard or plastic blank in the same way.
- Look, maybe it’s time to inflate the big balloon a little more. Do it.
Now put a few more balloons inside in the same way, and inflate the main balloon again. Fill it in this way and on top, then tie it with a ribbon. They must be long enough to hang this creation.
When you fill a large ball, you can also put confetti, cut glitter or other light elements inside. When you and your child burst the balloon, they will also fly out beautifully.
But for very young children or for those who are afraid of the sound of popping balloons, this idea is not suitable. For these kids, it is better to leave the balls untouched or make them their favorite characters.

3D stars
DIY stars will help create an atmosphere of mystery for your birthday; they will not only help decorate the room like in a fairy tale, but will also be an excellent addition to the interior.
A volumetric star is prepared like this:
- find a star template on the Internet and transfer it to paper (you need to draw several diagrams, each next one is slightly larger than the previous one);
- cut the templates and bend them in the right places;
- after gluing all the parts, you get a three-dimensional star with 5 tips.
By the hands of a master
You can decorate a boy’s room for his 1st birthday by inviting professionals from the entertainment sector.
There are some interesting scenarios here too:
- You can hire a team that will bring a carload of balloons and inflate them using a powerful gas cylinder, and turn the baby’s room into a kind of Fort Boyard.
- You can cover all the walls with special large vinyl stickers, which will turn the nursery into something completely different - a spaceship, a prehistoric cave with a mammoth, or Aristotle’s elk house with a Tuktuk woodpecker.
- You can rent a cart with a cotton candy machine, hire a cotton candy collector, and start photographing happy children yourself. But this option is more suitable for decorating a room for the birthday of a 4 or 5 year old boy, since few people give kids a lot of sugar. And the cart itself will become both an entourage decoration and a fun attraction.
Huge pom-pom balls
Balls in the form of pompoms will help you create an original three-dimensional installation that will adequately decorate a room on a child’s birthday.
You can do them like this:
- fold a sheet of thin cardboard in half;
- on one side of the sheet draw a semicircle and cut it out;
- cut the resulting circle in half;
- fold the corrugated paper into a stack and draw a circle on it according to the template;
- on another sheet of cardboard, draw stripes arranged vertically (half of them will be one color, half another);
- alternately glue corrugated paper to the strips;
- Glue cardboard onto the last sheet;
- pass a thread through the ball using a needle and tighten it with a loop on which you can hang the ball;
- Carefully move the cardboard pieces apart and glue them together.
Fairy lights
Garlands are a great way to create your own decor for a children's birthday party. These products can be made from anything: from yarn and threads, from fabric, from colored paper and cardboard, from small toys, from flowers, and simply from anything that your imagination suggests.
Paper garlands are cut out in the form of flags, hearts, stars, flowers, and animal silhouettes. An interesting design can be made from corrugated paper: details in the form of fans, bows, and flowers are cut out of it. Unnecessary scraps of fabric are quite suitable for textile garlands: they will make tassels, ribbons, bows, and round scraps stuffed with filler and sewn together will make rag snowballs.
The yarn is perfect for creating fluffy multi-colored pompoms. Garlands in the form of paper and fabric ribbons decorating the ceiling or walls look great. They can completely transform a room and change its color scheme.
Origami garlands will fit wonderfully into your holiday decor. An ordinary hanger is perfect as a pendant, to which you tie ropes with birds or flowers.
In addition to homemade products, you can decorate the room with garlands with congratulatory slogans. Birthday decor may well combine handmade decorations and store-bought decorations.
Large paper flowers
To make such a decoration you will need thick textured colored paper (whatman paper or cardboard).
In order for the flowers to turn out very bright, you need to make the petals multi-colored.
The flower is created like this:
- cut out 5 small petals of one color and 5 larger ones of another color;
- arrange the petals in the shape of a flower so that the smallest ones are on top;
- fold the lower part of the petals into a boat shape and secure with a stapler;
- This is how you need to design each pair of petals, after which you need to fasten them together.
Paper flowers can be of different sizes; they can be used to beautifully decorate both the table surface and the curtains on the window.
Ready-made paper decorations
I witnessed how a fairly large hall was transformed in 40 minutes thanks to huge paper honeycomb balls and accordion balls. They are stored folded, but take the shape of a ball in a couple of seconds. For amateur decorators - the best option.
A little more difficult with pompoms. They resemble huge clouds (from 15 cm to 55 cm in diameter) and create a festive mood even in the gloomiest room, but you need to tinker with them. There are many videos on how to properly straighten layers of thin paper and get a beautiful pom-pom. A large one takes 15 minutes.
There are also backlit cardboard stars, paper tassels, etc. All this beauty is attached to the ceiling on invisible fishing lines or, conversely, on very bright wide ribbons. The range increases every year, so you can easily find the right color and the right size. If the holiday is for adults, it is better not to be colorful, but to choose several matching shades. There are a lot of design examples on the Internet, search for “paper decor”.
Large volumetric figures
For your birthday, you can make large numbers that will help solve the question of how to decorate the room with your own hands.
Instructions:
- Make the base of the number: thick cardboard or foam plastic (for example, from a box of household appliances) is suitable for this; you need to cut out the silhouette of the desired number on it.
- Trace the second silhouette of the number according to the existing template.
- Cut 2 strips of cardboard that will be the sides of the number.
- To decorate the number, you can make many small flowers from napkins or corrugated paper: each napkin should be folded in half, secured with tape; cut out a circle; lift all its layers up and press down with your fingers; straighten the bottom side.
- Attach the base of the number and the side with flowers using a stapler or glue.
How to beautifully decorate a room for your mother's birthday?
Mom is, first of all, a woman, which means she values aesthetics and is endowed with a sense of beauty. What could be more elegant and sophisticated than fresh flowers?
Roses, lilies, gerberas - any bouquets are suitable for decoration. Avoid only yellow flowers; if you believe, such a gift promises separation and sadness.
Decorating the room with flowers
Living flowers will quickly wither; if you would like your bouquet to avoid this fate, make a topiary with your own hands. The advantage of such a decoration is that after the holiday you can continue to admire it by placing the flowerpot on a window or shelf.
Topiary with roses made of satin ribbons
To make topiary, minimal financial costs are required, for example, for the composition in the photo you need:
- ceramic pot
- simple pencil
- round foam ball or fishing float
- satin ribbons
- glue
- alabaster, wall putty or cement to secure the stem in the pot
Roses are made from satin ribbons with your own hands, which are then attached to a round base. A video master class will help you learn more about the technology.

Photo collage
A collection of favorite photographs that highlight the main memorable dates in the life of the birthday person will definitely please him and can become an excellent interior decoration.
Collage options:
- simple : photos from birthdays, work, vacation. They need to be glued randomly or in strict sequence onto thick cardboard, making a corresponding background on it;
- unusual : using computer programs. You can make the birthday boy the main character of a comic book by gluing a photo of his face to the body of a superhero;
- for a baby : you can design a poster with photographs of a pregnancy test, footprints, first photographs of the baby by month (or year);
- fantasy : glue your friends' heads to famous characters or place them among interesting decorations.
A collage, decorated with soul and taste, inserted into a baguette with glass, will definitely take its rightful place on the wall of the birthday boy’s room and will become not only an interior decoration, but also an expensive gift.
Balls
Decorators who have extensive experience working with balloons create amazing compositions that we cannot repeat no matter how much we try. But there are several simple options for decorating a room with balloons, you just need to remember about them in time.
They inflate balloons in almost every flower shop; there is no point in buying a whole balloon for one holiday. The most banal thing is to throw balls at the ceiling, but there is a minus. Your faces and balloon ribbons will be visible in all photos. For cool photos, it is better to make several floor compositions (fountains), fixing 5-9 pieces at different heights. The weighting material is also made from a ball filled with water or sand.
I also recommend watching how they make a cloud with paper rain. And here is a detailed description of the streamlet garland. All about giant balls with tassels.
Balloon figures
Making figures from balls is not the easiest task. It's better to entrust it to professionals. However, if you have imagination and ingenuity, it is quite possible to try to do something with your own hands.
To bring this idea to life, you will need balls of different sizes (round, oblong, oval) and colors. As well as threads for connecting them and weights for installation on the floor in a stationary state. The figures can be decorated with paper bows, cut out eyes and other parts of the face.
For a children's birthday party, these can be favorite cartoon characters and funny animals; for an adult birthday boy, a charming guy or girl in a seductive look is suitable.
Accessories for guests
You can make your party brighter and more fun by providing guests with popular holiday attributes. Is your princess turning one year old?
Give your guests decorations in the form of small crowns that are attached to the head with hairpins.
Make a gangster-themed party for your son? At your service are fake mustaches on a stick, black mini-hats attached to the chin with an elastic band and paper bow ties.
