Decorations for first birthday party from AliExpress


Today I will talk about decorations I ordered from AliExpress for my son`s first birthday party which we celebrated back in March.
Always order stuff from AliExpress few months before the event, cause it can take pretty long time to arrive. And I am preparing for the second birthday party already :)

Light blue pompom ball. Came in 2.5 weeks. Was packed in bag with English instructions. Tied with white ribbon. Make it carefully, the leaves are very thin and can easily be torn. But the end result is very cute :) The pompom is not small, about 30 cm. My link does not work anymore, so I leave an alternative link.

Banner. Came in 2.5 weeks. Was packaged. Without a smell, the picture is clear and bright, the paper is not thin. Only 10 flags on the banner. My link does not work anymore, so I found something similar.

Star garland. Consists of two color stars, 32 stars on a garland. The stars are stitched. With pearl outflow. Ordered to decorate the feeding chair as you can see on the photo. I just cut a three-star line with scissors and attached to the bottom of the chair. It looks nice :)

Tablecloth with Mickey Mouse. It looks different from seller`s picture. Comes folded in a package. The print is quite bright but the tablecloth itself is very thin, can be easily torn. There was smell when I opened it but it disappeared. Tablecloth is disposable, only for one time use.

Cake topper with Mickey Mouse. The topper comes disassembled, it is very easy to assemble. There are 4 transparent stickers for attaching. Made from thick paper. But one con: black stripes on the white part. Not a big deal but a bit unpleasant. It looks nice on the cake :)

Number 1 balloon. Comes folded without packaging. The balloon is small, only 35 cm in length (inflated already). The colors are bright but if you inflate it with helium, as I did, then consider that it will not fly, since the amount of helium is small and the material is rather dense and it simply can not fly. I found a way out of the situation by hanging another balloon on it. Or just inflate it by yourself through drinking straw.

How to use juice bottles + AliExpress review



Many of you have already seen these awesome candy bars, which are so popular in America as well as around the world. Very convenient buffet type table, when everyone comes and chooses snacks according to their taste. Usually offered salty and sweet snacks, cake, drinks. I love candy bars for children's birthdays and I already have plans to organize a table for my boy on his birthday (of course without dairy products and products containing eggs!) as well as my birthday.
Many that type of tables contain bottles with juice / lemonade / cocktails, the priorities of which are: individuality, convenience and aesthetic appearance.

I already wrote earlier about how I use jars from the baby food: dessert in jar, which is perfect for children's and adult party tables. Today I will show you a photo (maybe someone will get inspired and get ideas for realization) how I use bottles from baby juice and write about these beautiful straws ordered from AliExpress.

The parcel number was not tracked but straws arrived within 2 weeks. Exactly 25 pieces in the package, no smell. Straws are made from thick paper but the paper softens in the liquid. Drinking is convenient, the flow is good.

How to make number 1 for your baby's first Birthday



Hi there!

I'm on blogging wave again and starting my blog posts with DIY. My dear baby boy became 1 year old yesterday and I wanted to make something by myself for him. While my handicraft talent is not really good, I decided to start with something easy: DIY nr 1 from tissue paper! And today we will see how to make it and what do you need to prepare for it. Let me say right away that making it is not difficult to make but it takes a lot of time (if you would like to make it in 1 day, then you should consider few hours for it).

What do you need:

✔️ cardboard box
✔️ scissors
✔️ pencil
✔️ ruler
✔️ eraser
✔️ hot glue or PVA glue
✔️ stapler
✔️ tissue paper in wished colors

That's all! Size of the number is up to you (but consider that bigger size will take you more time to make, so you need to start asap), I didn't want big one (mine is ), but if you would like to make bigger one, then you can cut out few parts of number and glue together. Also I used myself hot glue, while I didn't have PVA glue in home and it dries up faster. I used tissue in two colors: blue and white. The blue ones were big, so I cut them in two pieces.
So how to make nr 1? Let's see!

➖ Take the cardboard box and draw nr 1 on it using pencil and ruler. If you mess up, then use eraser.


➖ When drawing is finished, then cut it out with scissors.

➖ Base is ready! Let's start with tissue paper flowers. Take napkin and start to fold it from this side where it's closed (it's only 1 side usually).

➖ When folded, then put it in half and seal it with stapler downside.

➖ Now unfold all the tissue paper layers. If it comes out that one side of layer is closed, then cut it as shown on picture or pull gently with you own hands. Voila, flowers are ready!

➖ Take the glue and put it on flower (downside) and glue it on number base. I started from the bottom and before that I checked up how I will put all of the flowers. Just do it as your heart says, won't mistake :)

That simple it is! Of course you can make harder version of this number if you have time and willingness. I got away with simple version and I'm happy with it :)

If you have any questions or offers, do not hesitate to contact me.

Wishing an inspiration,
V.O.
