What did you use? Ad from shop TackyNutPartyStore This barn is amazing.
This sign hung on the front door. Aylah got a bunch of horse related presents she was in heaven!! When all was said and done I ended up hand delivering them just because I was paranoid they would get damaged through post, but I think they probably would have survived fine. From now on all of Aylahs candles will match her party theme perfectly, there is no longer an excuse for mediocre candles, hehe.

Thanks for such a detailed blog.
You party is perfect, so much inspiring!!! This is the most amazing party Ive ever seen, and an incredibly thoughtful breakdown of your secrets.
Your link has been one stop shop for me. Then I took to pinterest where I found this and this, which led me directly to this awesome (detailed) blog post about how to make your own. Hay bale is from Hobby Lobby. Slip zip ties through those holes and around your pole, which creates a swivel effect. I just searched YouTube for a tutorial on how to make tissue poms cant find the exact video that I watched, but there are tons of them out there. I have been doing my best to understand what is available in USA and how to reach out to them.Relocating to a new country and learning where to go for what is also a reason for not being able to do so perfectly like you have done, A Cricut is a die cut machine. I made my backdrop myself. It appears the inner part is black card stock, but its difficult to tell what material is backing it almost looks like wood. And again, Im not sure the relevance of the length of the banners. FREE shipping, ad by Larahomesweethome For this party, I used my Emart's Adjustable Backdrop Stand, but there are tons of options out there to choose from!
It worked wonderfully. Great job mama! I got it in the spring. I cut circles out of black cardstock, use a standard hole punch for the straw and wrote on the name with white pencil crayon. Doesnt matter what size mine are, youll need to measure your own table. (10% off), ad by FarmhousefortheSoul Wondering if you used a specific vendor. The cricut ones? Though I do take full credit for the execution of the ideas, Im a firm believer of giving credit to the creator, or at least the source that inspired me. The mini farm mats werent made with a machine, they were made by hand. From shop Whimsiesbykaren, ad by ThePartyDarlingShop Thanks! Materials are just tissue paper and construction paper, hung with fishing wire.
These are third party technologies used for things like interest based Etsy ads. I have checked and found the cricut cartridges you have mentioned in amazon and now I am aware of the cartridges. My son is having a farm 1st birthday party on April 8th. I never realized how convenient it was to walk around a room full of abandoned drinks on random tables and know exactly who they belonged to, who needed a refill, and who had already left. So I eventually found some online here and bought a bunch just to have on hand, lol. Find out more in our Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy. If you can anchor it in the grass I would probably make a really simple frame with 2x4s to attach it to. Yep Samantha Those are the exact ones! xoxo,
Hello Erin, xoxo, Where did you get the signs for food. Happy birthday to your little one! She passed the test Aylah LOVES her!!
They were hung on the ceiling using clear Command hooks for easy removal later.
I really want to give the same favors at my daughters party but Im not crafty and I dont have the machine.
I just used plain card stock.
But still struggling to understand where and how ask for a cricut printer.I am not even sure as to whether I need a printer or some other machine. Success no spillage! Whether you liked or disliked the product. (10% off), ad by Letsstartwith1
I have no source material to share for these playmats or paper fences, cuz those ideas was 100% moi! I cut the horse in half and stuck on his front and back end separately.
How wide is the burlap ribbon used to support the photos on The Last Year photo display?
I was just wondering if you have a video or a more detailed blog on how you did the barn invitation? I would like to share my birthday party pictures with you if you dont mind spending few minutes looking at them.
The strawberry flavoured milk was a big hit with the dads kids. And Im assuming it was safe to light the candle afterward? Voil!

You've already signed up for some newsletters, but you haven't confirmed your address. I thought the covers were a brilliant idea too to try and moderate the spillage on the cream-coloured carpet issue.
I wish I had the time & talents to devote to such endeavors & cannot wait to see the under the sea party! Your email address will not be published. Thank you so much for sharing and explaining everything your amazing. Who doesnt love Smart Food?? Thanks! The shorter 6ft add-onpole can be found here.
From shop EraRetro, $108.00 . Where did you purchase the burlap tablecloth and the cow print fabric overlay that is situated in the middle of the table what are the dimensions of each? Came in a package of 3 (different sizes) which is also what is under the milk jugs on the table. Wow, its amazing you know how to sew, and that you created your daughters shirt! Its kind of hard to see but I also did a small bunting behind them hung on short dowels like this. Dont mind me.
The brown was the colour of my dining room wall. FREE shipping, ad by TackyNutPartyStore Thanks!
Bottles are from Home Sense and metal tub is from Michaels.
I used my gingham, striped and kraft paper from Hobby Lobby along with some twine to make bunting banners. I made sure to wash all of the chalk marker off right away after the party if you leave that stuff on too long its almost impossible to get it to completely disappear again.
Original Price $42.00 Fence around the crate was created using the Everyday Pop-Up Cards cartridge and just layering the fence pieces. Aylah has a love of horses we discovered this in the summer when she rode a pony for the first time and absolutely fell in love. , Genial!!!

Lastly: Party Favors, Activities & Decor Additives. Ad from shop RoyalzShop The kids loot bags were solely inspired by this pin. Hi Melissa! This last one is from our farm studio shoot. I am so inspired by your creativity, craftiness, and generosity to share your ideas.
(Cricut cartridges used: Create a Critter, Disney Mickey and Friends pg.65 for the sign), I wanted kraft envelopes, but couldnt find them in square for anything close to a reasonable price so I bought this polka dot wrapping paper and my mom made up these envelopes for me. I of course also recreated the studio shoot inspiration in my own studio. seasidecollectibles

Idea here and design here.
Bristol board isnt very strudy, so Id be worried that the wind would destroy it in minutes.
Hello Kayla,
I asked because I was trying to get an idea of how many yards and/or inches were needed to cover your decorative spaces Back to the banners did you find or create a template for the triangle flags/pennants for both mini and regular size versions? By any chance would you be able to share the exact dimensions the barn ended up being?
Do you recall the dimensions of the triangles/flags on the small cake pop banners mounted on dowels, popcorn banners draped in the front of the small crates and large banners strung up on the railing and mantle? Small ones are probably about an inch high. I got all of the felt from Michaels (I was so excited to find the cobble stone textured one) and because Im CRAZY I hand stitched all of the pieces on with embroidery floss to give it that finished look. Yes, this actually works and the kids were fighting over who got to play it next. Yes this took a while, but it was the perfect activity to do in the evening on my time off while sipping an ice cold Pepsi and watching Survivor.
I tried to do same way and somehow I could never get that.Mine looks shabby. Okay, you got a glimpse of this in the video.
From shop Spoonflower, Sale Price $4.00 I punctured small holes about every five inches going vertically up a largecardboard box. Its meant to go around flower gardens. Also that photos arranged on the burlap ribbon is very good.

Ad from shop embrant SpoonflowerHome Hi, I was just wondering if by any chance you have a blog or video on the process of making the invitations. The organized side of me was a very happy camper. EraRetro Xoxo Make party clean-up a snap by using Cow Print Table Cover. I came with the idea for a farm birthday party for the 3rd birthday of my daughter which in in November and since yesterday I am all over the Internet searching for decorations. It was actually from my local dollar store. Take full advantage of our site features by enabling JavaScript.
This concept looked so nice on the wall in my hallway that Im going to leave it there (minus the sign and the piggies) and use it to pin up all of Aylahs advent activities for Christmas. The tiny hay bails are from Michaels, but they were pretty pricey so I only got a few. : ) Tags are just black cardstock written with white pencil crayon and tied with twine on an elastic (so that you can open it to fill it).
xoxo,
Off to Michaels I go but nooooo, of course they dont carry that there!! . Wow, amazing workI was going to ask how long did you work on this party start to finish but I read one year. She describes it as a labour of love for her grand-daughter, because though it wasnt particularly difficult, it did take many hours to complete. I found the balloons online, because again, cow print balloons arent available around here for some reason. Im so short on sleep lately between my teething toddler and husband whos under the weather. 2 things I could not make out from your pictures. I have included the party dcor links below that I used to get this look!, Heavy Duty Clamps (thesewill secure your backdrop on the stand), Spaceship Cookie Cutter (rocket rice crispies), Boxes (perfect size for table WITHOUTlabels) & Dowel Rods (Toy Story props sticking out of the boxes). Walmart any craft store any stationary store. Nothing fancy. .
What kind of labels did you use for the water bottles?
I wanted the apples to be visible, not to mention they barely fit in the boxes so giving them that extra bit of room to bulge out the one side helped me to get them closed properly. I was thinking maybe plastic might be a better choice for 2 yr. olds (and some adults!) The fence on your envelope- I cant seem to find the fence in Cricut! Which animals are you asking about?
Tractor wheels idea was found here. would help me with templates for animal poms poms and if are round shape varies Saying no will not stop you from seeing Etsy ads or impact Etsy's own personalization technologies, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Party display images are for inspiration only. I am still in awe of how accurately Christina delivers on source ideas this is what I gave her.

From shop MyBeautifulBavaria2. From shop MadebyHeidiRohrmoser, ad by TYSONARTSHOP Water bottle labels were designed from scratch by me (I did labels for Aylahs party last year too its just a thing I do, lol). I could have just used a white paint Sharpie but I want to be able to reuse all of this signage for future parties. Here's a short video of the final product. Its a variation of what I did for her birthday last year. Ive been searching Pinterest for awhile now as Im having a farmed themed 2nd birthday for my son and came across your blog!
Im kinda annoyed with myself for not keeping better records.
I also found this perfect little sectioned tray at Winners two days before the party just by luck
embrant Viktoriacraft27 I found it on Etsy here just got her to do red instead of pink. The kids also played the fun games of Pin the Badge on Woody, Pin the Tail on Bullseye, and took a couple swings on thisBuzz Lightyear Pinata! Hope that helps! , Thank you for your prompt response and taking the time to answer my questions. And now the girl who I KNEW I could count on for all of the fancy baked goodies. I know I know, Im outta control!! Thank, you , Lorraine, The whole event takes a year to plan.
Spoonflower I used cow print and gingham ribbon and made chalk style name tags. Just take a look for yourself HomeGoodsShoppe And LOOK at those sugar cookies!!! The string I used was kinda like twine but thinner and softer so it was easier to work with. For the playmate you made your daughter. Im so glad I did as your very inspiring.
Original Price $7.59
These badges were actuallyvery good quality! MyBeautifulBavaria2
These larger milk bottles were a combination of this idea paired with this label idea using the Create a Critter cartridge.
Hey Courtnie the link for the farm animal figurines is further up in the blog post (by the thank-ewe pails) but they appear to currently be out of stock. stunning!
Chalkboard easel is 57. Chalkboard paint on wood. As I said, everything was beautiful.
I think mine is much cuter, hehe! First, this whole ensemble is amazing!!
Ad from shop seasidecollectibles The fence rungs are what I used to fill in the addresses. Original Price $7.99 Ad from shop GiftsAllMappedOut
All from the Create a Critter cartridge.
The backing is kraft wrapping paper with polka dots that I found at Target and then I used some of my burlap runner to make the 3 strips across the middle. I wanted a pen of cow cake pops after seeing this pin but I thought the cows looked kinda creepy (some sort of bull dog comes to mind) so then I found this pin of much cuter cows and Christina created these red velvet flavoured gems I would really love to see that. I used a Bullseye Lifesize Cutout prop to cover one pole base and used a party favor/guest book table to cover the other base. $12.61, $15.76 Coming to my party it did not come so perfectly like that of yours.

The title on the top is made from a cut piece of black foam board and then I used little black cut tacks, just like these, but I found them at Home Depot.
Original Price $14.19 MyPartybazaar I finally found these ones at Walmart of all places, the only catch is it was the American Walmart and I couldnt get them here. Okay, so heres how I did it! Follow us on Instagram & Pinterest for more inspiration! I was wondering where can I buy a photo back drop faith farm animals or farm animals standee? . If youre referring to the bottom where the grass and fence is I just folded the bottom of the card a couple of times like an accordion and then stuck the die cuts onto the folded part. Did you use any special programs to create the template?
