- A Project For: Sierra
- Age: 1
- Location: Colorado
-
Description:
Inspired by the cuteness of lady bugs, Sierra celebrates her first birthday as a "baby bug."
-
Design Inspiration:
lady bugs and a red/lime green/black color palette
-
Decorating Style:
fun, simple, and bright
-
Project Details:
The simple paper works of Paper Patterns on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/paperpatterns) was the starting point. From there lady bug inspired food (lady bugs on a log, lady bug crackers, etc.), balloons, ribbon accents, lady bug ornaments, and more were added.
-
Favorite Items:
The lady bug crackers, which were discovered online, really helped drive the theme home and were very tasty. Since the birthday party was near Christmas, the redecorated Christmas tree into a Lady Bug tree was also a huge hit.
-
Advice:
To keep costs down, lots of ribbon was used as decor accents: tied to serving dishes/glasses, as ornament accents on the tree, etc. Layering the ribbons also added dimension and fun. A combination of satin, grosgrain, polka dot patterned, and solid was used.
