*Click on the picture to download the file*

Bluey Birthday Party Banner- Download, print on cardstock, punch a hole in the top two corners, and hang the banner up with string or ribbon.

Bluey party hats- Download, print on cardstock, and cut out. Then, wrap the design into a cone with about 1/2 to 1 inch overlap. Secure with tape or glue (I usually use hot glue)

To add a strap, you can punch holes on either side to tie a stretchy string to, glue or staple a couple thin ribbons to tie under the chin, use tape with stretchy string… whatever works best for you.

Water Bottle Labels- Download, print on lightweight cardstock or full sheets of sticker paper (I like this sticker paper the best). Then, cut out the design and wrap it around a water bottle. Sticker paper is easiest and sticks directly to the bottle, but you can also secure cardstock with tape or glue.

Food Labels/Table Tents- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out, then fold in half to stand them up.

Straw Flags- Download this fun Bluey birthday party printable, print on lightweight cardstock or sticker paper, cut out, and wrap around your straw. If using cardstock, secure with glue or tape.

Bluey Thank You Tags- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out, punch a hole in the center at the top, and attach with string or ribbon. This design looks cute both with and without the top corners cut so do it whichever way you like best!

Bluey Cupcake Toppers- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out (or use a 2.5″ hole punch to make it quick and easy), then attach a toothpick to the back with tape or glue. You can easily make these double sided with one circle on each side of the toothpick!

Rita’s Beans (Jelly bean bags)- Download the Bluey birthday party printable, then print on regular copy paper or glossy brochure paper for a more professional look. Cut out.

Use double sided tape or hot glue along the bottom edge and one side (make sure you apply it to the back side of the paper, not the printed side). If you use tape, add it to the top edge as well.

Fold the paper where the blue part of the design is the front and the light orange faces the back. The side flap with the glue or tape gets folded second so that it secures the two back sides together. This creates a pocket with the bottom closed.

Add your jelly beans. Seal the top closed. Finally, for an added professional look, use a paper crimper and pinking shears on the top and bottom edges.

***This first design is for a birthday girl. Click the second picture for a birthday boy***

This is the one you want for a boy!

How To Make A Planet Suncatcher

May 9, 2023

In light of our little man turning one this week with a First Trip Around The Sun themed party, we are learning about space and making a fun planet suncatcher!

They are so easy to make and can be done by kids of all ages. It would make a perfect craft for any Space Party!

(THIS POST PROBABLY CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY IS REALLY BORING, BUT YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.)

Suncatcher Instructions

You’ll need:

Freezer paper (I only had wax paper, but freezer paper would work better)
Clear glue
Tissue paper– cut into small squares, triangles, etc
Construction paper
Scissors
Cardboard for a sturdy work surface
Tape

Step 1: Tape the paper to cardboard

First, tape a sheet of freezer paper to a piece of cardboard. This gives the kids a sturdy place to work, keeps the paper from trying to roll up, and makes it easy to transfer the project to a safe place to dry.

Step 2: Add lots of glue

Next, Paint on a thick layer of glue, covering the entire center of the paper. You will want this big enough to cover the entire suncatcher.

Step 3: It’s time for designing!

Let the kids cover the glue with pieces of tissue paper. Make sure all of the glue gets covered for best results. Also, a single layer of tissue paper will show more light through than multiple layer. You will want to make sure you don’t have multiple pieces of tissue paper stuck together.

Step 4: Make your suncatcher outline

You can use construction paper to create an outline for your planets. Using dark paper for your planet outline helps create a nice contrast when the final suncatcher is put in a window.

To make the outline, cut out a large circular planet shape. Then cut out the center of the shape, leaving a 1 inch border.

Step 5: Attach the outline

Cover the tissue paper with glue to create a protective layer and keep everything flat. Glue the construction paper over the tissue paper and cover this with glue as well.

Step 6: Let the suncatcher dry

Depending on how much glue you use, this might take awhile. Set it in the sun or in front of a fan for quicker drying.

Step 7: Remove freezer paper and hang it up

Finally, remove the freezer paper from the back of the suncatcher design and cut out the planet. You can punch a hole in the top and add yarn to hang it up or simply tape it to a window.

TA-DA!!! You have beautiful suncatchers for your little space explorers to enjoy!

I’d love to hear from you!!!

Let me know if I’ve inspired you today! I would absolutely love seeing your suncatcher creations so make sure you add me on Instagram and Facebook and tag me! I can’t wait to see your creations!
