Rocket water bottle wrap

How To Make A Rocket Water Bottle

Throwing a space-themed birthday party for your child can be a blast, but it can also be challenging to come up with creative and fun ideas to make the party memorable. One idea is to make printable rocket water bottle wraps to add a fun and personalized touch to your child’s outer space birthday party.

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

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a printable rocket water bottle wrap:

Materials:

Step 1: Download the rocket water bottle wrap template

The first step is to download the free printable rocket water bottle wrap template.

Step 2: Print the template

Once you have downloaded the template, print it on white printer paper. Make sure your printer settings are set to high quality to ensure that the colors come out vibrant and crisp. You can use a lightweight cardstock if you want a little more rigidity to your rocket.

Step 3: Cut out the template

Use scissors to carefully cut out the printed template along the outer lines.

Step 4: Wrap the rocket template around the water bottle

Take the cut-out template and wrap it around the water bottle. Use glue or tape to secure the ends of the template together.

Step 5: Make the wings

Each of the three wings have four lines on them. The two center lines are the guidelines for where you fold the paper in. The two outside lines, by the triangle edges, are to be folded out. When it’s done, you should have a flat surface to tape to the rocket water bottle with a triangle wing sticking straight out.

Step 6: Make the cone top

Wrap the half circle shaped piece into a cone shape. Secure with tape or glue. You can either tape it to the water bottle or simply let it sit on top.

Step 7: Repeat for all water bottles

Once you have decorated your first water bottle wrap, repeat the process for all of the other water bottles you have.

First Trip Around The Sun Party

A First Trip Around The Sun Party

My youngest just turned one, y’all! I have been wanting to do a space themed party for awhile so I took this opportunity to do a First Trip Around The Sun party for my little man.

In this post you’ll be able to see how I brought the party together in these areas:

*Check out my photo gallery for the full party album!*

First Trip Around The Sun Party Backdrop

When I originally planned this party, it was going to be at my house. When my family decided to celebrate family Easter on the same day, I had to change my plan for my backdrop. (Please don’t mind the Easter items that may be in the pictures, haha)

First Trip Around The Sun Party backdrop

I ended up making a backdrop with a black background, 2 boxes of an outer space balloon kit on Amazon, and made 3 wooden geometric arches which were covered with contact paper (I got the white from Walmart, but the yellow and stars came from Amazon.)

It would have been nice to able to get instructions for how I made the arches, but I had to do them within 2 days so I was more focused on just getting them done.

I know my yellow half circle looks a little out of place, but in my defense, I had yellow/orange balloon planets that were supposed to go on my arch to tie it all together. Unfortunately, with 7 kids, nieces, and nephews running around, the planets were the first casualties.

Birthday boy with his smash cake

My little one definitely loved his cake!

Space Themed Food

I don’t know about you, but I love making my food match my party theme. One of the things people usually remember most about any party is if they liked the food or not, so to me, tying in the party theme is an easy way to help make it memorable (in a good way).

My stepdad wanted hamburgers and hotdogs for the main meal which is not pictured. (We took party pictures before he grilled them)

Main Food Items

“Meaty-or Meatballs” are super simple, quick, and a great party food! Add a glittery star to a toothpick to each meatball for easy handling. I made the stars on my cricut machine, but you can cut them out by hand, use a star punch, or even find similar options on Etsy that others make and ship for you!

Meaty-or meatballs

Side Items

“Space Chips” go perfectly with meatballs. I chose tortilla chips since I wanted to make homemade dips, but you can easily use Funyuns as “Saturn’s Rings”, Cheese Balls as “Asteroids” or “Meteors”, or you can be like me and choose any chips that match your menu and make them “Space Chips” (I like that it sounds like “space ships”, haha).

Space chips

Speaking of dips… I had 3! “Sun Flare Salsa” which is a store bought salsa that we like, “Blast Off Bean Dip”, and “Galaxy Guacamole”. You could easily add a “Celestial Cheese Dip” to the mix as well!

Space Dips- Sun flare salsa, Blast off bean dip, & Galaxy guacamole

One of my favorite things about the party was this “Fruity Planet”. I wish I would have had more time to work on it though. I think it would look better if the pineapples and strawberries were more even in height and better fitting.

It could have been more amazing if I would have added more berry skewers to give the rings a more definite path. It still turned out pretty awesome and it ended up being a perfect side for our party!

Fruity Planet

Space Themed Drink

For the drink, I made a Lunar Lemonade (most people call it Galaxy Lemonade). I really love how the colors change and I added edible glitter to my ice stars to give it more of a galactic feel. This lemonade drink is definitely a big hit at parties!

Lunar Lemonade/Galaxy lemonade

Cakes & Treats

What’s a kid’s party without cake & treats?! For this First Trip Around The Sun party, we had a smash cake, dairy free cookies and cupcakes, “Constellation In A Cup”, and Moon Pies.

How cute is this smash cake?! Baking In Wonderland made the cake and cookies for this party and the kids really loved them all!

First trip around the sun cake and cookies

Moon Pies are probably one of the easiest Space Party foods to incorporate in a space party. Half of my family is dairy free so we had Oreos as a dairy free alternative. (Peep my rocket water bottles in the background! This free printable is in my printable library!)

These wooden boxes come from the Dollar Tree. I simply painted them to match the party colors.

If you want a fun art project for your space party, these “Constellation In A Cup” treats are an easy option that the kids love (cause what kid doesn’t love playing with their food?!).

As a bonus, it is also a simple way to teach kids about stars and constellations so they can learn something while they play.

Constellation in a cup

Kid’s Table & Party Favors

The kid’s table had a spacy plastic tablecloth (same one was used for the food table), black and blue plates, and the party favors that I made!

Kid's table

The treat bags were made with plain black treat bags. I made a cute design with silver vinyl on my Cricut machine to put on them and then printed one of my thank you tags to attach to them.

Inside I added star glasses that I got from Hobby Lobby, “Astronaut Food” applesauce, and a chalk “rocket”.

I have the chalk printable for free in my printable library! Simply print on cardstock, cut out, and stick a chalk on it with sticky tack! -EASY!

First trip around the sun party favors

My final party favor was some homemade galaxy play dough. You can find the full details in this post!

Deep Space Dough/ Home made galaxy play dough

The last thing I had for this party is this awesome photo prop! The kids all had a lot of fun taking pictures with it.

I made a sturdy stand with PVC pipes. It was nice that it was easy to travel with, quick to put together and take apart, and safe enough for kids to play around.

12 Inexpensive Ways To Entertain Kids At A Party

When planning a party with kids, it’s a good idea to have something to entertain them. They are more likely to have fun, it can help keep them out of trouble, and the adults can better enjoy the company of the other guests. Below is a list of 12 inexpensive ways that you can entertain kids when you’re hosting a party.

12 Inexpensive ways to entertain kids at a party

Chalk

How much more simple can it get than chalk?! If you’ve got a sidewalk, slab of concrete, chalkboards, or even a simple wooden fence, you can let the kids imaginations go crazy without having to worry about a giant mess to clean (Thank you rain!).

One of the best parts is that you can buy chalk for next to nothing!

If you like to DIY and really want to save money, you can easily make your own chalk with egg shells!

Amazon has some decent priced boxes of chalk in bulk if you want a lot of chalk for your party.

Crayons

Another super simple way to inexpensively entertain kids at a party is with crayons. Whether you have a large piece of butcher paper taped to the table or print party themed activity sheets, pretty much all kids love to be creative with crayons!

This brings us to our next idea…

These packs of crayons would be so easy to use as party favors!

Printables

There are so many different kind of printables out there that will easily keep kids entertained. From BINGO, to coloring pages, to crafts. Perusing Pinterest might land you with some free options, but if you can’t find something specific on there, check out Etsy! There are so many amazing printable shops that sell printable kids games, pages, and crafts at cheap prices!

This BINGO game is a free option provided by Crazy Little Projects.

Bubbles

What kid doesn’t love bubbles?! You can give each kid individual bubble wands as party favors or set up a bubble station where they can refill their containers.

To simplify it even more (or if you have a lot of tots running around that’ll just dump the bubbles instead of blowing them) then opt for a bubble machine instead. These might be a little more expensive, but if you have one already laying around then it’ll definitely be a cheap option for entertaining the kids!

Here is an awesome bubble solution that makes 5 gallons of bubbles which would provide hours of fun for a great price!

These mini star wands would be easy to incorporate into a kids party!

Bean Bag/Ball Toss

If you have a cardboard box and something to cut out holes with, you can make a fun bean bag/ball toss game to match your party theme! You can paint a character on it or just turn it into a simple bullseye target.

Really, you can use anything you have laying around that kids can throw bags or balls into/ through. Cans, cups, baskets… Get creative and have fun!

inexpensive ball/bean bag toss for kids parties

If you don’t want to make your own game, here is a bean bag/ring toss kit that is ready to use!

Balloons

I can’t tell you how many hours of fun balloons have provided for my kids. They’ve played “Keepy Uppy”, popped them with their butts, tossed them in baskets and boxes, and even decorated them with stickers and markers.

Balloons are definitely an inexpensive way to entertain kids and the best part is that you can easily double them for party decor!

Needing balloons? I’ve found an awesome bulk bundle of those for you too! I’ve used these for my parties in the past and all the kids had a lot of fun with them!

Obstacle Course

Obstacle courses are also easy to make with items you have around the house!

Tape can be put on the floor in different patterns for kids to walk on, jump over, etc. Boxes can be used as tunnels. Wood can be made into balance beams. String can be taped to walls for kids to climb through.

Just see what is available in your home and you’ll be able to entertain kids at your party practically for free!

inexpensive obstacle course for kids parties

Pretty Real shows a perfect example of how you can use many different objects to make an obstacle course.

If you need a little help getting started, here is a game kit that you can use for your obstacle course. I think the medals would be an awesome addition to help motivate the kids!

Tic-Tac-Toe

A childhood favorite: Tic-tac-toe! You can take a piece of wood and paint some stones to make a quick, but fun tic-tac-toe game. If you want something easier, paint some beans and make a tic-tac-toe board on a square of cardboard. You could also use cereal, noodles, or stones. Whatever you have around the house can work!

This is an easy game to personalize and send home with your guests as party favors!

inexpensive tic tac toe ideas for entertaining kids at a party

Bowling

This is another game that is easy to reuse items around the house! Tin cans, water/soda bottles, plastic cups.. Anything you can stand up and then knock down with balls.

Here’s an example from Trish Sutton!

Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts are easy to do when you have a themed party! You can make a fun printable page with pictures for each of the kids and send them around the party site to find those party themed items!

Canva is my go-to for making simple pages like this. Just find graphics that match your theme that the kids can find (or upload your pics if you took special pics for the hunt) and then put them on your paper wherever you’d like them. The kids can circle or mark through the items as they find them.

If you have older kids, make it more challenging by having them use a phone or camera to take a picture of each item they find.

First person to find them all wins!

Craftaholics Anonymus has a fun photo scavenger hunt!

Sand Fun

If you have access to a sand box (or can make one), these are easy kid entertainment centers. Trucks, dinosaurs, blocks, animals… so many items can be played with in a sandbox! Bonus points if you can match it to your party theme!

Sugar Spice & Glitter made a blog post about different sand options and many can be used for themed parties!

Water Fun

Water table, water buckets, water guns, water balloons, sponges… If your guests are fine with kids getting wet then you can incorporate many different kinds of water play into your Summer parties to keep kids busy (and work all of the sugar out of their bodies!)

Here is a fun blog by Mama Cheaps that shows many options that can be used for your birthday parties!

Let me know if I’ve inspired you in some way! I’d love to hear what cheap ideas you’ve used to entertain kids at your own parties!

How To Make A Cheap Star Decorative Stand

This post may contain affiliate links. Feel free to read my full disclosure if you want to learn more!

I’m here to show you how to make a cheap star decorative stand!

My youngest is about to turn one *insert sad tears* and for his birthday we are doing a “First Trip Around The Sun” themed party!

Now, I really don’t have much for space themed items so I’ve decided to make some!

Today’s project: a silver and gold star decorative stand!

Star Decorative Stand

These are the items I used to make the star stand.

Directions:

1. Draw your stars on the foam block.

I knew what size I wanted my stars, but I’m not a fan of my freehand drawings, so the first thing I did was get on my Cricut machine to make my star stencils. I made 4 stars: 4.5″, 3.75″, 3″, and 2.25″.

You can free hand the stars, use (or make) a stencil, or use whatever star shaped items you have lying around if it’s the size and shape you want.

Draw stars on foam

2. Cut out the stars.

I used my soldering iron to cut out the stars since that’s what I had on hand. A foam cutting tool would be perfect for this though and would make straighter cuts, but you can use whatever is available to you! (If you’ve got the time and patience, you can also cut them out with a knife or blade)

I highly recommend doing this outside if you use a soldering iron since it melts the foam which produces a lot of smoke.

Cut out stars

3. Straighten the edges to your liking.

4. Make a rectangle for the base of the star decorative stand. I did free hand this part, and it ended up being about 2″x 5.5″.

cut out base

5. Cut the dow rod to the length you’d like and paint them. I cut 3 different sizes: 2″, 3″, and 4.5″. You may need different lengths, depending on the size of your stars and where/how you want them positioned. Make sure you have at least 1″ extra for the part that goes in the base and the bottom of the star (about .5″ each)

6. Paint the stars with Mod Podge and then cover with the metal flakes.

add metal flakes

7. Use a soft brush to get the excess flakes off of the star so only the part that’s glued down will be left.

8. Continue adding Mod Podge and flakes on all the sides and front of each star until they are covered to your liking.

cover the sides

9. Paint the base.

10. Insert the dow rods into the base of the stars. I used the rounded end of a paintbrush to start the holes so it wouldn’t mess up the foam by pushing a flat end of wood into it.

Add dow rods to stars

11. Put the stars into the base. I used the end of the paintbrush for this as well.

add stars to the base of the decorative stand

12. You can use hot glue to secure the stars to the rods, the rods to the base, and to glue stars directly onto the base of the star decorative stand if you want.

All done!!! Isn’t this a super easy and fun project?!

I can’t wait til I can get pictures of this with the rest of the party decor! Here’s a quick pic with my awesome moon I made to go with the party theme!
