Need Party decorating help!
Very soon I am throwing a party for my two boys for their birthdays. I am well aware that it is insane to throw a party for a bunch of people when it is just me and the kids here to set up but that isn't the point:D
It is going to be a jungle themed party. More specifically a pajama jungle party. Think "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
Anyway, my current ideas:
Use brown packaging paper and green construction paper to make trees that will be hung up on the doors.
Use streamers (somehow!) to simulate vines snaking across the walls/ceiling.
Have green and brown streamers hanging in all of the doorways to simulate vines.
Make animal faces hats out of construction paper for each of the kids to wear. So far I am thinking lions and tigers will be the easiest to make recognizable.
I already downloaded a CD of African music that should set the mood.
I plan on having pillows everywhere on the floor and jungle related books laying around.
I realize that this is a massive undertaking because I am not artsy at all, which is why I need help from creative people!! What sounds good, what sounds bad? Any idea how to make my trees look somewhat realistic? My vines?
