10th Birthday Party

I threw a Spa Slumber Party for my tween with 9 of her friends! We painted nails and toe nails, thanks to the help from some fabulous college gals that these tween girls absolutely LOVE!!!!  We had a chocolate fountain, thanks to a great friend, and tons of snacks to enjoy!  There was karaoke and tons of fun to be had!!!!

 

Anyways I wanted to share with you the party favors, decorations, and cake that I made and where I got the information on how to make them!  It was lots of fun and little stressful, but my big girl was worth it!

Here are the party favor tubs that I made.  I just bought these fun colored tubs from Dollar General (on sale of course).  Then I used my cricut to make their initial from vinyl paper from Hobby Lobby.  I used colorful zebra print scarfs (Hobby Lobby) to line the tubs.  And then I stuffed them full of fun Spa-like items! I got the idea from How Does She website!  

I made these adorable felt flower hair accessories, which I learned from A Dear Friend (I love you girl!) They were so easy to make, I bought felt squares from Hobby Lobby and alligator clips from Wal-Mart.  Another one of my great friends helped me cut the felt (Thanks girlie, love you)! There are detailed instructions on a link on my friends website! I made one for each tub in blue, green, purple, or pink!

Then I covered the water bottles' labels with zebra print duct tape....SUPER EASY!!!  If I want to get real specific, my husband actually did that for me. LOVE HIM!!!! I got that idea from Creative Party Buzz. So I put that in the tub as well!

Then I made kool-aid lip gloss for each girl using the recipe from this BLOG, that I found through Pinterest.  I bought these little containers from Wal-Mart in their travel section, they were $0.99 for 2!  I printed labels on and stuck them on each container!  Very easy and fun!

Then I made these super easy Tissue Pom Poms from The Busy Budgeting Mama website that I came across on Pinterest!  By the way, if you aren't on Pinterest, I highly recommend that you join (WARNING: It is VERY addictive).  I LOVE IT!!!!

 Finally, here is the cake that my husband and I made together for the party we had with our family!  It was actually really easy. I got a great recipe for Marshmallow Fondant from some great friends that they found at The Cake Whiz website.  

 It was a really fun party and Emily and her friends had a great time! Thanks to all my friends and Pinterest for their help in making it a memorable weekend for her!
