Origami Decorations
Create inexpensive and uncommon birthday party decorations with origami. Instead of buying objects to suspend from your ceiling, use a paper of your choice and craft origami cranes to float through your event. These popular origami creations can add excitement to your birthday space. Fold an abundance of these paper craft birds by following the directions listed in the Resources section, and run a clear line through the top of each. Suspend your army of cranes from the ceiling to create an interesting addition to your birthday party festivities.
Monochromatic Lighting
Set the scene for your birthday event with simple lighting if appropriate. With monochromatic lighting, you can set the space aglow in one bold hue. Purchase light bulbs in the birthday boy's favorite color, as long as that color isn't a dark hue such as brown or a sickly tone like green. Replace all the standard light bulbs in the room with these bold and colorful bulbs. If you have any lighting that is not produced by a bulb, purchase theater gels, and attach these color-changing transparent sheets over your other lighting so it echos the same hue.
Glass Container Centerpieces
Create sparkly and engaging centerpieces using glass containers. As you prepare for your birthday event, gather an assortment of glass containers of varying shapes and sizes. Select a medium to fill these containers with. You can place stones, dyed water or any other engaging material in each of the glass containers. Place the glass containers around your space, putting clusters of them in the centers of party tables. These table top decorations will sparkle in the light and provide a source of interest at your birthday party event.
Paper Bag Luminaries
Create glowing accents that are inexpensive and simple to produce. Purchase standard paper lunch sacks to use in creating these accents. Create a design on the outside of the bag that is reflective of the birthday girl, such as her initial or an image that would hold special appeal for her. Using a standard hole punch, punch around this created image. After creating the image on the bags, fill the bottoms with sand, and nestle a candle into each. Immediately before party guests arrive, light the candles and set your bags around your birthday party space. When placing your bags, take care to keep them out of walkways and position them in areas free of traffic to ensure that they are not accidentally knocked over during the party.
