What a cool unicorn birthday we had for Annaliese and Abigail this weekend! It was filled with pizza, cake, juice boxes, balloons, streamers, glow sticks, a pinata, a borrowed bouncy castle, and a whole lot of unicorn decor. Like I said on my Instagram post – it was a 90’s birthday party on steriods. But I was most proud of my DIY unicorn party backdrop!
I went to the Great Canadian Dollar Store (I’m sure all dollar stores have streamers in the party section) and picked the colours of the rainbow for the unicorn party backdrop. And then in a couple steps completed the rainbow part:
- Unroll tape to be 5 feet long (or as long as you want your unicorn party backdrop to be), and lay it down adhesive-side up.
- Place the end of the red streamers (for the pattern of colours of the rainbow, red – orange – yellow – green – blue – purple) on the adhesive-side of the tape and unroll the length you want for the height of the backdrop to be and cut.
- Then repeat step 3 for a total of 6 strands of red streamers.
- Continue steps 3 and 4 for the rest of the rainbow’s colours.
- Unroll a second piece of tape that matches the first, and place it on top of the streamers where the first piece of tape is. It helps strengthen it when you hang it on the wall.
- Use additional tape or tacks to hang the unicorn party backdrop on the wall.
- Trim the streamers ends to be the same length. And you’re done!
The balloon arch is another story! I’ll share tomorrow here.
