How to Plan your own Undertale DIY Party

This Undertale DIY party was inspired to be a 13th Birthday Party for Frisk. I hope it inspires your parties. If you imagine something different for your party I would love to see it!

Backdrop

Lets get started with the background. I used a basic black dollar tree table cloth as the backdrop, draped black table cloths across the top to add more texture to the top of my display. You’ll find Flowey cutout in my Undertale Party Supplies shop and use green streamers to create a vine from Flowey to the table. The Happy Birthday Banner is included in my Undertale Alphabet Banner set along with the character cutouts in my Undertale Party supplies listing.

Party Table

Welcome to my super simple Undertale DIY Party table. More black was needed for this super dark game. Layering several black plastic table cloths with a sheer spider tablecloth I usually use for Halloween. I found this adorable halloween house at target this year which fit so perfectly on the Undertale DIY Party table. (Far right). The finishing touch other then food was to find all my fake yellow flowers and scatter them all over the table. Just like the beginning of the game where Frisk landed in a bed of yellow flowers. Genius.

I wanted to keep the background of my table very dark so all the colors of the printables and food would stand out.

This is the left side of the table, you’ll find a Spider Bake sale with Spider donuts, hand iced my myself with spider web icing. My “Sticks” are crunchy breadsticks. Upfront of the table are my Snowman piece mini donuts, Glam burger cookies and Butterscotch Pies are actually apple pies, Butterscotch pies are surprisingly hard to find.

My Right side of my table displayed my Virtue heart favors and Monster candy (Because this is a Halloween party for me). You’ll need an abandoned quiche of course and Temmie Flakes for your Undertale Party Table. Every party needs cupcakes and This Undertale DIY Party table has 13 characters as cupcake toppers and 4 different cupcake Liners.

The Main event at this Undertale DIY party was this amazing cake by Jaime’s Cakes in Ocoee FL. You can find his Cake toppers online if your looking for some of your own.

Here is how I made my own DIY Dragonball Z Party. This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

Creating this look was pretty fun and super easy for you to replicate. I first hung my favorite galaxy tapestry and filled the top with orange and blue pinwheels. There didnt seem to be enough orange so we added orange tissue poms and star banners to help add more texture to the set up. My show stopper Dragon is a printable you can make at home! Top everything off with my Dragonball Z Alphabet Banner.

I decided to create a Dragonball Z Baby shower for my set up. I loved the idea of “Your wish is granted” from the dragon.

“The Legend, as I was told, goes something like this. In the beginning there was only one Dragon Ball. It was huge. I mean REALLY huge, it had to be. It held all of the mystical energies of the universe. An ancient tribe discovered it, and was inspired by its magnificent power. They built a shrine around it, and protected the orb by placing it in the mouth of a giant Dragon statue, said to be its eternal guardian. You should have seen the detail on this thing, it was INCREDIBLE, scales made of Ruby, teeth of pearl—speaking of pearl, they say there was this one native girl (“GET ON WITH IT!”)—yes, well, the tribe enjoyed years of prosperity until one day, evil paid a visit to the village in the form of a band of thieves. These agents of Darkness stormed the temple in an attempt to steal the Dragon Ball for their own selfish gain. They were shocked to discover the true power of the Ball. To ensure such an attack never happened again, the Dragon Ball was divided into seven smaller orbs, and scattered across the globe. Separately, the Dragon Balls were useless, but when all seven were united, then a single voice could summon the Eternal Dragon for one wish, and one wish only. Some wishes were pure, but others were tainted by blind ambition. This led to pain and suffering as an unjust few wished for power and dominion over mankind. But as the story goes there will one day come a hero who will use the Dragon Balls for goodness, and bring peace and unity to the world once more.”

Party Table

My Husband grew up on Dragonball Z so I was so pleased to have his input of this Dragonball Z Baby Shower table. I used a rusted orange curtain to use as a table cloth so the colors wouldn’t compete with the other oranges on the table. We broke up the table with a royal blue plastic (Dollar Tree) table cloth and my gold table runner. Instead of flowers I decided to include the tissue paper poms in the back of the table too. Spread all over the display are all 7 Dragonballs! Something fun to include in a Dragonball party is a hunt to find all the dragonballs.

Table Decorations

The Left side of the table I displayed Potstickers/ Dumplings and Goten favorite treat, Strawberry Daifuku. Behind Bulma I put edamame pods in a cute dish to make the magic beans from the Dragonball Z cartoons.

The right side of the table has more desserts! Red Bean Mochis are one of my favorite treats so I included them quite a bit.

I LOVE working with other small Businesses! Check out this amazing cake from Jaimes Bakery (Winter Garden, Orlando FL Area). He decorated this adorable cake to match my Dragonball Z Baby Shower theme! It matched perfectly with the cute Dragonball Z cupcake Toppers and Dragonball Z Cupcake liners. So be sure to checkout his facebook page and let him work is cake magic on you!

Welcome to my Hocus Pocus Party! This theme is so much fun for a spooky Birthday, Baby Shower or Halloween Party. Channel your inner Sanderson Sister and learn how you can make your own DIY Hocus Pocus Party for your event.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

My Hocus Pocus party backdrop is a basic purple tablecloth (Dollar Tree). I used chalk to make a outline for my potion smoke effect. You can find the tissue pom poms at Dollar Tree, I cut them in half to make double the amount. to highlight texture and “bubbles” I add balloons and a star banner (wish). Top everything with my I smell a child Banner.

Party Table

I decided to keep my table front simple. I used a plastic black tablecloth (Dollar Tree) and a spider web fabric table cloth in a triangle. Adding a shine with a copper circle banner (Dollar Tree) worked so nicely. The top of the party table filled up quickly, but if you look closely you can see my silver place mats.

Table Decorations

Table decorations are one of my passions. From left to right, add tombstones!! the Sanderson sisters spent so much time in cemeteries they work so perfectly. Help elevate your party food or décor try adding books that fit the theme. This black cool looking one is actually Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. Nestled in between the Hocus Pocus cupcakes and Black Flame Candle you can see a character cutout of Sarah Sanderson. My Black Flame candle is the easiest Hocus Pocus decoration and super affordable! The candle is black (Dollar Tree) and I created a printable you can Modge-podge the paper right to your candle. I found it needed to be higher on the table so I flipped a wine glass and hid the base with flowers. Sitting in front are the official Hocus Pocus cookies (Target).

You need pumpkins on your Hocus Pocus party table so I added some little ones I picked up from a local pumpkin patch. Another tombstone evened out the table. You’ll also need a BOOOooooOOOoook to complete your table. You can find your own spellbook in my shop, Its available in Sketchbook and notebook. The right side of the table held more sweets! Including witch popcorn mix (Target) topped with witch hats (Dollar Tree), and a huge chocolate cauldron (Harry Potter World). My table also included little Thank you Cauldrons for kids to take home.

I had a special guest during this party! No Ordinary Balloon Man came and made me a Binx Balloon for the table! His name is Bruce and he’s available in Orlando, FL and the surrounding areas! Just look at how cute Binx is! I used old books so show him off behind everything else. He also made a Witch broom for my little toddler witch!

My Centerpiece

Now to what every DIY Hocus Pocus Party needs, A BLACK CAULDRON! I found this cute one from Target, It came with this perfect green slime potion punch!

Decorations

Backdrop

I am in love with this look! Everything started with a brown plastic table cloth (Party City), added a wood look to make the door effect. Then I taped the door knockers to finish off the effect. The theme of my baby shower was the crystal ball scene, I used various gold tone balloons and paper chandeliers (Dollar Tree, painted white) to create a elegant feel. I found all my pearls and strung them up just like the movie! Michaels had the perfect “Bubbles” (Plastic iridescent ornaments) to tie everything together.

Party Table

My Party table was based on Sarah’s Crystal Ball gown. I cinched the white table cloth in the center and draped the grey table cloth over. (Both from Party City). Adding the gold table runner was a after thought that I though would be just the right touch, and was right. Instead of the empty grey I layered a lace curtain topped with gold vinyl place mats. (Also party city, I couldn’t resist).

Table Decorations

For my party table I wanted sweet treats like a elegant tea party. I created a crystal clear cupcake stand. Awesome DIY project. I used old books as plates to add color to my table and to reference the movie. Don’t eat the peach Sarah!!! I had to include peaches in my party set up and the branches were PERFECT (Michaels). All over the table you’ll find gold statues of each of the main characters. These are giant playing pieces for the Labyrinth game. Super cool find!

Decorations

Backdrop

For my backdrop I wanted to channel the jungle of Jurassic Park. I used my textured green throw blanket as the topper, and draped it to the sides. I created a Jurassic Park Logo custom name sign to display on top. Then, Behind everything I hung a green (Dollar Store) table cloth with light green streamers to make stripes. I was pretty pleased with how everything turned out. My daughter found these fake flowers when we were out shopping and brought them home, I decided to add them to the backdrop to add to the baby shower look. I finished everything off with my new “Life finds a way” banner.

Party Table

My party table was the jeep from Jurassic Park! I was inspired by Pinterest and wanted to pull it off so you could too! I started with a black (Dollar tree) Table cloth over the whole table. I then draped a gold (Dollar Tree) table cloth over the middle, Just enough for the Jeep print out. I free-handed JP09 on the “hood” of the Jeep. To complete the look I tried to create the windows of the jeep but they turned out too tall. (LOL) Maybe you’ll have better luck.

Nightmare Before Christmas Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party for all my little Nightmares. I settled my party right around Halloween, The perfect time to have a DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party!

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

my party backdrop was inspired from a post I found on Instagram! they had the most amazing black and white stripes for their party. I wanted to imitate that look for my event too! So to make the look I used black and white streamers from the Dollar Tree. The Banner is from my shop! you can purchase it here! The banner says “This is\n Halloween”. I picked up some floating ghosts from the dollar tree too. Nice and simple for such a great impact.

Party Table

My main party table was so much fun to put together. I found the orange and black stripe table cloth from the dollar section of target. The super cute pumpkin table runner is from party city. I pushed the table all the way up to the backdrop to keep the stripes going. I had a prize table too! this one I decorated with a basic black rectangle table cloth and a round white table cloth from the dollar tree. Right before the party I cut up the round white one to look like a spider web. I love the effect and how it turned out!

Table Decorations

Since my party was a real party this time I kept the table mostly empty to accommodate my guest dishes. My main centerpiece was my Sally Jar luminaries, which I turned into flower vases for the party. You can make your own using this tutorial. Most of my other decorations came from the Dollar Tree. Super simple and on budget. My favorite thing to purchase right now are things that work for multiple holidays. Like my Pumpkin Centerpiece is going to make a splash at my Thanksgiving this year! Since my theme was Nightmare before Christmas I used my printable Christmas gift cupcake liners, which in my opinion turned out amazing! I love how they looked with the bright Halloween frosting. My plates are from Party City’s 25th Nightmare before Christmas party line!

Food

DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party Menu:

• Halloween Cupcakes! (Publix)
• Caramel Corn (fresh from the farmers market)
• Chips

I wanted to keep this party nice and simple and let my guests get creative with their food. Something fun to plan for your own party is a potluck party with a spooky food prize.

This party fashion was so much fun to plan! To match our Nightmare before Christmas theme my husband and I dressed up as Jack and Sally. For Guine’s second Halloween she is dressing up as what we thing Jack and Sally’s baby would look like!

I found this amazing outfit on wish and customizing it to exactly what I was looking for using a sharpie. The best part of the evening was when Guine first saw Aaron she was like… NO! and she wouldn’t even look at him. Of course he had a bald cap and full make up on. I got all the cuddles. Did you dress your baby up from Nightmare before Christmas? Share your photos with my on Facebook and Instagram! I would love to see and share!

Here is how I made my own DIY Gravity Falls Party. This was a surprisingly easy party to set up which is such a nice change of pace. I chose to throw this mock party for Mabel and Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls! It’s their mock 13th Birthday party for the end of Summer! This type of party would be so much for a set of twins!

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

Gravity falls is one of my favorite Cartoons! Just in general. So of course this was the theme to tie up the summer months! In my research for a party I noticed a lot of greens and forest themed Gravity Falls party and not so much Weirdmageton parties! So that was my theme! The main banner is a repurposed book (destroyed in the great merlin puppy days) and a large freehand Bill Cipher drawing! I sketched out the design first and then went in with a extra large sharpie. Then decided to make my very first balloon banner frame from Dollar Tree balloons ($3) total. To make this I went with two normal 25 packs and one 10 count marble pack to create the “bubbles of pure madness”. The finishing touch was my Happy Birthday Gravity Falls Banner (which is available in my shop).

Party Table

Working from the Bottom up my DIY Gravity Falls Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I started with my trusty Space tapestry from my Doctor Who Party and draped it over my small table. Topped the table off with a plastic black table cloth (dollar tree) as my table runner to protect my space cover. The front of the table looked bear so we decorated the front of the table with one of my star cutout banners (wish). Very simple table but it gave the “it came from outer space” theme that I wanted.

Table Decorations

My table decor was simple and fun to make. I had almost everything on hand. From left to right:

I DIYd a centerpiece and used my yellow flowers from my Legend of Zelda party. Yellow for Bill, my Muse! To display my Gravity Falls Cupcakes, my trusty wood circle cupcake display. This display works for so many themes its crazy not to have one on hand if you like throwing parties. I pulled out my bag of moss and pinecones and the left was set. On the right side of the table I unearthed my wooden bows to display a small amount of food (remember this is a mock display). Showcasing my Gravity falls Place cards/ food labels. I printed a Extra large label for my “Mabel Juice” and bought a watermelon just so I could carve it into a Summer-ween Jack-o-melon! This was my favorite part! and it was so easy! I finished off the table with a couple of my Bill Cipher Favor Boxes!

My Centerpiece

Inspired by the Jar of Eyes on Grunkle Stans’ desk in the Mystery Shack, I created my Centerpiece. Since the end of summer is basically halloween I had no trouble finding fake eyeballs at the Dollar Tree. The vase was from publix and the flowers I had on hand. This whole piece cost me $5. It would have been amazing if I had put the money tag on the bottle. But I wanted to leave something for you to do for your party!

Food

DIY Gravity Falls Party Menu:

• Rainbow Cupcakes! I topped mine off with Cream cheese frosting and star sprinkles
• Dipper Smores: its not summer without Smore’s.
• Smile Dip (Fun Dip): here is my custom template to match the theme of the party!
• Bill Chips: Cool Ranch Doritos
• Mabel Juice: Kept mine simple: Pink 7up. To add some fair I added watermelon juice and chucks! Want to make real Mabel Juice? heres how! From FEAST OF FICTION  S5 • E9
• Summer-ween Watermelon: to make this I used a medium size watermelon. Next I drew my intended face with sharpie and then carved a whole in the side. (I chose the side so I could stand the watermelon up and scoop. Then did just that, until most of the watermelon was out. ( Stored all of the pink watermelon in a Pitcher). Once mostly empty I cut out the face. Thats it. Inside I placed a Small Dollar tree candle. Happy Summer-ween everyone!

Here is how I made my own DIY Harry Potter Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Harry Potter Party for all my little wizard in training. This party set up was a future Baby Shower in the making! My Friend since Disney is having a Baby! I have the honor of decorating for her Harry Potter theme Baby shower.  I chose a Hogwarts theme for my DIY Harry Potter Party to play of the idea of the primary colors and the Kiddy Crests.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

For this party set up I decided to go with color blocks of Blue, Yellow, Green and Red, to represent the Hogwarts houses. I bought (Dollar Tree) table clothes in the correct colors and cut them to size. I hung them from my usual curtain rod. The Harry Potter Banner is available in my shop. The Kiddy Crests are available in my shop at well. I happened to have extra large construction paper, which i cut to make the banners. I glued the crests to the Banners. Worked and looked great!

Tablescape

This DIY Harry Potter Hogwarts Party table was also the easiest I have had yet. Simple yet effective. The Table was topped with (in this order) a cheap yellow table cloth, Harry Potter Banners from Target, and Ripped pages of a old destroyed book. I used a small desk to display everything on, and I liked this for a small amount of food I had to display.

For the main decor I borrowed some Harry Potter theme items to really pump up the nerdiness of the display. From Bottom to top: The Mirror is borrowed from a friend of mine and the Books we had on hand of course! The Nursery frames of the Houses are from my shop (Link) and the treasure chest (wizard Chest) is from a previous party. I filled the Chest with wands and a giant snitch fold out (Borrowed from a friend). The Chest Also held my custom made Invitations. Moving up the Dougie Banner is from the Ravenclaw Banner set, which matches the top banner. To display the food I used wood cut pieces (which i DIY into a cupcake stand from my Where the Wild things are Baby Shower) and several glass display wear I have on hand. Behind the Sorting hat cupcakes I put Potion Bottles ( You can download the potion labels here) in different colors to make them pop.

My Centerpiece

My main Center Piece is the Hogwarts house cups. Each tall hurricane vase is filled to various hights to show which house is winning. In this set up its a tie between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. I filled the vases with un-popped popcorn cernals (that I had dyed with food coloring) and found the perfect ribbon at the Dollar Tree. Carefully I tied a cute little bow around each one and topped them with the small version of my Hogwarts Crest (which can be found here in my shop). The Dollar tree has a large assortment of different flowers so I was able to find different color flowers, I think each one describes a different part of the Hogwarts house its representing.

To the far right are some other perfect props I borrowed including a small stuffed owl, a crystal Ball (That Lights up) and a Ravenclaw Tiara. I also included a dragon egg?, Mostly because I really liked it and I feel it really balanced the Wizard chest on the floor.

Food

DIY Harry Potter Party Menu:

• Sorting hat Cupcakes- Jumbo Chocolate Cupcakes with M&Ms in the center, Topped with Fudge Frosting.
• Honey dukes Candy- Chocolate Frogs, and Every Flavor Jelly Beans.

DIY Favors & Gifts:

For Favors I decided on Potions. I found these adorable colored Hand Sanitizer bottles. 1$ for a pack of three. I created custom potion labels (which you can download here). Perfect for a baby shower. Another possible favor would be the Honeydukes candy. Either a Chocolate Frog or the Every flavor jelly beans would be so much fun to get. I found my free, so I’ll give mine for free. You can download the Jellybean box Here and the chocolate frog box Here. I hope you enjoy!

For Gifts I wanted to share my Nursery prints with the new mommy. They make the perfect gift for a new baby wall. I am also planning on giving my new wizard mom a set of Harry potter milestone stickers. So she can celebrate Harry Potter every month with her new baby.

Fashion

This baby Shower is going to be so much fun for us fashion wise. I have a brand new shirt from Nerd Under the stairs! It says Swish and Flick on it with a feather! How cute is that! I’m pairing it with my black gold dust skirt and some simple black flats. I really wanted the shirt to pop.

Guine is wearing a dress inspired by Hermione Grangers winter dance dress. I found it at my local Once upon a Child. She looks so cute!

Here is how I made my own DIY Doctor Who Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Doctor Who Party for all my little Doctor Who fans. This party set up was a future party in the making! Little Eliza just turned one and came to visit us here in Florida! Sadly the party wasn’t ready for her so I made it for her 2nd Birthday! I chose a Galaxy theme for my DIY Doctor Who Party to add a little Whimsy and color to the set up.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

The Backdrop of my party set up has been the easiest so far! While party supply shopping I found these wonderful Galaxy tapestries on amazon and it was perfect! I was able to attach it to the wall using push pins. I added adorable yellow gold star garland. They were long so I only used two out of the three I purchased. Very Simple! I loved the effect it had with the Tardis cabinet. The most important part of the backdrop was the Printable Banner you can purchase in my online store.

Tablescape

This DIY Doctor Who Party table was also the easiest I have had yet. Simple yet effective. The Table was topped the table with three different table cloths from either Dollar Tree or Target (Party Section) topped with silver star confetti from the Dollar Tree. I used my party dishes and found a very pretty mirror plate to add some gold to the table while thrift shopping the weekend before. While doing some party shopping I found this throwback from when I was young, Gold Small Star Garland. I wrapped the garland around some of the display plates and to the area around the Tardis Cabinet. It was a nice easy way to make your dishes look themed.

To hold the cutlery I used the recycled vegetable cans from my last party because I feel they still fit the theme. If you didn’t already know this about me, I am an UCF Alumni with a bachelors in Fine Art and Animation. So of course I have a Human Skull model on hand. So I threw that on the table to highlight a few episodes of Doctor Who. I used the Navi Lights from the Legend of Zelda set up to wrap around my Tardis with some fabric I had on hand. Just scraps of clear shimmer fabric from when I made Tinkerbell wings for Dapper Day.

Food

I usually only do about 6 different party foods to show off (and fill) the table but for some reason we ended up with 8. I wanted something easy and simple to eat for the main dish. Of course! Pizza. I’m going to make a pizza and decorated it like a Tardis, or a Dalek or something. Yeah right.. Turned around at it was time to set up the party. Frozen Pizza it is I chose a 5 cheese plain pizza and opted to add the pepperiness in a “spacey” pattern. It ended up being a spiral. Oh well.

Next fun thing were the DIY Doctor Who Party Vortex cupcakes. They were originally meant to be beautiful galaxy cupcakes. But for some reason (I totally learned why just this past weekend) my frosting keeps falling flat. So thats why they are now Vortex cupcakes. Still cool with the sprinkles and still tasted really good. I chose Blue velvet cake mix to add a little more space to them. Those were the main events for the party and I’m going to make making a Cooking with Me video on the making of all this party food.

The Drinks on the other hand, worked really well with the display. My Husband collects decanters and I decided to borrow them for the table. They paired so well with the fancy plastic cups from the Dollar Tree.

DIY Doctor Who Party Menu:

• Spiral Pizza– Frozen 5 Cheese Pizza with double layer Pepperonis placed in a spiral.
• Vortex Cupcakes- Galaxy Cupcakes failed and turned into vortex cupcakes
• Chocolate Dipped Bananas– Frozen Bananas dipped in chocolate topped with blue and gold Sugar Gel
• Fish sticks with Custard– Snickerdoodle Cookies with Banana Dream Pudding
• Galaxy Lollipops: Sparko Sweets Galaxy Lollipops Spiral Designs with Space Foil Gift Pack, 10 Lollipops, Handcrafted in USA, 1 Pound
• Chocolate Stars: I used a star silicone mold and Milk Chocolate chips
• Jelly Babies: Jumbo size Gummy Bears (Dollar Tree)
• Drinks: Blue Hawaiian punch

DIY Favors & Gifts:

DIY Sonic Bubbles

I had a lot of fun with favors to say the least. If you have been to the dollar tree recently (Spring 2018) they have these small bubble vials with little circle stickers on top. I snagged a few of those to make some custom stickers for Favors.  You can also get them from this Amazon link (Bullet Bubble Tube (1.4 x 5.1 x 1 inches) (Orange)I present Sonic Bubbles! this Printable comes with three kinds of sonic screwdriver stickers to apply to your bubble tubes. I originally tried it with my sticker paper but it had a hard time sticking once the bubbles started to get used so I coated the whole sticker in clear packing tape and it worked! so cute! I love them!

DIY Toy Blocks

For this party I decided to make a little DIY gift Idea using this DIY Toy Blocks Printable. You just need 8, 2 inch wooden Blocks (I found mine at Michaels) and some Modge Podge. The printable has a tiny bit of wiggle room to make them line up. The Blocks turned out so cute! Im going to be making a little tutorial for everyone so don’t you worry! This was a easy and adorable little gift idea for the new Timelord in your life. Here is a Amazon link for 16 blocks! enough to make two set! (WOOD BLOCKS (16PCS. WITH FREE COLORED MARKERS), 2″ WOODEN CRAFT BLOCKS, HARDWOODS, MADE IN USA, BY CROSSROAD SALES)

Fashion

DIY Doctor Who Party fashion is so much fun to play with. My fashion was a little casual for this party. I wore my new favorite “The Stars, cant do it, not today” tee from Nerd Under the Stairs. Paired with a mid length yellow pleated skirt, WITH POCKETS!.

Over that for my cooking and most of my set up I got to wear the beautiful Tardis Apron from Made from Oz on Etsy! Both of these shops are so amazing and I feel you should totally go check them out!

My Guinevere had an equally casual outfit for the DIY Doctor Who Party. I found these adorable puffy Royal Blue top with Gold spots at my Local Once upon a child. The yellow shorts were also found during that shopping trip too. So many fun possibilities for a little Timebaby. I topped off the whole outfit with a hat of my very own. It’s a little Tardis top hat that Bought maybe… 5 years ago. The light still worked and everything! I attached it to a elastic and placed it on her head. With some back and forth I finally achieved some photos. She’s starting to get into that always moving no matter what phase. Does anyone know how long that lasts or how to pause it for a second to take a photo? let me know!

Thank you so much for joining me on my little Wibbley Wobbley Timey Whimy DIY Doctor Who Party.
