POKEMON BIRTHDAY POSTER CRAFT!

POKEMON! GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

At least, catch all our favorites. There are a lot of Pokemon. Like over 700, I think.
The kids wanted a Pokemon Party with some of their favorites "to catch". The toys are kinda pricey, so this Mommy made some Pokemon posters instead! They look pretty good on the kids playroom wall.

Pokemon Poster Craft, Pikachu and Mew

Pokemon Poster Craft, MewTwo, Shiny Butterfree, Servine, and Land Shaymin

Pokemon Poster Craft, Shiny Vaporeon, Articuno, and Moltres

Pokemon Poster Craft, Haunter and Charizard

Pokemon Poster Craft, Gyarados and Zapdos

My daughter yelling at Gyarados

To make the cutting template, first, find a good image of the Pokemon.
Remove the color, leaving just the lines.
Divided the image into 8.5 x 11 sized sections.
Cut the image into those sections so you can print each section on a piece of paper.
Tape printed sections together.
Cut out the shapes with their corresponding colors. I used dollar store posters, colored paper, and card stock.
Glued them together on a black poster or foam board. (I used spray glue.)
Cut the outline shape of the Pokemon.
I finished by spraying a little clear coat on them.

I made them big because cutting big pieces is easier than cutting tiny pieces.

I'm gonna make some PDF files of the templates for the next post.

Our homemade DIY ANGRY BIRDS Garland in the girls' ANGRY BIRDS Game inspired playroom

This is the last of four posts. In order to make dual sided Angry Bird Christmas ornaments and Angry Bird Garland, I first had to create mirrored images of Angry Birds (isolated on white, png).
Since I made so many of them (40 Angry Birds themed 2 faced printables), and because they are useful for other Angry Bird craft projects, I just had to share them!

The images have been left individual, so you can mix & match your favorite birds & pigs to meet your home project needs.
Choose from 40 mirrored image printable s from all 4 group posts: ANGRY BIRD Boys, Misses & the Piggies, Space, & Star Wars.

To make garland or ornaments:
1. Print your favorite characters on paper or card stock.
2. Fold in half, check alignment of front & back images, then Cut them out.
3. Open & them re fold over a string (for garland) or a hook or rubber band (for ornaments). We used colorful hair elastics.
4. Glue or tape the halves together.
5. Hang your ornaments or garland & enjoy!

Has your holiday gone to the birds this year? So has ours!

ANGRY BIRDS Themed Playroom with DIY Angry Bird Garland Printable Decor Pink & White Girl Birds

At 4 & 6 years old, our daughters are deep in the trenches of their first fan obsession.Thank goodness Mommy & Daddy are liking these birds too. ( I enjoy any excuse to flex my creative muscle.) We've been making quite a variety of festive home spun ANGRY BIRDS decor & play stuff this year. We threw an ANGRY BIRDS themed Birthday party with some design originals. We remolded a play room with DIY painted walls with ANGRY BIRDS game background. We've crafted play money, poster sized birds, costume jewelry, "trading" cards, lunch notes, awards, & more. We'll be sharing our creations & adventures with you through this blog. So follow us, and we'll have fun being Bird fans together!

Now on to the post.

Often inspiration strikes with little time to complete the project. With a fast approaching holiday, I have had to cut a few corners to make "deadline" lol. So, the printable images ahead vary a bit in size.
The girls wanted Angry Bird Christmas ornaments and I wanted Angry Bird Garland. To fill that order, I first had to create mirrored images of Angry Birds (isolated on white, png).

Angry Birds Style Homemade Birthday Party Hats
FREE TEMPLATE PRINTABLE in PNG

King Pig Style Gold Crown Party Hat Template &
Girl Red Bird Style Yellow Bow Party Hat Template

CAT wants an Angry Bird birthday party this year. Being on a tight budget, I always start researching & planning months in advance. Today we made some test party hats. I created a simple & cute design featuring a girl bird yellow bow & a boy pig gold crown. I thought maybe some of you might could use them too.

Here are the hats. I printed them on 8.5" x 11" white card stock. I used the fast draft setting, so the image is light, but I save on ink. That stuff is too expensive!

I also use packing tape on paper crafts that I want to last more than a day with our 2 rambunctious little girls! That is why they are shiny.

Quick view of the designs I came up with. Though I didn't see these anywhere, I wouldn't doubt that this style is made somewhere!

Here are the full-size free printable angry birds style party hats that I created in Microsoft Paint. Print each out on 1 sheet of paper or card-stock for a standard sized party hat. OR print TWO per Page for a smaller "fascinator" style hat. SUPER CUTE! Cut out, roll into cone, glue or tape together at joint, hole punch for strings to tie or elastic thread, & Enjoy!

So they were a big hit with the girls. Maybe we'll use this style, but I do have some other designs in mind to test. ;)

Easy Simple Paint Ideas for a small Girl's Playroom, Castle & Landscape

So the hubby is nearing the end of replacing the ceiling & some walls in the girls playroom. I have been busy sketching out ideas to paint on their walls. The room before wasn't bed, but I' not gonna pass up an opportunity to make it even more fun!
Here is there room before:

There is a lot crammed into 7.5' x 12'. The major pieces of play furniture will stay. Moving out the large wood desk. Lots of artwork on the walls & some damaged posters that are ready to retire. Time for a refresh!
Entire home floor plan below with playroom out to right.

Since the space is small & only has 1 window, I want to create depth with light colors. I also want the design to be flexible for many years of changing fads for them. AND I want it to be simple to paint! Is that asking too much?
I have asked CAT & DOT what they want. Castle & Angry Birds! OK, time to brainstorm.
Here is my outline of the blank walls. I repeated the smaller side walls A & C so I could gt a feel for how the design will wrap around the room.

Did I cut & paste pictures of the actual toys from the girls room? Yes I did! lol
The programs that I used are Microsoft Paint & PrintMaster 2011, a gift from my Mother in Law, TY :)
Most of the work could be done on Paint only.
So now on to Angry Birds first. They have cool backgrounds. Here are my favorites that I cleaned up with Paint.

I like the grass & sky theme. It is adaptable & playful. The striped sky with 2 colors of blue was an early YES for the design.
But the grass on these seemed too complicated. I found these images:

I like the simple broad stripes that give depth & are easier to paint. So I combined them & came up with this.

Perfect shapes! (We'll get picky with color later) We can hang Angry Birds or castles or trees or whatever!

Now onto the castle. CAT & DOT want a pink castle. I want to make a costume closet for their many costumes. So a castle wall/room will be the perfect princess backdrop.
Searched all over the web. Castle walls that are simple are hard to find. I had to design my own. Yeah! :)
I picked out an irregular stone pattern (to look old castle like) that was square, easy to paint with tape!

The grey picture I redrew out to the pink wall on Microsoft Paint. I liked the pink stone with light pink mortar the best.
The wall is a great backdrop, but I needed a transition to the sky & grass. I tried balconies, windows, broken stone. None looked right or were easy to paint. After several days & dozens of drawings I finally decided on simple towers. Here are the best one I found for easy painting.

I settled on the rounded top. Here I experimented with width & wrap around design.

I haven't put a sun in the design because I may put one on the ceiling or make one to hang on the wall.

Ok let's refine the design next post! See ya then :)

Dirt poor, but the glass is half full.

Small isolated town, very low income, can a mommy still be creative & happy? You betcha!

Have you ever searched for design ideas for small spaces & on a shoestring budget? The results are mostly medium to large spaces with modest to large budgets. Quite frustrating for someone like me. Where do you find practical advice for decorating a 690 square foot 43 year old mobile home? You don't find much. A tiny home & yard for a busy husband & creative mother of 2 young girls is a challenge to maximize efficiency & beauty.A challenge that I enjoy & I will share with you.
With these hard economic times, I'm sure I'm not the only one living on way less than before. Maybe this blog can help or inspire some of you to make the most of what you have. After all, life is happening now. Don't waste it wanting another. Someone else would appreciate to have all that you have. Let's have fun!

So I'm gonna start by laying out our floor plan. An accurate plan is crucial to decorating space for me. Every place I have ever lived, tiny apartment to suburb house, I've drawn up the plans for it. Have to know what you are working with to maximize it's use.

I hand drew this plan on three sheets of graph paper glued to poster board & then foam board. It is about 13" x 26". The furniture is drawn on graph paper then glued to stiff board (like a Ritz box) then cut out. That way I can move the pieces around.
We bought this 1969 mobile home, with addition, 4 years agofor $2000. It was a mess. We completely gutted & rebuilt the kitchen & bathroom with Home Depot sales. It took about 2 years to get it normal.
Currently my husband is replacing walls & ceiling in the addition. That gives me a new opportunity to re paint the girl's playroom. Lots of ideas in mind. We'll cover them next post!
