Inspiration: Since I'd already done a cupcake and balloons, I figured the next thing I needed was a party hat! Plus the shiny paper really makes this look neat!
How I Make Them: This one uses another scrapbooking template I've had. (There's no number or manufacturer listed on them, all I can tell you is that I have about a dozen plastic pages that are glittery purple with multiple shapes on them and that each sheet seems to be themed). I trace the party hat template on the back of the shiny paper and cut it out. I glue the hat to the card, usually at a slight angle. Then I cut little confetti shapes out of scrap paper pieces, trying to stick with brighter colors like neons. I randomly glue the confetti shapes to the hat, sometimes overlapping pieces. Finally, I write "Happy Birthday" on the front and "May your special day be lots of fun!" on the inside.
Alternatives:
- If I didn't have the shiny paper, I'd just use a plain solid color for the main hat and complementary colors for the confetti pieces.
- This idea can be used for party invitations.
- I might use this sometime for an "Over the Hill" birthday with a black hat and a number cut out in white. It might be cute.
