'90s photo booth props

The last time I posted about Kenzie's '90s party, I showed you the back drop for her photo booth. Today I want to show you where and how to get the props to go with it.

I'm not sure what fox and cat masks have to do with the '90s, but the kids loved them.

You can order specifically '90's themed props from etsy. Basically you download the templates, print them out and then glue them to card stock. Once dry, you add a wooden dowel and you are done.

Another option is too use free printables like I did.

Bit of Happiness offers printable bow ties, animal faces and top hats.

Personal Creations is where I got the fox mask from.

I'm sure there are probably more options on the world wide web, but the above were my favorites. I hope this helps you execute your '90s party, or any other fun event for that matter. Let me know how it goes.

Salty Fresh Splatter Paint Backdrop

I meant to get this post done last week, but better late than never. This is the splatter paint backdrop we made for Kenzie's 90's party. It was so easy to make, I let the kids do the work.

All you need to make the backdrop are: 

• a white t-shirt flat sheet (Target had them on clearance for $9.99 per set)
• neon poster paints
• a paper plate to use as a palate 
• paint brushes to splatter the paint with

Simply choose your colors and then put them on the paper plate. Dip a pain brush into the paint and then flick it over the sheet. Repeat until you are happy with the design. Just make sure to rinse your brush between colors so that you don't get streaks that look like baby poop. 

You can even add a fun '90's saying to the top of your backdrop as well. Kenzie chose to combine 2 different ones, Salty and Fresh. 

Love my silly girls. 

Hope you have fun making your backdrops. I hope you will share the results in the comments.

Fortune Teller Party Banner

Do you remember the paper fortune tellers that we used to make as kids? Pick a color, spell it. Then pick a number and count it out. Ending with a final number pick that revealed the fortune of who you liked, who liked you or some other random thing your friends came up with.

I'm going to be honest. I was never coordinated enough to fold them as a kid. I could never cut the paper into a perfect square, so the folds would over lap, and I would get frustrated and give up. As an adult, I finally learned how to make them by watching this video.

Why did I learn to do this as an adult, you ask? So that I could make the birthday banner for Kenzie's 90's birthday party, of course. That's right folks, it's Thursday, and as I promised I am about to share with you the weekly 90's party DIY idea.

What you will need
8x8-inch colored printer paper
hole puncher
yarn

Directions

1. Fold your paper into fortunes using the video link above. The number of fortunes you use will depend on the length of your banner. 
2. Using the hole puncher, punch holes into the inside center of each fortune teller. 
3. Thread 8-inch lengths if yarn through the holes and tie at the top so that your fortunes will dangle off of the base string. 
4. Determine where you want to hang your banner. Drape a strand of yarn across the area so that you know how long to cut it. 
5. Tie the fortune tellers onto the base strand of yarn.

Voila! Easy 90's banner for your party. 

I made too many paper fortunes. We used some of the extras to decorate around the candy jars on the table. The girls also wrote on them and turned it into a truth or dare game for their slumber party. Get creative and let me know how it goes.
