Happy Birthday Emma!

2 weeks ago, we had a birthday party conducted at our craft center, Craft Space, located at The School Jaya One.

Those who know me knows I always like to personalize everything! From apparels to accessories to parties! Yes, parties! I have been decorating my kids parties since they are born!

Emma's party is no exception! Especially since it will be done at our own craft center! It would be such a waste not to decorate it, wouldn't it?! I mean...it is something I'm passionate about & I love the look of a happy kid! So, I've decided to throw in a little surprise for our birthday gal...

Since the decoration will be a surprise, I had to be very careful when getting information from Emma's mom. I asked about her age...Mommy told me to get some helium balloons to make the center more like a party...with 3 colors: Red, Pink & Yellow...

So, with the limited information, I tried to see what we can do...

Firstly, I need a backdrop...so We DIY the backdrop with simple wordings, together with the birthday gal's name. Since she is a girl, I put up flowers & butterflies on the backdrop. Lots of flowers & butterflies...

This is how the backdrop looks like when it is done...

Rainbow colored Roses on top of the backdrop, daisies of Red, Pink & Yellow are all over the backdrop & little butterflies of contrast colors! 

Oh, I even made a tiny tiara with blings...did you see it? I placed it on the top right hand side of the letter A in Emma!

Since we have decided to pick flowers as the theme, we also decorated the entrance to the party area with lots of flowers made from Chenille Stem...this is what we have done...

Oh! I even decorated the entrance with a fake cake...it has Emma's name on it too!

At the other side where the food is, I placed a huge Happy Birthday Banner on the wall. I also put up words "Emma is 4"

At the 11th hour, a day before the party, we noticed that 1 of the cabinets at the entrance to the party area is very empty...so we cut out teddy bears & lots of balloons using foam to decorate it. We also put up some bear paw prints...this can be the photo booth for the kids!

OK...now we wait for the party to start!

Food area is all setup & ready!

Party started with kids having fun with beads!

It is fun watching kids putting effort to complete a task, especially at their young age. It was our honor to have Emma here at Craft Space too!

Hope the birthday girl had a blast with the party & love the little surprises that we have put up for her big party! 😊😊😊

Mission accomplished! 

16th Week of Craft Activities (17 May 2015)

This week, we taught kids how to DIY their own special Desktop Organizer.

Here are some sample idea how they can design their perfect Desktop Organizer! We have different shapes to begin with...triangle, square, circle...

Then we have different colors to choose from...either they can choose the plain colored popsicle sticks or they can choose the colored popsicle sticks. Personally, I like the plain ones better as I think it bribgs out the decorations.

Some desktop organizers can even allow kids to put up their photos on it! Let's see if you can identify which one...

Well, let's hope kids love what they make! 

15th Week of Craft Activities (10 May 2015)

Today is Mother's Day. We are making tiaras for mommies! What better ways to tell mom she is the Queen of our heart, right?

We made the tiara with foam. Kids can choose their preferred design, then decorate the tiara with lots of rhinestones & flowers...hm...I have mote kids doing this for themselves rather than for moms...lol

Oh, we also made double heart wand for mommy too!

Here are some of our samples...

And, those kids that made mommy the tiara & heart wand will receive a special gift from us too! We gave away a smaller heart shaped wand to the kids PLUS a hand crochet flower to the mommies!

Hi All...

Here's the craft activities conducted on the 8th Feb 2015...

On this week, in conjunction with the upcoming Valentine's Day, we set our mood towards that special occasion by teaching some V-Day crafts to our kids. Our main objective is to teach the kids to be appreciative towards their families.

On top of that, we continued last weekend's activities due to special request from the management. To view the activities, please click here...

Chenille Stems Family Tree for kids aged 6 - 8 yo

Aok, this is pretty hard to explain in details. But all you need is alot of Brown Chenille stems, for both the branches (i put in accordance of the kids family members). Then use alot for the tree trunk...

Popsicle Sticks Photo Frame for kids 9 - 12 yo

This is pretty easy to do so I won't be explaining on the how-to as this is more of decorating the photo frame according to the kids' favourite stickers! :)
