Making of props

 The first prop - paper plates. The reason why I brought these were because they fitted in with two of my themes very well. The themes of a kids tea party and also the theme of Britain and the flag (Union Jack.) At a kids tea party you always have paper plates and these tie in with the flag because they have them on it. The colours will tie in with the rest of the rest of the props.

This is the first image of the bunting. It was a D.I.Y. one so I am going to take you through the stages of how I made it. This is the first image. It came with the triangles already cut up and some string so all you had to do was assemble it. This was easier said than done!

So to attach the two triangles together with the string you had to tie a not around it. In the instructions they made no sense so I made it up as I went along and it worked - held them together.

I continued to do this alternating the colours between all three so I had a pattern going - red white and blue. As you can see in this image I still had a way to go with it, but it was progressing.

This was the finished thing and is go further down in the post you will be able to see it hung to, to get the feel of how long it was.

This is all the props together. They are all the same colours to relate back to my themes and they relate back to the idea of a kids party because they remind me of my childhood.

The finished paper chains hung up to try and see what they looked like. They look effective because you can see the colours clearly, and they remind me so much of my childhood.

The length of the paper chain. It was a decent length and looked good like that - so that is how I am going to place it in the location of the party rooms.

This is the finished look of the bunting. Red white and blue - the colours of the Union Jack.


The image below shows the length of the bunting. Both of these props are going to be using in the photo shoot that I do in the kid's party rooms.
