My baby turned 1 on 11-11-11 this year, so we had a day of 1’s! I decorated with 1’s. This decoration was completely free for me, I had everything on hand and it was super easy and cute :).
This is how I made it:
1) I traced and cut out the number 1 from a cardboard box.
2) Using felt I cut a lot of circles. I had it folded so when I cut one circle, it was actually 4. It saved me a lot of time.
3) I folded the circles and then glued them onto the cardboard.
4) I continued to do that until the 1 was covered.
5) I then cut a circle out of yellow felt.
6) I cut the circle into a long spiral, I just kept cutting the circle until I got to the middle.
7) I then wrapped the spiral around itself and glued it together to make the flower.
8) I added two more flowers and some pearls.
And now I have a cute decoration for my baby’s birthday party!
What a cute idea! The #1 looks fabulous!
Perfect, love the yellow pop of flowers on the white "1". Hope baby had a great birthday!
Cute! Happy Birthday to your little one!
This looks so great! I love how you recycled some cardboard to make the one. So much easier than having to go out and find a number in the size you were looking for!
Kaysi! My baby boy turned 1 on 11.11.11 also! We are actually celebrating with extended family on Thanksgiving since that is when he came home from the NICU and officially joined the family. I LOVE this idea for a #1 😉 Drop me a line sometime and lets chat about our babies
Her party is going to be so cute! Thanks so much for sharing over at ECE!
My baby turns one today (11-19) and we are having a small party…your one would look great at it 🙂 Maybe I'll make a small version. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love this!!! Thanks for sharing a great tutorial. I will def. be doing this for my son's first birthday party approaching. I think I will replace the flower with a bow-tie? Anyways, thanks for sharing!
