Everybody knows that the Olympic Games began and many people watch them! So we thought that our kids shouldn’t miss this event and we decided to give you some ideas of decoration for a kids’ Olympics party. This party can be a themed birthday, a specific event celebration, watching a discipline night, etc. Of course all details should be in the Olympics’ theme, even invitations. Make them like tickets to games. Also you can hang up posters or garlands which consist of Olympic circles. If your party will be outside, give the kids an Olympic torch. And don’t forget about small presents for every kid such as Olympic medals. Let all kids feel champions!

In today’s post there’s a room that doesn’t really have a certain theme, but all in all looks just incredibly pretty! It’s bright, colorful, eclectic and cute – best characteristics of a place for a baby girl. The color palette of purple and teal with a few chic splashes of gold here and there is really unique and original, I can even say that I haven’t seen anything like that in a baby’s nursery. So, parents did such a fabulous job of mixing styles and creating such a lovely design! If to choose favorite things in this room, for me it definitely gonna be a hidden closet and a playful mobile over the chicest chair. What about you?

Every boy and girl loves space theme that’s why you gotta make these rockets for them! You will need cardboard mailing tubes, corrugated cardboard, poster board, supplies to decorate rockets such as paint, spray paint, colored paper, duct tape, pencil, tape, glue gun, x-acto knife, box cutter, jigsaw, powerdrill and scissors. Create a template to create “hatches” in the rocket. Trace around a round object like a jar or canister onto a piece of paper. Cut out circle and trace around it onto the cardboard tube. With an extra large drill bit, drill a starter hole in the center of the circle. Next, insert the blade of the jigsaw through the hole. While stabilizing the tube with your free hand, guide the blade towards the outline and cut out circle. With a pair of scissors, snip off any jagged cardboard remnants along the edges of the hatch. The rest of the tutorial is here.

What makes this room spectacular is that it has lots of gorgeous bits and pieces all around. Parents wanted to leave the walls clean instead of wasting too much money decorating, so it’ll be easier to transform the room as the child grows. And to make the whole look of a kid’s space not plain and boring but unique and whimsy, they filled it with some terrific furnishings that also can be easily transferred: adorable hot air balloon wall decals that are easily removable, the cutest open dollhouse for shoes, cool storing bags, etc. But what I love the most in this room is comfy little reading nook with shelving decorated with Christmas garlands and seats made of foam and covered with colorful Ikea fabrics. So lovely!

This craft is a very interesting idea of decoration for your rooms, especially kids’ rooms. You can write whatever you or your kids want. It can take about 5 hours but it’s not difficult. You will need wire, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, yarn, scissors and template. Shape the wire into the thought bubble and words following the template. Make sure to leave extra wire at the ends to attach to bubble. Wrap the words in yarn and attach to the thought bubble. Then twist another piece of wire around the thought bubble to hide the connection points of the words and to provide a bit more rigidity. At the end wrap the thought bubble in yarn. Now you can hang it and enjoy!
