Colorful Tie Dye Birthday Party

 

What's more fun than a Colorful Tie Dyed Themed Birthday Party?

When you're a young pre-teen, you want a birthday party that is fun and colorful and what's more colorful than tie-dye.

Featured Storage:  Deflecto 3-Tier Dessert Stand

The icing on the cupcake is the Deflecto 3-Tier Dessert Stand, which is easy to assemble and then flattens for storage.

The Deflecto 3-Tier Dessert Stand is quick to assemble in four easy steps.  It's made of durable and washable clear acrylic and even has holes around the tiers for cake pops or lollipops.  And each tier has a 1/4" edge that makes customizing a breeze!

To decorate the dessert stand, we cut tie-dye paper into 1/4" wide strips using a paper trimmer and attached them with a tape roller.

Did somebody say cupcakes?  Yes, please.

The Tie-Dye Themed Birthday Party was created by Design Team Member Beth Watson. For more tie-dye party ideas visit Beth's Blog here.

Fall Football and Fun

Easy DIY Football Themed Party Ideas

Fall is right around the corner, and with that comes Football Season.

Whether you’re watching the NFL or High School Football, a few simple snacks

are always welcomed by the fans.

To keep the decorating easy, use a few sheets of Football themed scrapbook paper. 

I used one of the 3″ x 4″ sections and attached it to the front of a small stackable caddy container (from the Deflecto Stackable Caddy Organizer) with repositionable tape to make a silverware holder.

The Deflecto 3-Tier Dessert Stand is the perfect tailgating companion. 

It is easy to put together and folds flat for compact storing and transporting.  Use football-themed washi tape or strips of cut paper and adhere it around the edges of the tiers for added fun.  (Make sure to use repositionable adhesive. )

Create a banner using colored cardstock and letter stickers in your favorite team colors.

Having everything in cups makes for easy grab and go snacking.

Now we’re ready for some Football!

Halloween Decorating with Deflecto!

We are ready for Halloween!

Hello! Rosie here and I am thrilled to be sharing my first DT project with Deflecto. I am so excited to be part of the team, and I hope to inspire you with these fantastic products.

While my boys are older now and no more trick-or-treating happens in our home anymore, we do love to welcome the kids in our neighborhood that come knocking on our door. This year we will have lots of candy ready for them and with the amazing products of Deflecto it will be even easier to prepare and be prepared for those Trick-Or-Treaters heading our way.

Here are the products I used from Deflecto:

I started decorating 3 Tier Dessert Stand as you can see in the picture below. 

I added the black skirt and wrapped some garland around the top and bottom tiers of the stand.

I then added candy to all tiers and wa-la!! 

With just I little more decoration around the tier and all the candy it holds is ready for 

Halloween Day. I guess we will be eating candy until that day. 

Here a few more pictures of my display.

Can you see the 3-Tier-Dessert-Stand?

I also used part of the paper cup as decoration on the two different sizes of mini holders.

3-Tier Dessert Stand Customized for Halloween

Hi everyone, it's Josefine, and I'm so glad to be back with another guest design team post. Today, I want to share my Halloween project with you, and it's going to be yummy!

I'm using the 3-Tier Dessert Stand as the base and the Mini Sign Holders in two different sizes (2x3 and 3x4) for parts of the decoration. I started with decorating the 3 levels of the 3-Tier Dessert Stand using Mod Podge and tissue paper. Thankfully I had the right Halloween colors laying around.

I simply spread out the Mod Podge on the base using a simple brush and then added the tissue paper on top. I wanted the paper to be rather messy with a lot of wrinkles, so I moved it around a bit till I had the effect that I wanted. Then I added another layer of Mod Podge on top of the tissue paper and let it dry.

Next up, I prepared the inlays for the Mini Sign Holders. To ensure that the paper has the correct size, I drew the squares onto regular white cardstock and cut it with my paper guillotine.

At the end, I decorated 4 of each size using washi tape, cute Halloween stamps, stencils all put together with a bunch of fun. I really enjoyed the process of creating all these little scenes :)

This is really a fun and simple project that you can do with your kids or friends during movie and wine night ;) Here are all the little scenes that I created. Btw, did you know how difficult it is to get Halloween cupcakes one month before Halloween? All my grocery store had was Christmas themed cupcakes. I couldn't believe it :D

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my Halloween project! I definitely need one of these cupcakes now ;) Josefine

Halloween Table Ideas

Hi Everyone! I'm excited to be here not the Deflecto blog with some great party decorating ideas that are super easy. Deflecto items are the perfect finishing touch for a unique Halloween party! My name is Alexandra from Hedgehog Hollow, I'm normally a paper crafter, but I love to decorate cakes and host parties for my daughter's friends, so I had great fun creating these ideas for you!

The first idea is for a cupcake and candy bar at your party, let's take a look...

I love this so much that I actually left it up after the photos with a permanent candy bar for the season! I will adapt it to fall/Thanksgiving when into the holidays and winter themed, maybe even a cocoa bar! Stay tuned on the Hollow blog on how I change it up.

Then I thought I would show you some fun place setting ideas for a Halloween table using all the same excellent Deflecto products, Let's look at the overall effect...

First of all, I want to show you how useful these Deflecto VersaGrip Double Clip Sign Holders are and how they can be used on the Deflecto 3 Tier Dessert Stand.

These have ball joints on either end so you really can have them at any angle, I have found all sorts of uses for labeling sound the house for these, the best is in the girl's closets. However, back to the table, the mini slanted sign holders are great either way up, first of all, a more child-friendly setting...

This is a more adult and classic themed setting...

Now I want to show you these Flexible Sign Danglers, both have adhesive at either end, you could add balloons or other embellishments, but here I put the sign on one end and then bent it under the cupcake for this layer...

Finally, the cake stands as a whole in all its glory, the best part is the little holes around the outside to add cake pops or lollipops too! It's so versatile, plus you could decorate it for your occasion, perhaps a snowy scene, plus the levels can be closer together or further apart!

Thanks so much for joining me today, I can't wait to share some more ideas with you very soon!

Happy Crafting!

Alexandra
