8/20 Birthday decoration idea: make-up for a little doe
Once again, we are a fan of the creativity of the Monkey Choo blogger blogger who chose to transform her little doe into a deer as cute as it is majestic.
To make it:
On the material side, Cynthia simply picked up tree branches in the forest which she covered with glitter. She then held them down with a headband. She then presents to you on her blog the progress of the make-up session carried out with water-based make-up. She started by applying white on the upper part and brown on the lower part before taking care of the details (ridges of the nose, doe eyes, etc.)

10/20 Birthday decoration idea: a personalized gift wrap
Since your credo is “simplicity and creativity”, we take this DIY scene on The House that Lars built to revamp a too sober gift wrap.
To make it:
Wrap your gift papers with kraft paper. Take a pencil with an integrated eraser, a stamp of the color of your choice (here white) and decorate the surface.
11/20 Birthday decoration idea: confetti pancakes
Want to impress your little guests? However, we know that they are sometimes difficult to impress. Nevertheless, this recipe idea signed by Peek it Magazine will amaze them, we promise…
To achieve it:
A pancake recipe you master? So you’ve done almost all of the work. The only little subtlety that makes all the difference with traditional pancakes is a rain of food confetti when the dough begins to cook in the pan. They want more? Not surprising!
12/20 Birthday decoration idea: bucolic straws
Wait a minute! Have you taken care of the table decoration? We give you an idea with this DIY by Clones N Clowns .
To make it:
On her blog, the designer gives you the butterfly pattern that you will need to print. If you are comfortable drawing, you can of course make it yourself. With this pattern, draw on the patterned sheet of your choice before cutting it. Then, with a precision cutter, make two notches in which you will slide the straw. To personalize each one, you can write the child’s first name or vary the printed papers.
13/20 Birthday decoration idea: a cake covered with candy
We have of course all seen splendid birthday cakes of all colors in marzipan on the blogosphere. Yes, but now, as we definitely don’t have time to spend 10 hours in the kitchen and our specialty is yogurt cake, we found it a bit more accessible.
To make it:
Make a yoghurt cake (so far so good). Cover it with melted chocolate and before it hardens, add smarties and chocolate bars. The hardest part is then succeeding in cutting it. The complete recipe can be found on the Marciatack blog .
14/20 Birthday decoration idea: a glitter egg
At Oh Happy Day, we don’t offer the mimosa egg recipe but rather that of the glitter egg! We love it!
To achieve it:
Emptying an egg is not very glamorous, but absolutely necessary. To do this, make with a pin (and very carefully) a hole on either side of the egg and blow into one of the two to make the yolk and white fall into a bowl. Then enlarge one of the holes, paint your egg the color of your choice (no need to remember how fragile it is!). Then slip the sequins inside. To reseal the egg, just glue a circle of tissue paper. And There you go!
15/20 Birthday decoration idea: completely frosted candies
No birthday without sweets. But to present them in a surprising way and avoid the orgy, we found this DIY on the Makezine site that will leave your kids blissful.
To make it:
Take an ice cream kit. If you don’t have any, you can replace them with transparent yogurt pots and wooden sticks. Slip candies and lemonade into them and keep the mixture in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours. Magic, right?

16/20 Birthday decoration idea: confetti cones
Confetti is the king of birthdays. What we like is that we can decline them at will to vary the decorations. The proof with this DIY spotted on Ruffled made in one minute flat.
To make it:
Kraft paper rolled up like a cone and held it in place with tape or masking tape. A handful of confetti slipped inside, and that’s the job. Add to that a horde of children determined to have a good time and you have your entertainment there.
17/20 Birthday decoration idea: personalized bottles
If kids listened to each other, they’d be bathing in a waterfall of sodas and stuffing themselves with candy all day. Luckily, you’re on the lookout. And you’ve decided to take care of the smallest details to see them smile… without risking seeing cavities.
To make it:
This DIY is very simple and you can take inspiration from the Simply Sarah Style blog. On the Internet, find patterns to print that you like or buy scrapbooking sheets at a craft store. All that remains is to cover the sad labels of your water bottles and your fruit juices. We bet that the children will suddenly find them of great interest?
18/20 Birthday decoration idea: a moon pinata to take down
We love the pinata, children even more, but we must admit that we do not always have the courage to embark on the maneuver. That’s why this moon model, both more accessible and more poetic than the classics of the genre, won us over.
To make it:
In thick cardboard, draw the shape of a crescent moon with a marker before cutting it out and assembling the two sides using other pieces of cardboard. When you have glued the whole thing with tape, cut rows of fringes in tissue paper that you stick on top of each other all along the crescent moon. To not miss any detail, go to this blog.
19/20 Birthday decoration idea: a low cost crown
During birthdays, children love to dress up more than anything. With this crown for small budgets, they will not be disappointed! In addition, they will be able to make it themselves thanks to Hugo and Mathilda’s DIY.
To make it:
Take a roll of toilet paper and cut it into a crown shape. Customize your crown with paint, masking tape or like here, small pompoms and stickers. At the base of the decorated roll, make two holes so that a ribbon can be slipped through. It is he who will maintain the crown on the heads of toddlers.
20/20 Birthday decoration idea: glitter candles
Be careful, this DIY can be done by children, but stay by their side. In the same way, be careful with the candles present in the room during the party!
To make it:
Are you still signing up for an ultra-easy DIY? Collect clear glass yogurt pots and brush their base with glue. Then dip them in a bowl filled with glitter and let dry to easily remove the excess with a small brush. If the children are too rambunctious or too small for you to leave them in the presence of candles during the birthday, use these containers to put cutlery, straws or a few flowers on the table. For how-to, head over to Birds Party.
