Owl Theme's

Did you know that they make nothing in the way of owl themed party plates, napkins and cups, but they do make many other owl things that can be used for a b-day party?

I bought a stamp from ebay, it has an owl with a party hat on! It's so cute!
I have made party bags with brown paper bags, cardstock and scraps. I have made owl magnets with a die cuts and googlie eyes. I found a HUGE sequine(sp?) owl to iron on a t-shirt.

That's what gave me the idea for the party. We are doing iron on's. I bought about 10 t-shirts at $3.99 each. And Iron-on stuff ranging in price from $1.50 to $5 for the owl. But the thing is about 12 inches! We will also be making the parlor beads. Those are the plastic beads that you iron to melt together.

A fun thing my mom used to do when we were kids- We would take old crayon bits, you know the kind-half one crayon and just the tip another- you gather a small handful and put them on a peice of alimunum foil. Set it into your oven at 150 or 200F, or you can use a toaster oven. Watch them melt. Once they are melted pull them out. They will smoke if you don't watch them. And they are pretty toxic-smelling when smoking! Let them kool. Now you have a new crayon that writes in a million different colors. Or as many colors as you put in. :D

Parlor beads always remind me of crayon making. Not sure y though.
