• Why put those colorful Christmas bulbs away when you can use them to make attractive centerpieces. Fill them in large glass jars along with some multicolored metallic confetti, glass beads, etc. to create an amazingly inexpensive and instantly available centerpiece.
• You can use the leftover wrapping paper to make attractive streamers. Spray adhesive on cardstocks and paste golden and silver wrapping papers on them. Once dried, use an adjustable circle cutter to cut out circles of multiple sizes, and punch holes on two opposite sides of the circles except the smallest one. Join all these circles together using jump rings having the largest one at the top and smallest one at the bottom. Hang these streamers from the doorways using thumbtacks.
• Instead of throwing away the tin cans that hold the prepackaged food; why not convert them into colorful votive holders! Wash these cans properly with soap and water so that they don’t stink. Spray paint them colorfully inside out and when the paint has dried, use a paper piercer to create beautifully designed holes in the cans. Place a votive inside them and bingo! Your own homemade New Year party decorations are ready to adorn your house on New Year eve.

Healthy Homemade Pizza Recipes For Your Child’s New Year Bash

Of late the Christmas and New Year parties have become a junk food-fest serving calorie-laden treats, carbonated drinks, and much more. If you are hosting a New Year eve party, why not encourage your little guests to indulge into something healthy such as fruit punch instead of carbonated drinks and homemade pizzas instead of the ones ordered from Dominos?

Kids love pizzas and baking them at home would be a healthier Christmas Party Idea. Instead of buying the prepackaged pizza crust, make this Christmas Party food at home from whole wheat flour to ensure a nutritive diet for the kids’ group. Here is how you can make a whole wheat pizza from scratch. 
 

Ingredients: 

• 1 3/4 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon honey (you can use sugar instead of honey)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 5 cups whole wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Pre-packaged pizza sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Pizza toppings
• Oregano
  

 

Directions:

• Take a bowl of water and sprinkle yeast over it. Allow it to dissolve in water for 5 minutes.
• Pour the remaining water in a large-sized bowl and add honey / sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and olive oil into it.
• Knead the dough well for at least 8 to 10 minutes. If you feel the dough is wet, use some flour till the dough is no longer sticky.
• Form a ball of dough, apply olive oil to it, cover it with a lid, and allow it to rise in a warm place for at least an hour.
• After an hour, the dough will get doubled in size. Divide it into large sized balls and roll them into 12 to 14 inch crust.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degree.
• Place the rolled pizza on a large baking sheet dusted with flour and bake it in the preheated oven for 2 minutes.
• On the half-baked dough, spread the pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese and bake it till the crust turns crispy and the cheese starts melting.
• Take the crispy pizza out, spread oregano on it, slice, and serve.

This holiday season, encourage your kids to make some healthy Christmas Party food choices and stay away from the fancy extravagant treats.

Spiderman Theme Invitations That Will Excite Your Guests For Some Web-Slinging Fun

Invitations are a great way to announce your party and to excite your guests for attending the celebrations. The invitations should match your party theme so that your guests can set their expectations right. The prepackaged invites available with the party supplies store perfectly complement the rest of the Spiderman Birthday Supplies and therefore, are the easiest option. However, there are many mommies who want to get creative and design their own invitation. If you are hosting a Spiderman Birthday Party, here are some ideas for making invites that will get your guests jump out of excitement. 

                                                             

Comic strip invite

The fictional character Spiderman first appeared in comic books published by Marvel comics. Why not customize a comic strip to make your invitation? Scan a page of Spiderman comic book and use photo editing programs such as Adobe Photoshop to white out the speech bubbles and fill in your party details. Once done, take printouts of this edited copy and use them as invites. Use plain blue envelopes for enclosing the invites or decorate the envelopes with stickers of spiders to make them look attractive.

Customized invite featuring the guest of honor

Download a picture of Spiderman in an action pose and use image editing software to white out the face of the superhero. Fill in this white space with the face of your child to make it look as if he is the real Spiderman. Although Spiderman is rarely seen without his mask, this customization is sure to impress your guest of honor as well as your guests. Take the printouts on blue card stock and write your party details on reverse side. Take professional help if required.

Alternatively, you can dress up your son in his Spiderman costume, ask him to pose like his favorite hero, and take some pictures of him. Choose the best one among them and print it out on blue card stock. Write your party details on the reverse side and use this as an invitation for your Spiderman Birthday Party.

Newspaper invite 

 

Scan a portion of a newspaper and use image editing software to edit the news. Whiten out the headline and fill in your own details such as ‘Calling all volunteers to help Spiderman make this world a safe place’. Under the new headline, write an article that mentions your party details and asks the invitees to come to the party dressed up like their superhero. 

 

Apart from these, you can always use the prepackaged invites available in most stores selling Spiderman Birthday Supplies so that you can save some time for other preparations.

• Make snowmen out of the Styrofoam and place one snowman near each of your food items to resemble as if the snowman is serving them. Using too many of these may make your table look cluttered so use as per the space on your table.
