I have a soft spot for old school birthday parties at home. I mean, yeah we have had a few Chuck E Cheese parties in our day and it’s always really temping to just throw a few hundred dollars at an indoor playspace and hit the bakery but you know me. I … just … can’t. I really love the feeling of a houseful of kids, homemade decorations and a crazy towering homemade cake. Originally, we had planned a party in Santa Monica at Pacific Park<\/a> and we ended up getting passes for the girls and doing that as a family, and throwing an old school party at home instead. <\/p>\n

Wee One #3 invited her little posse of four year olds and when I asked her to pick a color she picked ‘rainbows’ so I went with a mix of mostly primary colors.<\/p>\n

These puffs were originally inspired by Martha’s puffs<\/a>, but these are so much cheaper and so so easy!<\/p>\n

Total cost for each puff was only slightly over $1, and these made really big puffs. All you need is a package of tissue paper, a pipe cleaner and a length of ribbon to hang it from. There were 20 pipe cleaners in the package and about 15 yards of ribbon on the spool!<\/p>\n

\"Tissue
\nFor each:
\n1 package tisse paper
\n1 pipe cleaner
\n1 length ribbon
\nscissors<\/p>\n

\nFirst flatten out the tissue paper and then accordion fold it until it’s all folded. Secure it in the middle with a pipe cleaner.
\n\"Tissue\n<\/div>\n
\nCut points at each edge and then separate all of the layers of tissue paper. This is the most tedious part and it’s not really all that tedious.
\n\"Tissue\n<\/div>\n
\nNow, hang them up all over your place! If you use an assorted package of paper, you’ll end up with multicolored puffs like these!<\/p>\n

\"Tissue\n<\/div>\n

\nI made this cloud-like puff by not cutting points at the edges, all the other steps are the same.<\/p>\n

\"Tissue\n<\/div>\n

\nThese last two were made with solid sets of paper and the same method as the multicolored ones with the points. So cute!
