2nd birthday balloon number mosaic - Pink & Gold theme - DIY large party decoration idea - How to make tutorial - FREE template

This post may contain affiliate links. Click here to learn more.

I made a 2nd birthday balloon mosaic and I love how it turned out. With a house full of boys it was nice to create something girly. 


I have three other video tutorials on how to make the mosaic numbers and one for USA letters. Each one shows something a little different based on questions I received from people.



I purchased all the balloons on Amazon. My favorite are the Qualatex but I didn't have time to order the 12". 

Pearl White 12" (from a multi pack)
Metallic Pink 12" (not pictured- from a multi pack)

Open PDF file in Adobe and print as a poster. Change to 500% under tile scale. 
Print in grayscale and in draft mode to save ink.

UPDATE: To use less paper - don't click CUT MARKS or LABELS when printing.
Some people lose track of how to lay the pages out but if you start horizontal across the top 4 pages and then start the next row below it. See photo of pages taped. 

I have templates available for 0, 1, 2, 6, 8. Just email me.

It takes 3 foam boards for the back or base of the number. 

For rounded edges, lightly score lines 1" - 1 1/2" apart on a side piece.


Gently press to open up the scored lines.

Be careful not to press too hard.

I have two video tutorials with more information.




I used a hand pump to inflated a bunch of balloons the night before and stored in a trash bag.
  I start by filling the number with balloons for a general idea of how many more balloons I need.
I used 16 - 12" balloons filled with 10 pumps of air with a hand pump and 6 gold 12" balloons filled with small amounts of air. I filled the rest with 5" balloons with one, two, or three pumps of air. 

Then I use glue dots to secure balloons in place. I ordered some on Amazon - 3000 (30 rolls of 100)

4 tier beer can cake - Happy BEERthday tags - how to make tutorial - Super easy - Fun idea for 21st birthday

This post may contain affiliate links. Click here to learn more.

This year we made my husband a beer cake for his birthday. 
Happy BEERthday!

I matched all the colors and made a gold, white, and black theme. 

I picked several of his favorite beers. 

Made these Happy BEERthday tags. Email me if you want the file.
Easy to print!

I also had some glitter prints leftover from the red carpet event and used the same star punch.

I used 57 beers total

12 pack Shiner Bock
6 pack Shiner Bock
15 pack Blue Moon
12 pack Heineken
6 pack Stash IPA
6 pack Firemans #4

I used a large bowl as a template for the bottom tier. 
Traced on foam board left over from the mosaic birthday balloons

Use a box cutter or exacto knife to cut from the foam board.
I'm using these from Amazon since you can just pop the end off and have a brand new blade.

I had leftover gold/silver poster boards from the money cake tutorial

Cut and taped to the foam board. It didn't look good just white.

Arranged the beers to see how many per tier.

I used a smaller bowl to trace the next tier.



Traced an even smaller bowl for the top tier.

I basically just set all the beers on the table and put the foam board in between each layer. I originally tried to just stack them but it looked like it would fall any second. It really needs the boards for support. 

top tier - 3 cans
2nd tier - 7 cans
3rd tier - 20 cans
bottom tier - 27 cans

NOTE: the bottom tier on the table is not completely full. Shhhhh. I spread them out to the edge of the foam board. It's full but not completely full like the other layers.

Since they are just stacked it would be difficult to transport. Maybe hot glue the beers to each foam board layer??? It was really heavy but maybe an idea if you need to take it somewhere. 

I put the stars on wooden dowels and stuck between beers. Not attached either.

I thought about adding ribbon but it took away from all the labels.

AND for my husbands birthday gift.....a FULL Thanksgiving dinner. His birthday is about 1/2 way in the year from Thanksgiving so it works out perfect. 

I cook everything! 

Turkey
Green bean casserole
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Corn
Roasted broccoli
Sweet potatoes
Deviled eggs
Rolls
Pumpkin pie
Fluffy pumpkin spice cheesecake

This is an annual tradition and one of his favorite meals.

Pink & gold 4 tier square money cake - Birthday gift idea - Great for weddings, graduation, showers, or just a creative way to give cash

I wanted it to be $100 but it ended only being $94. I liked the spacing so I'm okay with it. Next time I might make them a little closer to make room for the $6.


Supplies:
Cake tiers forms
$1 bills or any other amount
T-pins or straight pins
Wooden dowel
Ribbon

Pick up brand new bills at the bank. This made it so much easier and look nicer.

Purchased styrofoam squares from Michael's.




Started by making a template of the angle of the folded bills. I added a sticky note to mark where to fold each bill. I lined them up and matched the edge of the sticky note. 

Having all the bills the same will make the cake look so much better. A small detail that makes a big difference.

For the square I started in the corner matching the first bill to the edge. Then I folded the next bill over the edge.


I used small stick pins to attach bills and I tried to place them all in the same spot.




I used wooden dowels to secure each tier.


1st tier - $10
2nd tier - $25
3rd tier - $27
Bottom tier - $32

I used satin 1 1/2" ribbon to decorate the base of each tier. It also hides all the stick pins.
I used a stick pin in the back to attach to the ribbon.

I used the entire 4 yards for 4 tiers.
