Unicorns are so popular with both children and adults and we celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday with a super fun Unicorn theme party.

My daughter's birthday falls on May 30th and she has summer vacations in April and May ...so every year we spend a good chunk of the vacation planning her birthday.
We had the party in our living room so we put up the main decorations in our living room.We had a pink and white balloon arch at the doorway to our living room.

We put up pink and white balloons and large flowers all over the room but concentrated majority of the unicorn decorations on this wall. You can see a huge handmade Unicorn banner,cute clouds and rainbows ,a rainbow unicorn, floating hot air balloons and nearly a dozen decoupaged unicorns!

The hot air balloons were die cut using the
Spellbinders Hot Air Balloon Contour Steel Rule Die and yes it did take hours to make the balloons 3d! .My daughter helped to layer the balloons atop
Crealies oval die cuts and we topped off the hot air balloon danglers with die cut clouds [ made using
Itsy Bitsy clouddie]

The balloons dangle from blue satin ribbons and I added clouds [ made using
Memory Box dies] on alternate ribbons.They looked fabulous swinging in the wind!

We put the letters of our "Happy Birthday Prisha" banner on Unicorn faces.The ears and face were made using
Crealies oval foam die cuts ...we could have added unicorn horns but my daughter wanted them to be plain horses!!The tiny floral stamps are also from
Crealies and the flowers were also die cut with
Crealies dies.

The rainbows were pretty easy to make...we used foam with rainbow colours and cut out big semicircular arches to make the rainbows and added
Memory Box die cut clouds on the ends.

My little girl[ well officially a teenager but a little girl to me!!] made the super cute cloud pinata all by herself...in fact she took hours to make it but it does look super adorable doesn't it!

She also drew and colored this gorgeous huge Unicorn..the locks of hair are outlined with glitter glue and looks really special !
And here is the birthday girl! The gorgeous hair bow is handmade...I made the beautiful rose and foliage using foam !

We had around 20 teenage girls for our party and planned some simple crafts for the girls to make . We set up 4 big tables and here is how our table looked.

And this is what the girls made...Unicorn post it note holders. I cut up pieces of chipboard before hand so that the base would be strong and pre-scored card stock stands for the holder.Gave the girls an assortment of pretty pattern papers to choose and lots of embellishments like rhinestones, pom poms , flowers, sequins and glitter to personalize their Post it note holders.

The girls also played quite a few games but I didn't have to stress too much about the games as my daughter herself organised all the games !!
It was heartening to see the girls enjoy themselves and after the party so many of the girls' mothers messaged me how much the girls' enjoyed themselves!
I made quite a few Unicorn themed decoupaged decorations and since decoupage is such a time consuming craft ...I started making all the decorations weeks before the party!

And though no unicorns in this one...I have to share it as it is always so popular at parties...a Jelly Flower cake...completely handmade with Jelly! [I am especially proud of how it turned out as I managed to make it in between the mad rush of getting the house cleaned , putting up the party decorations , baking and icing the cake and cooking for the party!!]
