Purim

Purim Decor


Purim sticks I made on Vistaprint and then used a paper cutter 
to cut out the shapes for the tags

Lewis made the hamantashens.

Harry Potter Party




 I used the flyers to cover up my Welcome to my home vinyl decal on this wall.


 The top right is a map of London and a brick curtain my husband sewed .


I made the 9 3/4 sign by painting a circle piece of plywood I got at Michaels for $1 and added vinyl

to purchase vinyl at Etsy store.

For our kids we put the invites in the fireplace



They already picked the house they wanted to be in.  Although we still had them do the hat sorting.






Each place set had a card that told of the traits of that house.


The black plastic plate I got from Walmart in a pack of 4 for $1 then added
 the house stickers from Zazzle.






I made the banner by buying a plain black banner for $5 at Hobby Lobby
The house ties are stickers I ordered
