Cute-as-your-kid birthday party decoration idea

My friend Daniella decorates her house for every holiday, so I was not super surprised when she posted an adorable birthday garland for her daughter Noa on Facebook this week.

Look, it’s Noa’s little face through the years (all four of them!) made festive with scrapbook paper hats.

She pasted the photos into Word.

Find the menu that says Insert, then select Picture.

Converted the photos to black and white.

Double click or right-click the photo to get the Picture menu and adjust the Color.

Adjusted the heads to be roughly the same size, then printed on card stock and cut out the heads.

Daniella’s hats were made from scrapbook paper with glued on pom-poms and tissue paper trim. (She made the slits in the tissue paper and ruffled it up, but you could use old-fashioned crepe paper that comes on a roll for this.)

Find pom-poms and related supplies on Amazon.
