Little Monster's First Birthday

My little monster is turning one and I decided to throw a Minnie Mouse Tsum Tsum party. Disney Tsum Tsum are my latest obsession, they are these little plush dolls that you can stack. Let's get stacking!

I've been planning this birthday since the day she was born. A few weeks prior to the party, I started making all the party decorations. As for the cake, we had a friend make a Minnie Mouse Tsum Tsum cake with a semi-smaller smash tsum tsum cake for the little monster.

Here's how the party came out:

 
My niece helped me make a welcome sign. Since it was raining all day we put the sign by the front door.

DIY Projects: 1st Birthday Decorations

The days are numbered until my little monster is turns one. Since I had a Mickey Mouse cake for my first birthday, I thought I would do a Minnie Mouse themed first birthday for my little one.

To get ideas I went online to view other Minnie Mouse themed birthday parties. I got so many creative ideas, but felt like I'm still missing something. Then it clicked.... Minnie Mouse tsum tsum themed party. For those who don't know what tsum tsums are, they are little plush stackable dolls by Disney. It's also a video game Disney created.

I wasn't able to find any tsum tsum inspired party decorations, so I had to create some myself. Here are some of the things I created for my little monster's first birthday party. 

Material List:
- Paper Mache Letters/Numbers
