If you are planning a tropical paradise birthday party, you may wish to give your guests a special tropical favor handmade by you. Consider the following ideas.
Hand-painted vase with tropical flowers
You may want your guests to take home a bit of the tropics themselves. You can go to the dollar store and buy small glass vases. You can then go to a craft store such as Michael’s Arts and Crafts and purchase some glass paint. On the vases you can paint something tropical such as a palm tree or some flowers. There are books that you can buy that show you how to easily paint some simple designs. You can then put a few tropical flowers in. These can go on the tables during the birthday party and be part of the decorations so they can serve a dual purpose.
Alternatively you can buy any one of a number of other items to hand-paint with a tropical theme such as a beach. They sell little wooden boxes and glass boxes. You can also purchase a small frame that you can decorate. If you choose a picture frame then you can put your guests’ names in them and put them by the seats so that they can also be the place cards.
Clay palm tree
Palm trees are very much associated with the tropics. You can get some clay to make into tiny sculptures of little palm trees, which the guests can take home as a unique birthday party favor. If you have the skills you can also use clay to hand make some tropical flowers.
Tropical hat
A lot of people wear hats to protect themselves from the sun in the warm tropics. You can get a hat and then embellish it by adding a beautiful decorative ribbon. You can also use fabric paints on them.
Tropical themed bag
Your party guests may enjoy a bag with a tropical theme. With a little fabric and a sewing machine you can make some simple totes. You can then glue rhinestones on them in the shapes of suns, palm trees and other tropical themes. Alternatively you can use paint and markers.
A handmade birthday party favor can be very meaningful for your guests for your tropical themed event. You can also customize the pieces with your guests’ name. Consider whether any of the above ideas might be great for your summer party.
