Party: Paris in Turqoise & Pink

So the eldest turned 12 and wanted a Paris-themed tea party.

As part of the decor, decided to make Eiffel tower standees for the table. Have never tried something like this before, and it was surprisingly not too difficult.

Thought I'd share the process here, in case anyone else would like to give it a go.

Step 1: Googled an image of the tower and recoloured it according to theme. I needed 2 towers for each standee.

Step 2: Got the image printed on A3 sticker paper and stuck on foam board.



Step 3: Using a blade, I cut out the towers according to outline. It can be a challenge getting nice straight edges, but thankfully, foam is quite forgiving.

Tada!

Step 4: This next step looks tricky, but basically, you have to cut out slots for both pieces to join together. Just make sure the width of the cuts are the same size as the thickness of the foam board.

Step 5: Slot both sides together, and you're done! I did a mix of 2 colours for each tower for variety.

It was a simple but fun party for Girl and her baby sister, who also turned 2.
