DIY Monster Birthday Invitations with templates! By Virginia Wilcox

Gather your materials You can find templates and a materials list for this project at the end of this presentation or you can make your own. Make sure to get fun, bright colored paper for the monsters’ bodies and a cool pattern for their party hats. You can also decorate the hats with markers or other fun things if you prefer.

Color the mouths and pupils Do this BEFORE you start cutting because then you don’t have to worry about staying inside the lines or coloring over glue!

Cut out the body Use different colors of paper for the bodies! I used colored printer paper. You can use scrapbooking paper or construction paper if you’d like, but if you’re going to print, make sure the paper fits in the printer!

Cut out the party hats You need to cut out two triangles per monster (you will glue them together to make the hat).

Assemble the eyes Use a glue stick to attach the pupils onto the larger circles to make the eyes. If you are using a thicker paper, you can experiment with your monsters by hot-gluing googly eyes on instead if you’d like!

You’re Invited papers You want to make it look like the monster is eating the invitation. Cut out the You’re Invited slips and wrinkle them up into little balls and then un-wrinkle them (just don’t tear them up!).

Cut out the teeth and mouth You can add different sizes of teeth for your monsters if you want to.
