Celebrating a birthday in the style of "Alice in Wonderland"
First, decide where you will celebrate this significant event - at home or outdoors. If there is an opportunity to go out of town, then spend your holiday there. At home or in nature, you need to decorate the surrounding space accordingly, prepare meals, develop a birthday scenario.
Make holiday cards in the style of the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland", send them to your invited guests. Let them know what kind of plot awaits them at the party. It is good if the guests dress in the style of this fairy tale or you can make outfits for them in advance so that the clothes of those present correspond to the theme of the evening.
How to decorate the living room for your birthday in the style of "Alice in Wonderland"?
If you are going to celebrate this joyous occasion at home, then a large room will do the trick. Pictures will tell you how you can decorate it based on the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland".
Set up a large table. If you don't have one, then take two small ones and cover them with a tablecloth. Place cutlery, place toy rabbits between them so that they create the right mood. Pour water into the kettle, put the gerberas. Glue the eyes drawn on paper to them.
You can make invitations in the form of scrolls. To do this, it is better to pre-age the sheets of paper or cardboard a little with coffee or tea and cut the edges of the papyri in a zigzag pattern.
You can print invitations on a color printer, and then write the name of each recipient. Twist the paper, tie it with colored string so that it looks like a scroll.
Do not forget that Alice's adventures, which were waiting for her in Wonderland, are connected with the clock. Leave them on the table, spreading out the cards here. You can make a Queen of Hearts costume, dress up a daughter's doll in it.
If you have a pink tablecloth, lay it down. If you managed to buy a tablecloth with card drawings, then this one is very suitable. Recolor the white cells of the chess board pink. Decorate some accessories in the same colors.
As you remember, Alice drank a magic potion and was able to change in height. Pour juice into small bottles, wrap the corks with twine, gluing it. Tie the words "Drink me" to the ends of the strings. Print strips with drawings from a fairy tale on a color printer, glue them to the bottles.
Decorate the circles, paint them with the children so that there are card symbols here. You can make canapé straws in the same style or buy them. You can paint some white roses in scarlet, put several cards in a bouquet and get a composition on the theme "Alice in Wonderland".
Other accessories will help create the right atmosphere. Take a light round Raffaello box and cover it with a piece of tulle or taffeta. Place the puppet tea set on top, just like in that story.
You can make sweets for such a tea party out of paper, clay, or fabric. For the latter option, you need to cut strips of terry in contrasting colors and sew them together. Roll these blanks into a tight roll, glue their tips to the bases with a hot gun and glue wooden skewers.
You don't have to buy accessories to decorate your birthday room. In advance, together with the child, cut out circles from cardboard. Draw a dial and hands on them.
Then, holes are made in such watches to turn them into a garland. Do not forget to cut the keys out of dark paper and attach them here.
Make interesting pointers in which you write strange directions. And, of course, flower arrangements with an alarm clock will not interfere with the decoration.
Children's party in the style of "Alice in Wonderland" in nature
On a fine day, it would be nice to celebrate a solemn event in the fresh air. You can use some of the ideas above and add others. Wooden folding furniture is perfect. And you don't have to share the table. You can install folding ones and cover them with bright tablecloths.
Decorate existing plants with paper flowers for an even more festive atmosphere.
Place a painted rabbit cut out of light cardboard near the entrance to the house. If you are celebrating in a clearing, then you can put such a funny character near the nearest tree.
If you want to celebrate your birthday in the country, then also draw cards on colored cardboard, pre-cutting rectangles from it.
Place chess on the grass. You can draw the field for them on white matter, painting some cells with black paints using a stencil. Make chips from old bowls by turning them over and painting them in the desired colors. If there are no such items, then various materials can be used, even stones.
If there are hemp or logs in the country, make mushrooms out of them. Let the guests get into the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland", as if they would wander through a magical forest. To do this, cut the logs into pieces of the desired length, place on top of them inverted basins painted to resemble mushroom caps.
Also, do not forget to put on the tables and accessories that are found in this fabulous story. These will be watches, cups. And put flowers in the teapots.
What to cook for your birthday Alice in Wonderland style?
Treats should also be in the style of this fairy tale. Print out the signs in advance with the words "Eat me" on them. You can glue them to wooden skewers and stick them into a salad or snack platter.
Ordinary bagels or pies can be turned into magical ones if you paint eyes and a cheerful smile on them.
Use food coloring for this. Stick wooden skewers into a platter of gummies, pull a couple of ropes between them to string the triangles of paper. Write letters on each so that you can read the name of the theme evening or the name of the birthday girl.
The inscription "Eat me" can be either in Russian or in English. You decide whether to take ready-made cakes or bake them with your own hands, and grease them with sweet icing with pink food coloring on top. Add white icing sugar to the lettering.
Cakes with berry jelly will look beautiful on the table, which can also be accompanied by signs calling to eat them; or decorated with cardboard butterflies. And next to the birthday girl, put a cake or a slide on which cakes are located.
You can even decorate your table using an old chandelier. She needs to remove the shades, then paint the base. When the paint is dry, place a cake in a package on each shade, and a dish with a cake on top.
You can decorate such an accessory with paper flowers, which are even placed in a teapot.
Colorful cakes will also look great on the table.
You can order a cake or bake it yourself. Making such a sweetness is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The cake doesn't have to be that tall if you make it yourself.
Bake a few cakes, when they cool, soak them in sweet syrup and combine with butter cream. Then spread the cream on the surface of the cakes, having previously connected them.
Now you will need to use a rolling pin to cover this creation with sugar mastic. You can add food coloring to make the cards on the sidewalls. Also, with the help of mastic, you can make sugar flowers with which to decorate the cake.
For the top of the hat, put large cakes on top, and small ones on the bottom. Then you will have a kind of cylinder.
Break the rest of the biscuit with your hands. Combine it with butter cream and sculpt a rabbit. Then it will also need to be covered with sugar mastic, to highlight the facial features, attach the ears, hind and front legs.
Little children can sit on chairs that will also be created on this topic. They can be converted into old wooden highchairs.
This requires few materials and a great mood.
How to update an old Alice in Wonderland chair?

The Hatter says that he loves to make new acquaintances and is glad to everyone who came here. He will tell you that after the Red Queen came to the kingdom, much here became absurd.
So, she makes white roses repainted in red and vice versa. The presenter invites the children to participate in a similar competition.
We repaint the roses
Children are divided into a couple of teams, near each you need to hang a poster with white roses. There is also a scarlet paint.
