Isn’t this the cutest birthday gift ever? My oldest daughter’s best friend is turning 7 and like any girl that age she loves art… so we whipped up this adorable Birthday Craft Cake for her.
I let my daughter help pick everything out and even help decorate it. I know her friend will be totally in awe with it!!!
We put all kinds of arts and crafts supplies into our “cake” including some of the incredible line of Elmer’s Craft Bond supplies. I just love their selection of scrapbook/ crafting items. At Walmart you can find it by the scrapbooking supplies!
One of my favorite items is the Elmer’s Craft Bond Extra Strength Glue Sticks… these really hold up well!
What you will need to make the Birthday Craft Cake:
1 pack of 10 Elmer’s Glitter Glue Paint Pens (found in office/ school supplies section of Walmart)
various rhinestone jewels (if you want them)
48 pack crayons
One package of 20 count fine tip markers
One 30- pack kids paint brushes (mine were by Plaid)
One 3- pack of plastic containers found in Walmart dollar bin near the craft section)
2 wooden stamps (I found mine at Walmart for 98 cents)
2 skewers or chopsticks
One 3- pack Crayola paint pots
1 large package of craft foam circle sheets
1 large package of craft foam circle sheets
Construction paper of various colors
tissue paper (I used pink)
ribbon (see pink ribbon and cupcake ribbon)
cookie tin (like the ones at Christmas)
Duct tape
regular tape
clear packing tape
scissors
10 rubber bands
Optional* any other supplies you might want to put in the bottom of the tin
Instructions:
Make sure to duct tape each layer on top of the other layer!!!
Duct tape the number on top of the rolled up paper inside of the Elmer’s Glitter Glue Paint Pens. The skewers/ chopsticks should fit right in the top plastic container.
