Birthday Crafts: Decoupage Picture Frames
We also held a Tea and Crafts Party one year where we created these sweet decoupage picture frames!

It served as the perfect craft and party favor!
Tie Dye Tees
Another awesome birthday party craft idea is to make tie-dye t-shirts, which we did at one of our Tie-Dye Birthday Parties! I know the idea of tie-dye can be intimidating- but it truly is easy- and this video can show you exactly how to create a heart tie-dye tee!
