Scrapbook Paper Ideas: Party Hats including Printable Template

Mad Hatter Tea Party - Party Hats made with Digital Scrapbook Papers

I've been having a great time creating matching Digital Scrapbook Papers to go along with my party themes. This week on my blog I'm going to feature many of the great ways you can embellish a party with digital scrapbook papers. First up, party hats!

There's nothing like a good old fashioned party hat to celebrate a special day! This project is very simple. All you need is some white 8.5x11 card stock (found at most office supply stores), scissors, ribbon, some digital scrapbook papers, and the printable party hat template below.

First, download/print the printable party hat template (see below). Print it on white 8.5x11 card stock as many times as you need.

Next, run the paper through your printer again, and print out with a patterned digital scrapbook paper. For this project, I am using my patterns from my Mad Hatter Digital Scrapbook Paper Pack.

Now cut along the lines, fold with a slight overlap and tape as a cone. Punch 2 holes on either side at the bottom and sting a ribbon through (knot on back so ribbon stays.) There you have it! Fun party hats for all.

If you are feeling creative, embellish the hats with crepe paper, pom poms, glitter, and more! Let the guests take home their hat as a memory of the fun.

Papel Picado Inspired Fiesta Invitation

Papel Picado Inspired Fiesta Invitation by B.Nute productions

I love the look of papel picado-- a beautiful and intricate paper craft from Mexican folk art. I could hang these festive flags pretty much all year round-- so colorful and bright, it will make any party or setting sparkle!

Inspired by these banners, I first created this design as a t-shirt for a family trip we took to Mexico a couple years ago. Now, with Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I finally took the time to rework it into an invitation. I love the bright, festive, bold look. Perfect for a party, don't you think?

Getting this invitation in my shop also inspired me to create a It's a Fiesta Pinterest board, full of colors, inspiration, and party ideas for your fiesta. I'm just aching to have a margarita right about now!
