a party on a shoestring
invitation:attendance is mandatory!
made in district 7 (trees, lumber = paper)
use the font from the movie; bank gothic. it was already on my Mac.
you can also purchase it.
click here for this free printable invitation i made for you :)
the actual printable is a bit larger and clearer
print onto colored paper :)
copy the mockingjay from the cover and cut it out and
hang up mockingjays around the party
have toy parachutes attached to your party favors
have everyone dress up:
- like tributes
- like the oddly bright citizens from the capitol
- like Effie! haha
- like Katniss, Peeta, Gale...
- make iron-on tee shirts with the mockingjay or the words: "may the odds be ever in your favor"
- bookmarks from cut pages
from sotheysay on etsy. use this stamp to make your own.
- to really save money you can print out the mockingjay and trace it onto a white tee shirt (or other things) with a sharpie.
- for my daughter's thick shirt i had to hang it on a window for light to see what i was tracing since i don't have a light box :)
- pin a target on a wall or better yet, have a stuffed animal set up to shoot toy arrows at
- play manhunt
eat:
make cookies
- lamb stew
- chicken with orange sauce
- bread from district 11
- Mallark's bakery goat cheese and apple tarts
and be sure to serve hot chocolate!
i can't wait to see what fun DIYs you link up today!
