Piñata DIY - Yoobi Style

Take your Yoobi Party to the next level and make your own Yoobi piñata. 

Yoobi is all about bright colors so don't be afraid to pick them all! ;)

Take a sheet of tissue paper and fold it up to look like the above picture. Remember you'll be doing this with each color. 

Make small slits in the folded tissue paper. This is similar to the slits in the Yoobi backdrop we made last week

After you've cut slits in each color, get your glue stick out, cause it's time to get sticky! 

Layer each one to slightly overlap the next color

Do this all the way around the box so it looks great from all angles

Luckily the Yoobi symbol is a printable on the Yoobi website, so just print it HERE and color in ( a great way to get the kids involved) and then cut out carefully 

Stick the Yoobi bird on each side

Voila! See it's not as hard as it looks :)

Photo Backdrop DIY

What you'll need: Yoobi tissue paper, Scissors, double-sided tape & a board 

I bought 2 packets of each color but ended up only using 1 packet of each. This will vary depending on the size of the backboard

You can use the natural crease in the tissue paper to determine the length of the strips you're cutting

Cut strips in each color of tissue paper 

Next stick the tissue paper onto the double sided tape. Make sure each layer hangs over the other. 

You're going to want to hold down the previous layer so that it doesn't get stuck on the next layer of double-sided tape. Use something light so the strands don't rip. 

Keep repeating until each color is finished. Then enjoy taking pictures in front of it! We used an easel at  the birthday party as it was the easiest way of lowering the back drop for the smaller children. 

Let me know what you think and check back in with me tomorrow to see how to make a Yoobi piñata!

Hands down this is the easiest birthday party I've ever thrown. For the first time ever I didn't find myself in aisle 3 of Party City debating over which ninja turtle would look most compatible with Princess Sophia. Wanna know the secret? [ Drumroll please]…Throw a Yoobi Party! Yes that's right I said throw a Yoobi party, ( pronounced "you-be") - neon colors and a Toucan bird = fun for everyone! 

One For You. One For Me. For every Yoobi item you purchase, a Yoobi item will be donated to a classroom in need, in the U.S.  

Party planning made simple, all while giving back to the community is too good of a package to pass up. 

Keep checking in with my blog this week for fun DIY posts that will have you ready to throw your very own Yoobi party.
