Party Decor for Next to Nothing

One of our little men turned 3 this past Monday!
Here are some of the decorations made from 3 old t-shirts, cardboard (out of the dumpster), and a recycled book, and a black marker:

Clifford, welcoming people to the party!

 pom poms (inspired by this link)!

 pom poms, other garland made from tying t-shirt strands together!

 Different garland made by sewing paper shapes and t-shirt scraps together!

 A simple sign.  Mr. S wanted the theme to be "red cake," hence the cake.  

Just funny - cooling the watermelon in the tub because it was too big for the refrigerator:

 Treat bags: sewn together one way, filled with candy and then sewn together with a different fold.  Very easy!

A good reminder that decoration don't have to be expensive...especially for kids. In fact, this allowed me to be much more personal for Mr. S...and his Red Cake Party!
