How to Create Party Decorations with Your Cricut

Create stylish and simple decorations for any celebration using the Cricut Maker. The possibilities are endless with simple supplies like paper, vinyl, and chipboard.

If your guest of honor is as sweet as honey and loves buzzing around consider a bee-themed party that is full of fun DIY projects and ideas.

I love using my Cricut Maker to create everything from home decor to party decorations.  I love it so much because you can customize and personalize your party decor and turn ordinary supplies into an extraordinary celebration.

As spring approaches and the flowers start blooming everything around is buzzing with excitement.  This is what inspired this bee-themed party.  I wanted a bright and cheerful party that was versatile enough to be used for a baby shower or birthday celebrations for the young and old. A bee-themed party checks all the boxes, and creating custom decorations with my Cricut was so easy.

DIY Bee-themed Party Decorations

First, I created a hexagon backdrop using Cricut cardstock.  I cut out a bunch of shapes in different colors and then randomly placed them on the wall to create a pattern resembling a honeycomb. 

Create a simple backdrop and take it to the next level with a beautiful balloon garland.  The balloon garland was so easy to create with the help of the balloon tape, it was a huge time saver.  The backdrop created an instant focal point for a simple dessert station.  

Next, I created a custom cake topper with the Knife Blade and Cricut chipboard.  Why limit yourself to putting candles or cheesy store-bought toppers on your cake when you can create the perfect personalized design yourself? 

To make the cake topper I designed the Queen Bee SVG in Design Space and then cut it out on Cricut chipboard.  I spray-painted the topper white and added a hint of gold glitter.  

I piled donuts on my cake plate and added the customized “Queen Bee” cake topper.  Then I added a few buzzing bees by attaching them to floral wire and placing them in the donut cake.

DIY Hexagon Coasters

My favorite detail of this little celebration was the custom DIY bee-themed coasters and name cards.  I love personalizing anything I can for parties, I believe it helps make the guests feel extra special and loved.  It’s easy to create these cute coasters, click HERE for the tutorial and SVG to get started.

Cricut Beehive Favor Boxes

Finally, I used the Cricut Maker and the Scoring Wheel to create party favors for guests to take home.  Fill them with candy, Honey Combo cereal, or Burt’s Bee chapstick to give your guests something to remember the afternoon.

Whether you’re planning a birthday party, baby shower, or gender reveal party the Cricut Maker is a versatile tool that can take your celebration from ordinary to extraordinary!
