The Last of the Lego Party Tutorials: Goody Bags!!!

I hope you are having a great, what day is it? Tuesday. Sure let's go with it. I have one last Lego Friends tutorial for you today.

I previously posted about the Lego Friends Chocolate Molds, the Lego Friends Birthday Party, the Lego Friends Oreo Truffles, and today I am finishing up with the Lego Friends goody bags!

Party Supplies

A round circle cutter approx. 2 inches

A cutting mat

Scissors

2 Paper bags (to complete each bag you will need 2 bags)

Adhesive Foam Circles

A black pen

A close up of the foam adhesive circles you will need to attach the Lego circles.

Each pack came with 10 paper bags, 5 of each color. Since I just needed 2 of each color this worked perfectly for me. If you don't want to end a paper bags life, close your eyes now! I cut up two bags which gave me four total squares to cut from. If you can't cut up the bags, then maybe using matching card stock in the same color will help you through it. It was only about $4 for 10 bags at Target in the party section.

I took one of my circle cutters, about a 2 in. cutter I think, and cut out the 8 circles I needed for each bag.

I then took a pen and wrote the word Lego on the middle of each circle.

I flipped over the circle and pulled off one of the sticky sides on the foam circles and placed it in the center of the circle I cut out.

Peel the paper of the sticky circle and attach it to the bag being careful that they all line up.

Then you have a finished Lego block bag!!! Ta da!

Here they are waiting to be filled.

We found a few awesome Lego Friends Party Supplies while searching for the paper bags at Target. I had no idea that there were even Lego Friends Party Stuff out there, did you? So cue the image of my daughter and I jumping up and down and squealing in the party section of Target. We found Lego Friends Pencils, Erasers, and adorable notebooks with two different cover options.

Here is the other cover option of the notebooks and closer shot of the erasers. We also added the Lego Friends chocolates that we made for the goody bags.

And a pink LEGO cookie, tied with a LEGO ribbon, (you see where I'm going with this), inside a LEGO bag! Yep, we were happy campers, lol.

Please let me know if you like me sharing all these party posts along with my decorating posts. I think they are a lot of fun, but I'd love to hear your feedback.

Hope to see you back here tomorrow when I share some of the items I purchased for my next client's living room install!

Lego Friends Birthday Party!!!

Yesterday, we were able to celebrate my daughter's 9th birthday party and we survived the sleepover of 6 girls. So, it's a win win for all of us :)

My daughter decided on a Lego Friends Themed Party. I made a few different sweets. The cake, the cookies, the truffles, and the chocolates. If you didn't get a chance to read it, click here for the post on creating Lego Friends Chocolates.

Here is what we came up with for decorations and goodies...

A little girly time!

I decided to utilize the lego friends things that she had as decoration.

My sister and I worked on putting this banner together with the Lego friends butterflies.

Lego Friends Cookies

They were shiny because they weren't finished drying yet.

Oreo Truffle Legos (Click Here for the Tutorial).

The cake was a very last minute job, that I was still putting together when the kids got here, so please forgive the roughness of it.

And finally the goody bags...

Check back tomorrow with a "How To" on putting the bags together and all the little Lego Friends Goodies we purchased to go in them.

Also, I have a living room install coming up at the end of the week, so I will be sharing a post this week on what I have purchased for the room and what I hope to accomplish. Don't miss it!

Lego Friends Party Mood Board

Ok, so if you checked out the post from yesterday, I did a surfer girl room board for one particular little lady, my daughter. And today that little lady is turning 9 years old. As you know kids turn 9 well, in the blink of an eye.

So now we have the birthday party plan. This Saturday, Lacey is going to have a sleepover with 5 girls. I'm sorry, I mean 5 GIRLS!!! Am I crazy? YES. Did I say no more birthday sleepovers for a few years? YES. Am I a sucker? Well... YES.

The theme for the party is Lego Friends. Most mood boards I do are for customers that want a inspirational design board for a room in their home, but I just kinda' thought, why not do it for the parties I create for my loved ones too. I usually have all sorts of ideas rolling around when I plan a party, so this helped me see it as a whole. It totally took the stress out of trying to remember what I had to complete for the party. I don't know why I didn't think to do this sooner.

Here is the Lego Friends Party Mood Board I created...
