Today I finished decorating the kitchen for birthdays. Or least for now because I always end up moving things around in a day or two. I can't help but change my mind... Here are a few ideas to use...

Buffet/china cabinet

• collect plates or dishes with birthday decor on them. Hang them with other plates or just place them on your buffet.


• For a table runner use a fabric remnent. ( you can find remnents at discount stores, fabric stores, craft stores and even sometimes at dollar stores.) You could either sew a 1/4 " hem around all sides, use iron on hem tape, or just iron a hem on material so that you can use it for something else the next time..


• For small decorations check dollar stores for balloon weights. They will have some that look like gifts, or cupcakes, or even birthday hats..


• Add some pretty fresh flowers or potted plants.


• Don't forget lots of candles

You should now have a cabinet or buffet that says Happy Birthday!!!
