Roll out your white paper roll the height of your party room (or at high as you really want).

Draw different widths of trees on the full length of these white sheets.

Birch trees traditionally have horizontal lines around the bark. Pour grey paint onto a plate and spread it out. Dip the scrap of cardboard in the paint and begin to decorate the trees in these horizontal patterns.

Vary the amount of paint and pressure you use on the paper to vary the prints.

Pour black paint onto a different plate. Dip a new scrap of cardboard in the black paint and lay it on the vertical side of the tree, along your pencil lines. Pull the cardboard towards the middle to spread the paint in different patterns.

Repeat this on both vertical sides of the tree. Choose one consistent side of the tree, in this case the left, to be thicker to help give the perception of shadowing in the forest.

Add some black horizontal lines throughout the tree to give some color variance.

Once the paint dries thoroughly, cut out the tree shapes.

Frozen Party - DIY Birch Tree Backdrop | spotofteadesigns.com

Draw twig shapes on the black paper.

Cut out these shapes and do your best to use all the paper as best you can.  

Cut out leaves in reds, oranges and purples.

On the party day, use painter’s tape to attach the painted birch trees to your walls, then branches, then the leaves. Tip: while most trees can stand upright, some can even grow at a slight angle or even overlap.

Add the black paper branches at different heights of the trees, making them all look as if they grew upward.

Your DIY Birch Tree backdrop is now complete for your Frozen party making it a great spot to strike a pose with photo props or rock a special costume!

Set them in a pattern starting low at the left and higher at the right. Friends can practice their gram worthy pictures where they “blow” the leaves upward.

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
