Make monkey invitations for a jungle-themed party.
If you're hosting a jungle-themed birthday party for kids, you're probably already planning to decorate the house with streamers, balloons and other decorations that contain images of the jungle, like monkeys. Take the theme a step further and send out monkey-themed invitations, setting the tone from the start. All you need is a few basic materials from your local art supply store.
Instructions
1. Fold a sheet of brown construction paper in half, width wise.
2. Draw a monkey shape on the top side of the folded paper, using a pencil. Position one edge of the monkey along the fold.
3. Cut out the form, maintaining the folded edge.
4. Draw detailing on the monkey card using paint pens. Let the paint dry.
5. Glue pompoms onto the monkey's ears, feet and hands.
6. Curl a brown chenille stick into a monkey tail shape, then glue it onto the monkey's backside. Let the glue dry.
7. Glue two googly eyes onto the face of the monkey. Let the glue dry.
8. Write the information about the party on the inside of the card, using a paint pen. Let the paint dry.
