This TikTok parent shared an awesomely simple hack to make your kid’s birthday special!
Ashley (@partyhopshop) is a TikToker and mom of two who shares party planning tips and whimsical balloon art. In a recent video, Ashley shared a shockingly simple trick for creating streamer decorations for kids’ birthday parties that should save parents time and energy while ensuring kids are delightfully surprised on their special day!
The video begins with a shot of Ashley standing in front of her child’s bedroom. Hanging from the door behind her is a glittery pink balloon shaped like the number 5. Ashley is wearing a matching pink sweatshirt and is holding several rolls of bright pink and purple paper streamers. A caption reads, “This tip is for all birthday fairies (aka moms).”
“If you’re the birthday fairy in your house, this tip is for you,” Ashley explains in a voiceover. “I started doing this years ago because my kids used to get up in the middle of the night or very early on their birthdays and I didn’t have time to get their door ready in the morning.”
Instead of getting up early in the morning to decorate her child’s door with streamers, Ashley shows how she prepares the decorations in advance. She holds a roll of paper streamers against the door frame and uses it to measure the length of the door. Then she cuts the streamer and uses it as a template.
“Then you have the measurements for the door,” Ashley explains.
Next, Ashley uses the streamer to cut streamers of different colors of the same length. Once she has enough streamers to cover the width of the door frame, she cuts off a final piece of streamer that runs across the top and holds everything together.
“At night, I take everything up to my room, lay it out, put a piece of tape over it, and in the morning you can literally set it up in minutes,” explains Ashley.
The video ends with a shot of Ashley putting the streamer decoration over her child’s door in the morning to create a fun surprise!
