The original decor of the premises for a birthday makes the holiday memorable. You can use numbers, balls, and garlands to create themed decorations. You can create them yourself using simple materials and a little effort.

A DIY birthday number can be made from various materials. Their choice depends on the overall design idea of ​​the room.

To create the main part of the decor, the following materials are used:

  • cardboard;
  • foam ceiling tiles;
  • juice boxes;
  • foam;
  • foam;
  • padding polyester

The choice of elements for decorating the base is limited only by the imagination of the master. Can be used:

To make the base and attach decorative elements to it, use:


In addition, you will need decorative details (bows, butterflies, beads), scissors and a stationery knife.

Types of frame

The main part of the figure is the frame. It comes in flat and volumetric types. You can also make frameless jewelry.

Basis for flat figures

The technology for its production depends on the desired size of the decoration. Flat products can be placed on festive table, fixing them in a flower pot. Flat compositions are used to create areas for photography.

The easiest way to make a decoration that fits on an A4 sheet. The desired image is printed on a sheet and transferred to a cardboard or foam base. Cut along the contour and decorate.

For making flat decoration large size the desired image is printed on standard sheets. Using glue, they are glued together with an overlap. After the workpiece has completely dried, the template is transferred to a large sheet of cardboard. The raw material can be a box from a large household appliances. Cut products large sizes should stationery knife.

Volumetric frames

A do-it-yourself birthday number based on a three-dimensional frame is more difficult to make than flat crafts. The most accessible material for a three-dimensional form is cardboard. Most often they use boxes from shoes or household appliances. In addition, you will need a stationery knife and tape.

To connect individual elements, use paper adhesive tape, since it will be easier to attach decor to it. A three-dimensional craft is assembled from two flat parts, the manufacturing technology of which is described above, and a strip of cardboard between them.

For the work to be stable, the width of the middle part must be at least 10 cm. Its length can be equal to the perimeter of the front part. This will make the work process easier. If it is not possible to use a whole strip, then the middle is made from separate parts fastened together.

The frame is assembled on a flat surface. The tape is cut into strips 10 cm long. They are glued to the side of the craft so that half of the segment remains free. The middle part is placed on the prepared base and the free ends of the tape are attached to it. Then the second side part is placed on the workpiece and also secured with adhesive tape.

The volumetric frame can be made of polystyrene foam or foam rubber. The desired shape is cut out of these materials using a stationery knife. When choosing a foam or foam frame, you should take into account that not all types of adhesive materials can be used when working with them.

As a rule, to bases with a solid soft structure decorative elements attach using toothpicks or pins.

Frameless figures

Some decorative decorations in the form of inscriptions do not require the manufacture of a frame. Such options include works made using the quilling technique and textile crafts, the volume of which is created using a soft filler.

To perform these types of holiday decorations, you need to have a template according to which individual elements of the decorations are made.

Making a three-dimensional number “1” for a birthday:

A child’s birthday belongs to the category of memorable events that you want to make the most vivid and unforgettable, so that the child is happy, has fun and remembers what a wonderful holiday his parents organized. Therefore, gifts are given, surprises are made, friends are invited, a birthday cake is purchased, and all sorts of decorations with holiday symbols are invented. Of course, you can go to the store, buy balloons, or invite home professionals who will quickly and efficiently decorate your home. But you must admit, this is not at all interesting! After all, it is not the decorations themselves that are important, but the process of their creation, as well as the wonderful memories left from the holiday and pre-holiday preparations. If you're considering holiday party decoration options, check out these step-by-step instructions for DIY birthday number decorations.

The most popular example of a number corresponding to the age of the birthday person is the version made from small balls, usually ordered by parents on the Internet (although it is very easy to make with your own hands). However, this type of decor has long become boring and boring. Now there are many more interesting and creative options that you can easily make yourself. They can be large or small, voluminous or flat, empty inside or filled with tinsel or scraps of paper (like the Mexican piñanta toy), made in a “girly” or “boyish” style (decorated with flowers and buds, pompoms and fringe). Let the flight of imagination be unlimited, it is worth trying any shapes, colors, textures, sizes.

Making frames for large numbers for a birthday with your own hands

The first thing to start with is making a frame. It is usually made of thick cardboard, which will not bend or break during subsequent decoration. Then you should decide on the size of the future figure. If you plan to make a figure within the size of an A4 sheet, feel free to look the desired number on the Internet, print on a printer.

If you want it to be larger than A4 size, you need to do the following:

  • Find a high-resolution image on the Internet;
  • Print the picture on two/three (depending on size) A4 sheets on a printer;
  • Carefully cut out each part;
  • Connect all parts end-to-end, secure with tape;
  • The resulting number template should be attached to a previously prepared sheet of cardboard the right size, circle along the contour;
  • Next, you need to cut out a number along the resulting contour;
  • If the birthday person is over 9 years old, this procedure should also be repeated with the second digit. For example, if a child turns 10 years old, you need to cut out the numbers 1 and 0.

Thus, the frame of the flat figure is complete. You can go further and make a volumetric figure. To do this, you need to perform a few additional steps:

  • After tracing the stencil and cutting out the 1st part of the product (front), you need to perform these steps again, obtaining a similar 2nd figure (back).
  • Next, we cut out the 3rd figure, placing it in the end part of the product (forming volume). The width of the tape corresponds to the width of the future figure. And the length should be equal to the perimeter of the figure (it’s better to take it with a reserve).
    For numbers with closed internal spaces (0, 6, 8, 9), you will have to cut additional side parts of the required width.
  • Afterwards, you should connect the three parts of the figure (the back and front numbers are located on the sides, the end tape is in the middle), fasten them with tape. It is better to use enough tape so that the product does not fall apart during decoration.

Important advice: The easiest way (if the width of the cardboard allows) is to cut out one long ribbon that will encircle the number in the end area, bending at the corners. This is much more convenient than cutting out separate pieces for each fold and fastening them together.

If you don’t want to glue anything together, you can use polystyrene foam or foam rubber as a base. In this case, you need to take a solid piece of foam plastic (foam rubber) of the required width (corresponding to the width of the finished figure), attach a number stencil, trace it, and cut it along the contour. Thus, you get a volumetric figure. You can use scissors to cut the foam. The foam will have to be cut with a sharp knife.

Options for decorating numbers with step-by-step instructions

When the base is prepared, you should choose one of the options for decorating the product. When choosing a decoration method, it is better to rely on your own capabilities, availability nearby necessary materials, as well as the age, gender, preferences of the birthday person.

It is worth noting that the decor will largely depend on the shape of the product (flat or volumetric figure). We hope that from the presented options you will find something you like.

Paper

If you are decorating a number using paper, you will need PVA glue, paper of various colors (textures), a pre-prepared frame, and a little imagination!

DIY napkin flowers for birthdays

Napkins make wonderful homemade flower buds. To make them, we take ordinary paper napkins, form them into piles of several napkins in each, fold the piles like an accordion, tying them tightly in the middle with thread. We straighten and round both ends. We begin to separate the napkins layer by layer, turning their ends inside out, forming a kind of flower buds.

We glue the resulting buds to the frame of the number using PVA glue, trying to make sure that the cardboard between them is not visible. You can choose any color for the napkins, but shades of pink are preferable, since thanks to pink color the resemblance to real flowers will increase. Of course, this option would be more appropriate for a girl’s birthday.

Important tip: The more napkins you use when forming stacks, the more lush and bright the buds will be.

Napkins can be rolled like a roll, slightly narrowed at the base and widened in the middle, giving them a resemblance to rosebuds. The buds need to be attached with hot glue as tightly as possible to each other so that an association arises with a lush bouquet of roses, decorated in the form of a three-dimensional figure. To make these rolls easy to roll, you should wrap them around the blunt edge of a pencil. This technique is called "facing". Pink and red shades of paper will look impressive.

Paper flowers can be immediately cut out of napkins using a stencil, several pieces can be fastened with thread in the center, and then the layers can be straightened, creating volumetric flower. Or there is a way to cut a thin ribbon from a napkin in a spiral, and then tightly twist it into small charming buds of different diameters. A foam rubber base is ideal as a frame, since it is convenient to stick paper buds into it using ordinary safety pins (only the buds must first be fixed with glue or thread so that they do not fall apart).
Each of these options is good in its own way, they all look very gentle and feminine.

Corrugated paper fringe

From corrugated paper, cut into narrow ribbons, you get a nice number “with frills”. To create this effect, you need to cut the corrugation into pieces of a suitable width, then glue the paper ribbons onto the product step by step, starting from the bottom row (the next layer should be higher than the previous one, covering its middle). The result will be something like a pleated skirt in which the figure will be “dressed”. This option looks very elegant. If the product is voluminous, each layer must be completely wrapped around it, secured, and only then taken on to the next level.

For a greater visual effect, you can first cut the corrugated ribbons with “grass”, making a kind of fringe out of each piece of paper.

Tip: If the new layer is made in a different color from the previous one, this option will be original and bright, which children will certainly like. You can decorate the number in the form of a rainbow of 7 colors.

Wonderful flowers come out of the corrugation for decorating numbers for a birthday with your own hands. Step by step instructions on production:

  • We cut the paper into strips (approximate dimensions – 50x3 cm). On the resulting strips, the veins should be located vertically and have a height of 3 cm;
  • We stretch the ribbon from the top side, creating peculiar waves;
  • We bend the upper “wavy” part by about 5-8 mm;
  • We hold the ribbon by the lower non-wavy part and begin to twist it slowly;
  • Gradually it becomes noticeable that the lower part (1.5-2 cm high) begins to form into a kind of stem, and the upper part into a flower bud resembling a rose;
  • The final step is to tie a part of the flower between the stem and the bud with a thread (thin elastic band the color of the paper) so that it does not unwind;
  • We glue the resulting corrugated roses onto the frame.

In addition to napkins and corrugated paper, you can use tulle (organza). Then the image of the product will become softer and airier. In general, these options (buds, pleating, fringe) can be made from various types paper according to your preferences.

Textile

If you're planning an outdoor holiday party and you're worried about rain or just aren't a fan of paper crafts, you might want to check out these amazing ways to decorate with fabric.

Butterflies made from bows

This wonderful way to decorate a birthday number not only looks creative and stylish, but is also very easy to do:

  • Take the fabric of the desired color;
  • Cut the fabric into medium-width ribbons;
  • We tie the ribbons into bows (you should not make too long narrow ribbons, as the bows may turn out “sluggish”);
  • We attach the bows to the base of the number with hot glue (you should first cover the frame with fabric to match the color of the bows so that the cardboard does not show through them).

Your number will look as if a flock of colorful butterflies is sitting on it.

Fringe of thin ribbons

You can decorate your figure with thin and short ribbons, making a fringe from the ribbons. To do this, you need to tie a knot in the middle of the tape and glue it to the base. It is worth noting that the knots must be close to each other to create a continuous multi-colored fringe covering.

Satin flowers

This option looks amazing and is quite easy to make. Step-by-step manufacturing instructions:

  • Cut out 3-4 circles from satin fabric (satin ribbon) (each should be slightly smaller than the previous one);
  • We light a candle, lightly scorch the edges of the fabric circles with its flame so that they do not fringe and look like flower petals;
  • Place the petals one inside the other so that the smaller one is in the center;
  • You can stick a safety pin inside the resulting bud, attaching them to the frame (it’s most convenient to use a foam base).

Threads

To create this original birthday look, you will need a cardboard base and a ball of thread. To create it, you need to take threads, secure them to the base with double-sided tape or PVA glue, then wrap them generously around the figure so that the cardboard gaps are not visible. You can give complete freedom to your imagination: use different colors, in any quantity and sequence, create patterns or even inscriptions from threads. You can use gradient threads (changing color as the ball unravels).

Also interesting option is to create a number by braiding small nails with threads, driven into a wooden plank. Carnations form the frame of the number, and with the help of threads its outline and internal color filling are created. In this case, you get a real painting made with your own hands.

Other materials

Wonderful decor figures can be made from family photos, which depict the birthday boy and his loved ones. This is one of the simplest, brightest and most emotional options in our selection. All you need to do is glue real or printed and cut out photos onto the frame.

You can even pin photos to the wall with pins in the shape of a number. The main thing is to choose truly happy and joyful pictures, where there is a smiling birthday boy.

You can make a number out of what your child is interested in. For example, create a base from a Lego constructor and decorate it balloons, fresh flowers, buttons, stamps, coins, using the papier-mâché technique, using dry leaves or flowers (if he likes to collect them for the herbarium). The main thing is a creative approach, the desire to surprise and please loved one. By the way, both children and adults will like this gift.

This DIY number will be an excellent birthday gift for your parents, brother, sister or close friend.

Making numbers

Most often, small balls are used to create such decorations. But not everyone can make an air number for their birthday on their own.

There are other, no less beautiful options:

From cardboard

You will need a large (or not so large) unnecessary box. You should draw on it nice number, appropriate for the child's age, and then cut it out.

From photographs

A kind of collage made on a cardboard figure.

Photo cards should be selected in advance and arranged according to the desired pattern.

From flowers

The cardboard blank must be pasted over with many flowers made from colored or corrugated paper.

The decorations should be laid out closer to each other, and in this way fill the entire base with them.

From pompoms

The meaning is the same as in the previous version, only you need to paste it with multi-colored pom-poms made from woolen threads.

From satin ribbon

Cover a cardboard number with bright colors satin ribbon. Additionally, you can decorate with beads or sequins.

From buttons

If you have a large number of buttons, you can paste them over a cardboard base.

From felt

Sew two pieces of bright fabric in the shape of a number, like a toy, and stuff them with padding polyester. Additionally, you can decorate with small felt figures.

With this number, the birthday boy will even be able to play after the holiday.

Pay attention!

Volumetric figures

If there is still time before the name day, then you can make a three-dimensional birthday figure with your own hands, which the baby can play with and move around the room.

The same cardboard is used as a basis, only this time you will need two identical parts. In addition to them, you need to prepare several cardboard strips of the desired width - these are the sides of future beauty.

You can assemble the number using masking tape or tape: to do this, glue the parts to each other one by one.

Frame decoration

From napkins

To create a “fluffy” number, in addition to napkins, you will need a lot of patience. But this is nothing compared to how happy the little birthday boy will be.

The process of creating a decoration is quite simple: a napkin (single-layer) must be folded in four and cut - you should get four squares. They should be stacked on top of each other and secured in the center. Wire, stapler or thread can help with this.

The sharp parts of the resulting part need to be cut off so that the final result is a circle. Then cut through the edges without touching the central part. All that remains is to lift and straighten the petals.

Pay attention!

This creates one flower. To cover the figure completely, you will need quite a lot of them. Having prepared the required amount, you need to glue the flowers to the base, filling the entire space with them.

Corrugated paper

A large birthday number decorated in this way will turn out simply incomparable.

In order to create beauty you will need a large amount of corrugated paper. It would be better if it were multi-colored. You should cut the paper into strips of half a meter.

The optimal width is 3.5 cm. At this stage, you need to monitor the veins on the paper: they should be directed along the future flower.

Then you should stretch the strip on one side. Hold the workpiece in waves upward and, grabbing the base, wrap it around its axis. Secure the bottom of the flower with thread or wire. Spread the petals of the resulting rose.

Pay attention!

Cover the cardboard frame with flowers. For convenience, you can use a glue gun.

Quilling

You can make a beautiful number for your child’s birthday by using the appropriate technique. Paper flowers mounted on a cardboard frame will create the desired composition.

When working on numbers, you shouldn’t regret the time spent. It is more than compensated by the smile and joy of your beloved child. And for inspiration, it is recommended to look at photos of birthday numbers.
