We had our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday party a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait to show you the decor!
In case you missed anything so far:

Balloons
After seeing
this TMNT lantern post on Pinterest, I figured it would be pretty easy to recreate with balloons.
Just cut strips of colored crepe paper into lengths of about 2.5 feet and glue on paper eyes (I made the eyes in the same way as I did
here). Once that is complete, wrap the masks around green balloons and use a sharpie to draw on a mouth. Remember, you will need orange for Michelangelo, red for Raphael, blue for Leonardo and purple for Donatello.
Note- I also made a couple of black balloons with red masks to represent the foot clan 😉
Ninja Vases
I kept the table tops simple with a green Dollar Tree plastic covering and layered a black napkin on top. Wanting to add height to the tables, I used extra green crepe paper to fill a few cylinder vases with color. Once that was done I wrapped some more crepe paper around the outside of the vases and glued on a couple of googly eyes.
The table coverings, napkins, crepe paper, balloons and googly eyes can all be found by clicking
Dessert Station
Again employing paper goods to convey a color theme, I used blue and purple plates, orange cups, red and black napkins to add dimension to the dessert buffet.
I'll have a bakery post with all of the dessert details coming soon, but for now here are a few close-up pics:
Michelangelo Mini Cake
Raphael, Donatello & Leonardo Layer Cake
Colorful Cupcakes
Turtle Quotes
I thought it would be fun to print up a few quotes from the various TMNT movies and shows. I taped the quotes onto backgrounds to represent the four turtle mask colors, though the quotes don't necessarily belong to that specific turtle. It was really just a way to continue the color theme throughout the party.
Purple: A Ninja's most powerful weapon is the shadows
Red: God I LOVE being a turtle!
Orange: Just Ninja-kick the damn rabbit!
Blue: Wise men say, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza
Turtle Figurines
In addition to the paper decor, I also placed my son's turtle figurines around the desert station. These are exactly the same as the figurines that we used to make Christmas tree ornaments this past year.

And that was our TMNT birthday party.
