If you haven’t heard we had the amazing opportunity to partner with Universal Studios, Walmart and Mattel to produce a movie viewing party for Barbie in Princess Power DVD and Blu-Ray which is now on shelves at Walmart!  If you didn’t catch the full party release yesterday, click here to see Super Sparkle and all her friends!  We are continuing this week with more Barbie in Princess Power Viewing Party details and want to show you today how to use the FREE downloadable Printables that we deisgned (when you purchase the movie from Walmart). We like to call this the “How To” of Printables!

We chose a few printable pages from the collection to print, cut and assemble.  (Instructions are included for all printable designs in the pdf files).

MUST HAVE supplies include: 

1. Photo paper – We like to use photo paper to print the majority of our pages because it gives a professional look and the color has a beautiful saturation.  It is bleed-proof {bonus}!

2. Hole punch – We typically use 1/8″ – 1/4″ for most designs.

3. Hand Lever Craft Punch – We typically use 2″ craft punches for circles and scallops, but other useful sizes are: 1″, 3/4″ and  2 1/2″.

4. Clear tape – regular and double-sided (we use hot glue a lot as well)

5. Scissors

6. 8.5″ x 11″ Glossy Label Paper and Iron on Paper – We use onlinelabels.com for our sticker paper and more!

These are just a few of our favorite craft supply essentials… now onto the “how to’s”.

——————————————–

Drink Wraps with Barbie Label Straw Topper:

– Print on 8.5×11 card stock or full sheets of label paper with a laser jet (to prevent ink from bleeding) or on 8.5×11 photo paper with an inkjet printer. (Ink on photo paper doesn’t bleed).
– Trim drink wrap and Barbie label with scissors or a paper trimmer.
– Adhere drink wrap to water bottle with regular tape or double sided tape (if you used photo paper or card stock) or use the adhesive backing.
– Adhere Barbie label to paper straw with glue.
– Tape straw to water bottle to secure in place for table displays.

Photo Booth Props:
– Print size is larger than normal 8.5″ x 11″ – there are printing options in our shop here or at your local office supply store.
– Once printed, trim with scissors and then glue to foam core board.
– Use an x-acto knife to cut out mask shape (or other photo booth signs).
– Tape or glue wooden stick to back of printable mask.
– Take photos and have fun!

Popcorn Box:
– Print part 1 and part 2 on 8.5×11 card stock or photo paper.
– Trim along edges with scissors.
– Fold on dotted lines.
– Assemble the 2 parts together by using double sided tape along the tabs.

To go along with the popcorn boxes, movie kits are essential which include a printable movie bingo card, candies in printable candy box wraps and pop bottles with more printable drink wraps.

Mirror Vanity Embellishment:
– Print size is larger than normal 8.5″ x 11″ – there are printing options in our shop here or at your local office supply store.
– Take existing full length mirror and tape ribbon along edges.
– Once printed, trim printable mirror vanity embellishment.
– Tape embellishment to top of mirror.
– Now you have turned a normal everyday mirror into a Super Sparkle mirror!
