It’s been awhile since we’ve come up with dollar store crafty ideas for a party theme. You all have such great input. I have a good one for you today, so get your brainstorms ready! Reader Crista at the Dollar Store Crafts Facebook<\/a> page asked for some help:<\/p>\n

I am planning a Alice and wonderland Costume party for my soon to be 4 yr old in October and need ideas on how to do this inexpensively.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Tea Party: <\/strong>First thing I think of for an Alice in Wonderland theme is a mad tea party<\/strong>! Your 4 year-old is definitely old enough to enjoy a tea party (I have been doing small tea parties with my sons since they were 18 months old, and at about 2-1\/2 they really get into it and are able to pour tea, etc.). If you already have a tea set and tea cups, then you’re halfway there. If you don’t, maybe a miniature tea set would be a good gift for your child.<\/p>\n

Serving Tray: <\/strong>I love the serving tray shown above (found at Alice-In-Wonderland.net<\/a>), made with plates, tea cups, and a teapot. You can easily make these using the instructions from the tiered serving tray<\/a>, but use mismatched tea service stuff (find it at the thrift store).<\/p>\n

Eat Me Cakes:<\/strong> Use the Twinkie Bon-Bon<\/a> instructions to make adorable bite-sized cakes (just write “eat me” with a fine decorating tip or edible marker). I also like the Eat Me cakes<\/a> at Sprinkle Bakes<\/strong>. You can also serve any kind of cupcake or cake and just put it on a paper doily marked “eat me.” You can get large packs of doilies in the wedding section of the dollar store. (I like this pretty pastel doily-dyeing project<\/a> at Decor to Adore<\/strong>, too).<\/p>\n

“Rabbit Ear” Headbands:<\/strong> I like these fashion-inspired headbands, and I think they’d be fun party favors for an Alice in Wonderland party. Find out how to make them at Chic Steals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
