More party decor

So I'm about 5 weeks out until my son's birthday.  Eek! I seriously can't believe he's going to be 1. I don't want him to grow up but he is and I'm happy and sad.  So because the big day is coming I've been a busy mommy and working on decorations for his birthday.  The theme is pool party but I've been primarily focusing on a beach ball for most of the decor. 

Right now I'm working on his high chair banner so I discovered how to make tissue paper tassels.  Now I could post directions on here but to be honest you can just find them on Pinterest. That's what I did.  I didn't want to spend the money on a fabric panner because I know it's going to get dirty.  And I probably won't use the banner again. Plus,  this was cheaper. Since we are a one income family I have to find ways to cut costs and I already had the tissue!

The main focus of the banner is the 1 sign and that is made from cardstock I had on hand.  Again I need to save money as much as I can so I went with primary colors to make his decorations. I'm loving it all. And though the day will bring tears to my eyes they will be sad and happy tears.
