Hello tatertots & jello fans!!! I’m super excited to be a guest on this fabulous website today! My name is Nancy Pfeifer. I am the owner of A To Zebra Celebrationsetsy shop. I love to decorate and style over-the-top parties!My little girl turned 3 years old and we hosted a bumble bee party that was absolutely darling!
I started planning 6 months in advance so I could make all her party decor myself. Here are a few things I handmade for the party:
Party Banners
Glittery First Initial “H” and #3
Birthday Girl “Queen BEE” crown
Sequins Hanging Bees
Lollipop Tree
“BEE” Candles
Bumble Bee Antennas
These antennas were such a hit! I wanted to make these instead of party hats. The kids grabbed one as they arrived at the party.
Would you like to know how to make these super cute bumble bee antennas?
Ready?…Easiest craft ever!…lol 🙂
Materials: black plastic headband, ribbon, black pom poms, black and yellow pipe cleaners and glue gun.
Take your pipe cleaners and cut them in half
Start twisting them as tight as you’d like
Grab twisted pipe cleaners and make a little “L” at the end before you glue on the headband
Then take your black pom poms and hot glue them at the top of the pipe cleaners
Squeeze the pom pom tight for a few seconds until it’s secure
Then hot glue the headband and cover it with your ribbon
That’s it! Here they are! 🙂
Here’s one of our little guests at the party modeling one for us! 🙂
If you’d like to see my daughter’s bumble bee party, you can check out my blog HERE for all the pics!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi, I'm a new follower. What a great guest post. My daughter was a bumble bee for Halloween and is now obsessed with them. Her Birthday is next month so I will have to keep this in mind.
OMG! I want to do an over-the-top party for my daughter's 1st birthday in December. I'm working on ideas but I think I'll hop on over to her page and see if she can help me!!

Party themes are crazy amazing. Love the Christmas pillow. Any chance you might share what fonts are used for each word? Thanks!

We didn't something similar for my daughter when she was little, only it was ladybugs! Very cute!!
So cute! I wish I'd seen this tutorial before Halloween, so T could have had real 'antennae'.
Such a cute and girly birthday party! I love the lollipop tree!
