Animal Party with Kanban mini Wobblers

More brilliant creative ideas from Angie: gorgeous animal themed party invitations, favours, place cards and decorations, using Kanban mini wobblers die cut toppers.
The Kanban Farmyard Friends die cut topper sheet that Angie used is pictured above. It is great value, as there are 12 die cut toppers per sheet. Other animal mini wobbler sheets are available, you could also use the Matroyoshka Dolls topper sheets.
First of all, check out these ultra cute party invites!
Use badge backs to make the toppers into badges then attach to the various items, or just use as toppers.
If you don't have the custom badge backs, you could use safety pins, attached securely with ultra sticky tape.
Being a thrifty crafter, Angie used the left over background from the topper sheets to make co-ordinating flower motifs with a punch.You can use glitter, wobbly eyes and gems to bling up the toppers.
Dress up plain favour boxes with some ribbon and your animal topper badges for your guests.
Toppers can be used to make place cards matching the invites and other table decorations.
With cocktail sticks, the toppers make gorgeous cupcake toppers.
We recommend though that you don't bling up the cupcake toppers, just in case it fell off into the cakes.
A balloon pot table decoration co-ordinates with the other table decorations.
Filled with sweeties, this would be a very popular focal point for the party table!
Last but definitely not least, beautifully co-ordinating party favour bags.
Make or buy a plain paper bag then dress it up with your toppers. Punch holes in the top and thread ribbon through to finish.

Have fun, and enjoy the party!
