DIY Indiana Jones Party
How to Plan your own DIY Indiana Jones Party
Here is how I made my own DIY Indiana Jones Party. I would like to tell you about my Guest Artist Jesse Bechtold. He’s a Disney Sketch Artist who is working on his very own comic! It drops September 1st on Webcomic! Show him some support if you like strong female leads.
This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.
Decorations
Backdrop
Indiana Jones is Jesses long time favorite movie. His favorite scene is Indiana Jones and the snakes, So I channeled that scene in my set up. To start I used a textures green throw blanket and a rust colored curtain to make a jungle adventurer vibe. I topped this simple backdrop with my Indiana Jones Alphabet Banner.
Party Table
Working from the Bottom up my DIY Indiana Jones Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I started with a plastic black table cloth (Dollar Tree), a gold Plastic table cloth (Dollar Tree), My favorite leaf runner (Michaels) ,and a green fish net (Wish). To create the look of elevation I used a stepstool under the table clothes.
Table Decorations
My table décor is a fun collection of Indiana Jones inspired things that I had on hand. Everything was printable or had a purpose. From the right, I used my treasure chest to house my cupcake tower which I think worked out so well! My Indiana Jones cupcake Liners are either a treasure Map or a Snake bottom. I am particularly proud of putting snakes on the bottom of the tiers cupcake stand. “Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes.”
The monkey (Puppet) is a childhood toy of my husbands and felt right at home in this set up. Speaking of living for this Party set up was my “Art School” skull. I filled his eye with ruby gems and a snake (Dollar Tree). Up the ridge I displayed some old books to add some color and Jesse had a Indiana Jones HAT! of course we needed that. My finishing touch was a few candles to set the mood.
