Your
son has decided on a Spiderman themed party and for you that means
the adventure begins way before the party starts. Decorating for a Spiderman
Birthday Party can be simple or elaborate. A few simple tricks can take
your party scene from drab to fab and doesn’t have to cost a lot.
Spiderman Party decorations are very popular and easy to come by,
but if you want something different, here are a few
suggestions.
Spiderman’s basic colors are red, black and blue. Be sure to incorporate these
colors along with spiders and web. Other notable Spiderman
decorations can include the city backdrop, where he swings from
building to building, the comic book and the Spiderman
villains. With so many options you decoration ideas are
limitless.
Background Scene – Idea #1
Spiderman swings from building to
building inNew York
City.
You can replicate this effect by using large black
construction paper, poster boards or cardboard. Cut different size
rectangular shapes to represent the city buildings. Cut out windows
in each building and tape yellow construction paper behind the board
to have the lights on in the windows. Arrange the buildings in a
random order to create the city skyline. Adhere to a blank wall. You can also print out
Spiderman clipart and paste to the scene.
Background Scene – Idea #2
Create a comic
book on your wall. You
can use butcher paper as your comic book medium. You can create it yourself
and then add to the wall or can make it a fun activity for the party
goers. Draw or paste
the black comic strip boxes on the butcher paper. Using clipart or pages from
a coloring book cut out the characters you want in the comic
strip. The kids can
color the pages before you cut them out. You can put the comic strip
together in several ways
-
Assign one box to each child and have
them create the comic together. The first child starts it
off and each child gets to add their part of the story based. It’s a creative way for
the children to use their imagination. They can paste their own
colored pages to the comic.
Be sure to have different pages of many characters to make
the story interesting.
-
Similarly you can create the scenes
but leave the captions empty. Have each child fill in a
caption to create the story
-
You can also use the comic stripe as
a pin the Spiderman in the comic. The concept would be the
same as pin the tail on the donkey.
Spider Webs
Spider webs are synonymous
with Spiderman so incorporating webs into your décor is a must. Whether you use leftover
Halloween decorations or create your own webs. Spider webs can add the
right touch to your party décor. If you have time and
patience and would like to create your own spider webs, here are
some suggestions.
Use crepe paper.
Cut the crepe paper or streamers into long strips. Lay one strip on top of
another to form an X.
Now lay another strip on top of the x across the middle. Repeat the previous step but
lay the strip in the other direction. You should have formed a
“star” shape. Be sure
to tape or glue the “star together before the next step. Now using strips half the
length of the strips you used to used to make the star, tape the
strips across the other strips to begin to from the web. The longer
the star strips are the bigger the web will be. Glue paper spiders to the
webs for an added effect.
Spiders
Hang plastic spiders from web
and the ceiling using string.
Decorate tables, finger
sandwiches, cupcakes and more using toy spiders.
Other Cool Decorating Ideas
Hang
Spiderman posters on walls
Dedicate a wall to the Spiderman Villains. Enlarge clipart and hang on
walls.
Sprinkle
red, black and blue confetti on tables.
Fill up red balloons and paint Spiderman’s mask on
them.
Make or purchase a life size Spiderman cut out. You can
create a background scene or place a blank background. This is also a great place
for photos.
Your decorating is only limited by your imagination. Even if you can’t afford to
purchase the Spiderman party décor or just choose not to, using the
basic color scheme, webs and spiders are a must to create the
perfect Spiderman Party scene.
