30 DIY Dinosaur Party Ideas You Can Make At Home

February 10, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

Dinosaurs are such a classic theme when it comes to Birthday parties, I think there is one point in every child’s life when they LOVE dinosaurs.  Both my children went through these phases but never seemed to be picked as a party theme, which is a shame as I would have loved to given it a go. I love creating my own decorations and party themes, I have collected this massive set of dinosaur-themed links for you so that you can create your own DIY Dinosaur party.

Some of my cheat party ideas are to buy large decor items that will help theme the party room, for example, I am a huge fan or large party banners and party backdrops, here are some Dinosaur Party Backdrops I found on Amazon, these are great behind a food table or used as an entrance. You can even get customized ones with your child’s name on them.

And my favorite setup is this pack of supplies for under $30

The best thing about a Dinosaur party is you can involve dirt and leaves, trim some branches and load them into pots for greenery around your party area, and if you are cutting your own branches then these DIY decorations are free. Free party decorations are the best party decorations, especially if you are trying to create a dinosaur party on a budget.

Knit a Blanket with the Texture of a Ceiling

Knitwear designers can get inspiration from almost anything when it comes to re-creating a color scheme, an image or a texture in stitches. Sometimes the inspiration isn’t always obvious in the finished project, but sometimes it’s more literal. 

That’s the way it is with the Tin Ceiling Blanket from Purl Soho. Not just because the inspiration is in the name, but if you’ve ever seen one of these old ceilings you can see that the design of the blanket is quite similar to the pattern of the tin tiles. 

This is also a good example of the idea that you don’t have to use fancy stitch patterns or lots of color to make a big impact with your knits. This single-color blanket (designed by Gianna Mueller and inspired by a washcloth and towel set designed by Sandi Rosner) is made completely with knits and purls, other than slipped stitches at the beginning of rows to make neater edges. 

The pattern is written out row by row, but there’s also a chart, which means this project is a great opportunity to practice reading a chart where you can check your work against the written pattern if you need to. 

It comes in two sizes, a crib blanket and a throw. The yarn used in the sample is an organic cotton sold by the cone, which is a great way to get a large quantity of yarn and have fewer ends to weave in. In fact, you can knit either size of the blanket with just one cone of yarn, which isn’t inexpensive but makes you a great, sturdy, heirloom quality but still washable blanket you’ll use for years to come. (Of course you can use any sport weight yarn you like to make this blanket.)

Check out all the details and grab the free pattern from Purl Soho.
