Cowboy-themed party setup with First Rodeo sign, brown balloons, DIY log cabin house, wagon wheel, and high chair with cake. Rustic vibe. 1st birthday

We just celebrated my son's second birthday and I realized I never shared his first birthday party decor! We did a first rodeo theme and I made nearly all the decor myself using items I had around the house. I love repurposing trash! Below is a list of DIYs, supplies, and instructions.


First Rodeo Sign

- Painted letters on cardboard, cut and lined with yarn.

- Cut RODEO letters out of cardboard and wrapped with twine.


High Chair Wrap

- Used scrap fabric and looped around a piece of yarn that was measured to fit around the top of the tray.

- Used a hot glue gun and yarn to write "one" on another piece of scrap fabric which I looped over the yarn.

- Threaded wooden beads through additional pieces of yarn and added to the wrap.


Wagon Wheels

- I did two versions of these. For both, use a kids size hula hoop and painters tape (or duct tape) to make the wheel spokes.

- For one, I used scrap fabric and wrapped around the wheel.

- For the other, I wrapped twine around the wheel and spokes.


Log Cabin (video below)

- Formed the structure of the cabin using a large cardboard box. Mine was from a new carseat.

- Used leftover paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls to create "logs" and spray painted brown.

- For the roof, I used pieces of cardboard that I cut to look like shingles and spray painted black.


Utensil Holders

- Recycled formula cans wrapped in scrap fabric.


Wooden Cactus

- Found these at dollar tree and wrapped in twine.
