Just goes to show that a good idea, creatively executed, beats just “throwing money at it” every time, especially when you’re doing something for/with kids. :-)

We found the laminate tiles there for the "walk of fame" (3 for $1) we cut out sparkly pink gift bags into the shape of stars to glue onto the tiles. then the girls used gold stick on letters to put their names on the stars.<br/><br/>the Oscars were simply print outs from computer clip art, pasted onto posterboard (with a popsicle stick for support) and taped onto the star shaped boxes (12 for $3.95 from Oriental Trading Co.) and filled w/ Starburst candy.<br/><br/>We bought theater sized candy for each girl at the dollar store too.<br/><br/>We found the gold stars 5 for $1.19 I think. and cut out more pink stars from the gift bag scraps. The red carpet was a great deal at $5-probably cheaper than I could have bought scrap material-at a party store.<br/><br/>it really came together well! lots of fun!
