DIY 3D Spiderman Party Invitation

My son goes through many different phases. Like any fan girl, once he likes something, he is devoted and obsessed. A couple of years ago it was Woody, last year it was Iron Man, this year it is Spiderman. And just like all those previous years, he wants EVERYTHING covered in his latest love. Shirts, walls, plates, shoes, dear god he even asked his barber to shave spiderwebs into his hair.
So what do you think he said when I asked him what theme he wanted his birthday to be this year? You got it! Spiderman! He claimed Peter Parkers thrown, while I was playing Peter Porker trying to organise an intimate and fun Spiderman birthday for my son on a tight budget.

This is a DIY tutorial on how I made the invitations for my baby boys 5th Spiderman Birthday Party

What you will need:

• Spiderman Template Downloadable Template HERE
• A4 BLACK cardboard
• A4 RED cardboard
• A4 BLUE cardboard
• A4 WHITE cardboard
• Led Pencil
• Scissors
• Double sided foam tape (Available at majority craft and dollar stores. I bought mine from the Reject Shop).
• Printer
• Invitation (My one is available for customised order from my Etsy store, feel free to CLICK HERE to place an order).

Step One
Cut out the eyes from the printed template.
You can download the template at Spiderman Invitation Template. I've made this template at the size to fit two invitations on one A4 paper. You can adjust the size to what you desire.

Step Two

Trace the eyes onto your black cardboard and cut it out. 

Step Three

Cut the white part of the eyes from the template. 

Step Four

Trace it onto your white piece of cardboard. Continue by cutting them out.

Step Five

Cut your blue A4 piece of cardboard in half. This will be the foundation of your invitation. 

Step Six

Print another copy of the template onto red coloured cardboard. 

 

Step Seven

Cut them out 

Step Eight

Using your double sided foam tape, cut and secure the pieces to the back of the red Spiderman mask. If you would like it to be more pronounced and 3D you can stack more than one piece of tape on top of each other. 

Step Nine

Stick the taped mask onto the front side of your blue cardboard. 

Step Ten

Repeat Step Nine for the black part of the eyes and then the white part of the eyes to assemble and complete the entire 3D mask. 

Step Eleven

On the back side of the invitation, use the double-sided foam tape to attach the information for the party. This is one that is available on my Etsy store for digital copy order. Click HERE if you're interested. 

And you're done! Invitations are ready to be sent out and a celebration is ready to be had!

I hope you all enjoyed today's DIY post. Feel free to comment with any questions you may have in regards to the DIY.
