A Dolphin Birthday Continued

Happy Friday everyone!  I just love Fridays. There is just something great about knowing that I don't have to wake up before the rooster does on Saturday that makes me in a good mood on Fridays.   

I am still working on games for my darling daughter's 9th birthday party. I found a cute bean bag toss on the net that had fish on it.  It didn't take me long to come up with a DIY dolphin version.  


First I got a big card board box from work and cut out the part that I needed.




 Next, I covered it with a dolphin table cloth from the Dollar Tree.  I traced circles on the table cloth with a jar.  I took off the table cloth to cut out the holes and then put it back on the box.




I traced through the holes in the table cloth to the box so that I would know where to cut the box. I took off the table cloth again and cut the holes in the box. Sorry, some of the circles are hard to see in the picture. 





 I put the table cloth back on the box and lined up the holes. I used tape to hold the table cloth to the box. This is a view from the back.




Instead of bean bags, I used soft cloth balls that I also got from the Dollar Tree.  Here is the finished product. 





I got two sets of balls so that I would have four balls total.

The cost of this project was a budget friendly $3.00. 

I just LOVE to save money!
