DIY Kids Birthday Projects Aren’t Always Easy

We’ve all been there before. You’re feeling ambitious. Your kid’s birthday is coming up and you want to tackle one of those great ideas you’ve seen a million times while scrolling through Pinterest or Craftsy. And why not? The pictures make it look easy. Heck, those timelapse videos make them look even easier.

You read the article carefully to make sure you can do it, assemble your supply list (what’s another 20-ish items and a new tool…after all, you’re creating memories) and trek to the store. In your mind you have a plan of attack that would make even the best CEO or football coach jealous. Nothing can stop you now. You’re well on your way to winning the award for world’s best parent.

Well, nothing except the fact that most of the posts on Pinterest or sites like it are done by professional party planners, super crafty people, or others with too much time on their hands or a combination of all.

Don’t worry. You’re not alone. In fact, you’re in the majority. We even made this to make you feel a little bit better.
