Climb on into the trenches and grab up your army gear to create the coolest (and yummiest!) backdrop and snack bar for your very own Army Kids' Birthday Party! This amazing party backdrop will make your guests feel as though they are brave soldiers ready for some fun imaginative play. With plenty of camouflage details, some delicious DIY homemade trail mix, banners, burlap and even some army themed canteens, this DIY Army Trench Party Backdrop will have you ready to combat boredom and jump into some fun!
Start by lining the length of the wall in the army camouflage table runner and secure in place using 3M strips or double-sided tape.
Next, suspend the camouflage netting from the wall directly over your table using 3M strips. Allow the netting to cascade so there is excess to drape over other decor.
Now add some tattered swamp netting to the table-top. This will end up draping both the table and some decor.
Place a piece of burlap on the comer or the table for added texture and detail.
Create a DIY banner to hang above the center of the table. Weave the jute string through the burlap banner pieces.
Next, trim the signage portion of the army hanging decor from the fishing line. Using hot glue, adhere the signage to the banner for a simple and cute custom look.
Hang the banner using tape or 3M strips above the center of the table.
Start layering decor and food. Mix up some DIY Army Trail Mix Favors and display this tasty treat in decorative boxes using cupcake picks, gold buckets, dog tags and army stickers.
Serve up some drinks in themed party cups with black and white striped paper straws.
Add in some cool camo binoculars as fun decor and as imaginative play pieces.
Mix in some stars throughout the tablescape for an additional detail.
On the center crate, display camouflage canteens for an adorable and functional detail.
Enjoy this custom backdrop and snack bar at your awesome Army themed party!
