I had the best time helping my friend throw her daughter a Peppa Pig™ Birthday Party. The popular pig cartoon is such a fun party theme for a bunch of squealing 2-year-olds. And what Peppa Pig™ party is complete without a DIY Pig Party Garland?! Actually, this pig garland would work perfectly at a farm animal or barnyard birthday party as well. I just adore this pink piggy nose garland, and it’s oh so simple to make your own.
First, you’ll need to make the pig noses. Using pink construction paper and an oval stencil (or something round or oval in your house), trace 4-6 pig noses. The length of your garland will determine how many pig noses you need to make. Cut out the pink ovals with scissors.
Using a black Sharpie® marker, draw two small circles on each pink oval to make it look like a pig nose.
Create tape loops and tape the pink pig noses to the assembled mini light pink paper lanterns.
Lay out the light pink tassel garland on a table. String some fishing wire through the metal hook on a mini lantern and tie it to the garland string. Continue adding mini lanterns to the tassel garland until you fill it up with pig noses. You could put the pig noses between every tissue tassel, or after every two tissue tassels. Whichever you prefer! It’s easy to slide the tissue tassels along the garland string if you need to move them a bit.
