For my 30th birthday party, I wanted to have a kickass theme. Of course that means I chose The 80's! Since this was a big milestone for me, I went all out. The invite was totally bitchin' and the peeps had to come in 80's threads or they would be totally harshed on! I also decided that I was going to decorate the house in theme and that meant, a Pac Man wall. My supplies included black and blue electrical tape, clear push pins, two black plastic tablecloths, yellow sale stickers, and I had a color printer available.
I started by hanging two black tablecloths on my wall using clear push pins. The tableclothes were taped together with black electrical tape at the seams.
From there I used white chalk and plotted out the diagram of the game that I wanted to do. I did this by dividing everything into squares. After I got the initial outline, I started free flowing and applying blue electrical tape and yellow dot stickers. I had to cut the blue tape in half length-wise to get it to the right thickness. I also switched back and forth to each side while taping, trying to get it as symmetrical as possible.
I continued on for about 3 days until I got here:
One I was able to put the outline of the game board on, the rest was easy! It was like decorating a cake. I will admit, I cheated on the ghosts, cherry, strawberry and numbers, but I did do all the cutting out myself. I basically found the best authentic image I could on the internet, made it the size I wanted it to be and printed it. I trimmed each picture down to size and glued it to the game board.
I also customized the high score and game score to show my age and birthday. It proved to be a great background to some totally awesome pics!
