But to make them fit the cat theme, you can do a few simple things to create a cat face on them after inflating them. Either you use felt-tip pens and draw the face or you cut out thin strips of paper and ears and glue them onto the balloon. Do not use hot glue here as it may cause the balloon to burst. The cat decoration looks very nice, especially in groups of three balloons that float at different heights.
Cat themed birthday rosettes
You can also create rosettes in the same way and use them to decorate the wall or other areas. Simple paper strips are also used here, which should have a contrasting color in order to be clearly visible. Add a pair of ears and you're done. You can also get a cat like this for your birthday by using felt instead of paper for the individual elements. This also applies to the balloons. In addition to the cat paper fan, you can also design another one with “Meow”. The lettering can be easily cut out of paper after typing on the computer and printing it out.

A garland like this as a decoration is guaranteed to make everyone smile and create the perfect atmosphere. What's more, it's not difficult to make them. First prepare a stencil for the party decoration. This way you can make sure that all cat heads are the same. You get the stencil by drawing a cat's head on a piece of paper or cardboard and then cutting it out. With their help, draw and cut out all the other cats out of colorful paper. You are also welcome to use the following templates to print out. Then paint on the nose and eyes.

And there are hardly any craft projects as simple as this one. The ears are simply bent from pipe cleaners and then attached to a headband.
Make your own cat plate
You can also choose the plates to match the funny birthday motto with a cat. Since it would be difficult and expensive to buy new cat-themed plates, you can instead make your own from craft clay and then paint them with suitable non-toxic paints like cats.
It's even quicker and easier to use paper plates that you paint or just decorate with ears. The drinking cups can also be decorated in the same way. And you don’t even have to have any special crafting talent for these DIY ideas. Even beginners will have no difficulties.
Edible decorations made from marshmallows
These birthday decorations with a cat theme are very simple and can even be snacked on in between. Simple marshmallows are simply cut with clean scissors to create cat ears and head. The face is then drawn with edible felt-tip pens, after which the marshmallows are placed on straws or skewers.
Design cupcakes and cakes for the cat's birthday
Of course, desserts should not be missing at a party and can also be designed to match the theme thanks to a variety of elements. No matter whether you use the topping to create cat paws or faces or simply make matching plugs that you then put into the little tarts, the desserts will be real eye-catchers and hardly anyone will be able to wait to finally try them. If you make the shape of the plugs a little larger, you can even use them to make invitation cards.
Also a rather simply shaped oneBirthday cakeYou can decorate this way if you no longer have the time to bake an elaborate one. Use a cake piping tool to paint simple birthday cat pictures on the surface and the cake will become something very special and individual. Alternatively, you can put together an original cake using two cake layers for the head and body. They are simply placed next to each other. Cut out the tail and ears from a third, smaller base and attach them to the cat cake. Now all you have to do is cover the cake with a cream or topping.
