Hey party peeps, Happy National Craft Month! Are you looking for unique first birthday party ideas? If so, check out this DIY Mickey Mouse First Birthday Party Photo Wall featuring 12 photos of your child from their first 12 months. It makes a darling keepsake and a great way to celebrate their first birthday! I made this one to match my Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PARTY. You can make this board match any party theme by using colors to match your party’s decorations AND you can hang it in your child’s room after the party.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
– 4’x3′ canvas
– 12 DIY 6″x6″ unfinished wood frames
– paint
– paint brush
– glue gun
– self-adhesive buttons
– self-adhesive number stickers
– Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Banner
– 12 photos cut to 4″x4″
MAKE YOUR OWN FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY PHOTO WALL!
STEP 1: Paint all 12 of your frames with light blue acrylic paint including the edges. Let fully dry.
STEP 2: Once the frames are fully dry, remove the backing from numbers 1-12 of the self-adhesive numbers and place one number on the top middle of each frame. I alternated colors for a fun look. The numbers represent the month of your child’s first year.
STEP 3: Add buttons to all four inner corners of the painted frames (as shown). These buttons from Oriental Trading are self-adhesive which makes them super easy to stick on to the frames by removing the backing—no glue needed!
STEP 4: Print 12 of your favorite photos—one 4″x4″ photo of your child from each month of his first year. Get ready for tears! I was teary-eyed when I went back through my son’s photos and relived all the memories over his first year! Place the photos into the frame that matches the month the photo was taken.
STEP 5: Take a piece of denim fabric and pull it taught around the frame and secure the back of the canvas with staples or hot glue. Arrange the frames on the denim wrapped canvas in numerical order and attach the frames to the canvas with hot glue. Remove the “Oh Boy, I’m One” letters, Pluto and Donald Duck cutouts from the Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Banner and attach them to the top of the denim wrapped canvas with hot glue.
YOU’RE DONE! Display your 1st Birthday Party Photo Board as a backdrop to your Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Dessert Table! How cute is this Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PARTY.
PIN FOR LATER!
Cheers!

My husband did say the other day that when we have kids, we are not going to celebrate their birthdays until they can remember them – lol – PHEW! Off the hook for many years then! 😉

You are so creative! Switch it to pinkish for a girly look 🙂 hhmmm now am inspired for my easter designs ,:)
This is such an adorable theme for a birthday party and I really like the concept of a photo wall. So cute xx
They grow so fast, don’t they? This is such a cute idea for a baby boy’s first birthday. I love how you used buttons on each corner of the frame – what a perfect Mickey touch!
Omg this is so cute…am gonna say this for my lil one’s second birthday
OMG this idea is super cute. I need to try it with Minnie Mouse for my granddaughter.
Great party DIY idea! This photo wall looks amazing. Fun!
I’m a fan of all your designs. Such amazing ideas. I have saved a few of them.
Im jealous. This is so cute! And I envy you! I am so not the DIY mom like I want to be. They almost never come out like they should lol
What a very cute craft idea! My niece loves mickey mouse and would love this.
I love this idea! We took lots of pictures each month marking each one for our first born, but kind of slacked off with our second child, although we take lots of pictures of both of them! This would be a great keepsake to have!
This is absolutely adorable – love the idea of printing out one photo from each month so you can see how much they’ve grown. My niece is one in june so I might have to steal this idea!
This is just too cute! I would probably keep it afterward and display it on the wall in my child’s room.
My niece will be turning 1 in May, I will have my kids make this for her and surprise them.
I love this! My son had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party one year, complete with an appearance from the Mouse himself. It was so much fun. He wasn’t turning one though.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I pinned it for later`
This is a sweet way to celebrate a special birthday. I love all the little touches!
LOL…I know I would get frustrated half way through. This is fabulous
This is so cute! Personalized details make a birthday party so much more fun. Such an awesome DIY!
