With different recycled crafts, easy recipes and a free template to download. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our little girl is not that little anymore and this month we have celebrated her 4th birthday. She asked for a star cake, and one thing to another we ended planing a small space birthday table, and it needed to be upcycled, easy and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create the table decor we recycled cardboards and bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the foodies I planned the birthday cake, energy balls, muffins and also a donut cake that we brought to school for my girl&#8217;s teacher and classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY space table decors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardboard rockets, jet packs, and handmade garland or toppers that I created on Canva and you can download for free on today&#8217;s blog post (scroll down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the blog post about these upcycled space crafts <a href=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com2023\/04\/18\/diy-space-rockets-from-cardboard-and-bottles\/\">here<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/55ef5-dsc_7504288141739610210502.jpg?w=683&amp;h=1024\" alt=\"Astronaut jet pack \" class=\"wp-image-5991\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/496b1-dsc_74833321985120923207104.jpg?w=683&amp;h=1024\" alt=\"Cardboard astronaut helmet\" class=\"wp-image-5989\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2cc08-dsc_74779051121203204432607.jpg?w=683&amp;h=1024\" alt=\"Cardboard space rocket\" class=\"wp-image-5990\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I added a letter board with the text &#8220;to the moon and back&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/93af6-dsc_74763247594256122079972.jpg?w=683&amp;h=1024\" alt=\"Wooden letter board \" class=\"wp-image-5998\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0873d-dsc_74826270513072734748825.jpg?w=683&amp;h=1024\" alt=\"Handmade space garland \" class=\"wp-image-5997\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also crafted a cardboard solar system and added different marble balls to recreate the planets.
