do it yourself custom party horns/blowers Transformers

So, most of you know that a pack of character party horns can run about $4-$6 for an 8 pack.

Well here's a tip to get them at less then half the price, PLUS have them customized.

I first bought 2 packs of plain sports themed blowers at my local dollar store, for $1 each.

Then using paintshop pro (or another paint program) I made circles about 3.5 inch in size with a transformer and the writing "Happy 3rd Birthday Jeaven".
I was able to fit 2 circles on a 4x6inch background to print on photo paper.
You can also copy paste them into a word program to print 8 on a full 8x11 sheet. The easiest way to make the circle is to copy a full sized photo from the internet, use the selection tool in the shpe of the circle to select a part of the picture to use, and then write over the circle with the text tool. additionally some cliparts online may already be circle, saving you a step.

After printing I simply cut out the circles and attached them using a glue gun right onto on top of the sports shape already on the blowers.

And there you have it! For just $2 and some ink/paper, you have perfect custom party favors!
