My youngest just turned one and I threw him a monster party. The details are obviously lost on a one year old, but hopefully he'll look back on the photos one day and enjoy them.
I "borrowed" almost all my ideas from parties I found online- I'm thankful others are so creative! I found most ideas here at Nounces Design. I obviously loved her color pallette and REALLY wished I could spring for the black and white chevron fabric (I used some black and white polka dot fabric I had on had instead. Somehow I forgot to take pictures.)
I found the idea for these monster headbands at this party on Hip Hip Hooray.
I bought these monster books as gifts- M loves books...
And I made up an invite to put in his baby book to remember the occasion...
with co-ordinating masks and wrist cuffs...
My Etsy store is too hard to keep up with at the moment, so I'm selling these (and lots of other fun handmades) at 
Knit pink bear for D. She named her Ruby.
And a hanging triangle toy for baby M. It has ribbons and plastic toys dangling and batting.
Here's how I did it:
2. Cut into strips about one inch wide.
3. Fold in half.
4. Using a pen (or dowel, knitting needle, etc.) roll the paper tightly up to the center fold.
5. Take the pen out- it should look like this.
6. Repeat with the other side. The paper will form a heart that looks like this.
7. Cut a length of thread twice as long as you want your hanging to hang. I strung a small glass bead onto the end to give the whole thing weight. Then thread a sewing needle onto the the thread. Using the needle, pull the thread up through the bottom of the paper heart. 
8. Using a small piece of double sided tape or a photo mounting square, stick the top of the heart together, making sure to catch the thread in the tape.
It should look like this when you are done.
9. Follow this the remaining paper hearts, stacking them on top of each other.
