First, using black masking tape, create 5 long rectangles of varying heights.
Next, use smaller strips of masking tape to create building tops on one or two of the buildings. Multiple horizontal strips can be added to create a tiered building top.
Create windows on the buildings. For one, space out full length vertical masking strips and cross them with spaced out horizontal strips. For another, fill the entire building with black masking tape with the exception of small squares/windows at the top.
Create different window types in the remaining buildings using small strips of masking tape. Continue the pattern on each building down to meet the table.
Next, use a hole punch or a hammer and nail to add holes to 2 points of a DIY Unfinished Wood Star Shape.
Next, paint half (or all) of the star red. Let dry. Thread the finished stars onto Red Baker's Twine alternating with DIY Unfinished Wood Round Beads to create a garland.
Paint a Black Happy Birthday Banner bright red.
Remove a selection of Fabulous Foam Star Glitter Shapes and add these to points inside and outside the cityscape.
Next, cut out several POWs, BAMs and WHAMs from a Comic Superhero Cellophane Bag. Glue these onto Black & White Speech Bubble Bulletin Board Cutouts using a glue stick.
Fill some star and Red Round Mylar Balloons with helium then cut out lightning bolts in yellow vinyl and adhere to the balloons. Once complete, tie the balloons to Red Baker's Twine and secure to balloon weights. Tip: Multiple lightning bolt shapes are available in cutting machine libraries and/or google image search to use as a template.
Hang the garland across the front of the buildings and hang the happy birthday banner under the stars.
Complete the cityscape by using glue dots to attach the finished speech bubbles to the cityscape. All you need now are your little superheroes to protect the city! For more ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the Superhero Comic Book Party.
