Transformer Centerpiece Ideas
- Create a small diorama featuring the Transformers to use as a centerpiece. Buy some small Transformer action figures, available at toy and big box stores. Use a piece of round Styrofoam as the base of your diorama. Cover the base with green paint to indicate grass, or gray to indicated a city street. If you are creating a grass scene, add trees and moss as grass. If you are creating a city scene, make buildings out of cheese boxes and other small boxes. Paint them gray and put them in the scene. Add the Transformer action figures to complete the diorama. Give the birthday child the action figures as a gift after the party.
- Use licensed Transformer gear as a centerpiece for a table. Find the licensed centerpiece and other party gear at big box and party stores. Online party supply retailers also carry the products. If you decide not to use the licensed centerpiece, consider using other licensed party gear as a table focal point. Glue three Transformer-themed party plates together to form a triangle (with the image outward) and use that as a centerpiece. Put a bouquet of balloons in party colors through the opening of the party plate triangle and set it on the table with a weight attached to use a centerpiece.
- Use a mask or helmet from a Transformer's costume as a centerpiece. One of the Transformer's name is Bubble Bee. He is one of the heroes of the story and has been been made into a children's costume. Use the helmet from this costume as the centerpiece for a party table. Surround the yellow mask with shredded metallic paper or confetti to add a bit of sparkle to the centerpiece. You can also use the gloves from the costume in the centerpiece as well.
- Transformers are technically savvy robots, so an electronic centerpiece would be fitting. An electronic centerpiece can be a laptop computer or personal DVD player at the center of the table, playing the Transformer movie. Another way to incorporate electronics into a birthday centerpiece is to have an electronic picture frame that rotates through pictures of the birthday boy playing with transformers, dressed in Transformer costumes or general pictures of him having fun. Set small action figures around the picture frame to help tie in the theme. Elevate the electronic centerpiece in case someone spills a drink on the table.
