Homemade party decor #3

Banners!  These are super easy and fun to make, and since you can use any fabric you can find, these can be festive for any occasion!  Go to the tutorial >here< and be creative with it.  Change it up and make triangle shapes or maybe add some letters!  Here is what I came up with:

The possibilities are endless!  

Homemade party decor #2

Going off our last post about pinwheels, you can always make smaller pinwheels with oragami paper, glue the backside together instead of fastening it with a brad, and voila!  There instant confetti, or glue them to toothpicks and make them into cupcake toppers!

Add some ribbon and a large pinwheel and some ribbon and you've got a unique centerpiece!

Homemade party decor #1

Over the next few months I'm going to spotlight some great ideas for homemade party decor that will make your party stand out, and won't cost a million bucks!

First spotlight:

Pinwheels!  We are prepping for a party next month so today we had a pinwheel making party!  We followed a simple tutorial with our own twist!  We used cardstock in a plain gold color and matching gold brads to fasten them.  To support our pinwheels, we'll be hot gluing some dowel rods to the back as ours are simply for decoration and we don't mind that they won't spin.  The great thing about these is you can make them in any size you want and there are endless paper options as well!

Simple, inexpensive, and chic!  

Happy Crafting!
