Paper Dots Garland. Apr 10 Here is a little fun party garland made out of my favorite material: crepe paper. I was playing around with it for a different project and loved how these looked like kind of like candy, or else like little polka dots or beads. They’re so sweet. It’s a pretty simple project, all you need is a pair of scissors and crepe paper folds. That’s it! Click through for directions and more photos. Materials Needed: Crepe Paper Folds and Scissors Step 1: Cut off a 1.5″ piece off a fold of crepe paper Step 2: Grab the end section. Notes: This is easy but each garland took me about five minutes to make, so if you are making a lot I would turn on a nice long tv show while you work.

Vintage Paper Placemats {Printable. It seems Pretty Blog readers just can’t get enough of their high teas these days! In honour of this truly wonderful tradition making a comeback into weddings and everyday life I’ve created a set of 3 vintage-inspired placemats – each a sweet and simple backdrop for your finest cake plates and tea sets. While I’ve used crisp white paper for my placemats these vintage illustrations will also look great on other soft hues like pale blue, blush and ivory.
And if you’re feeling really crafty why not print these in reverse onto transfer paper and iron them onto plain cloth placemats! Happy Crafting!

You know how I pulverized a whole bunch of Skittles that Wrigley sent me to make straws?
Well, I had tons left over, so naturally I had to turn to marshmallows and lollipop sticks. Because it’s necessary to coat candy with more candy. To make Skittles-coated marshmallow pops…. First, separate and grind your Skittles (find those instructions HERE). Then skewer a marshmallow, dip in a bowl of water, dab the marshmallow on a paper towel, hold the marshmallow over a bowl and sprinkle the ground Skittles over the marshmallow to generously coat.

Zig Zag Accordion Streamers DIY. Mar 23 I made these cool zigzag streamers for Paul’s birthday last week but I forgot to take photos so I made Moses put on a hat and pose during Roman’s nap time today. My mom taught me how to make these and they are about the easiest party decor there is. All you need is colored paper and pair of scissors.
Really, its that easy. Step 1: Start with some colored paper in the shape of a rectangle. Step 2: From there measure about 2″ from the first and cut again. Step 3: Turn the paper over and make cuts (but not all the way through) half way between the 2″ sections. I love these streamers because they don’t have to be perfect, my cuts are crooked and uneven but they still turned out great. photos by Paul Ferney for Oh Happy Day Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. DIY Record Sleeve Bunting. Aug 17 This post is by Rebecca Wright of Animal Head Vintage. All photos by Robyn Kessler for Oh Happy Day. Stay tuned for a second DIY later today!
I run an online vintage store, which doesn’t usually leave the confines of the internet, but a few weeks ago I participated in my first pop-up shop. In-person you have to think much more about decor and presentation, so I came up with a few vintage-inspired pieces of decor to liven my space up, but I think they would also work if you were throwing a vintage or music themed party as well. Materials Needed: Pile of vintage 45′s with colorful sleeves String Two sided tape Scissors Step One: Take the records out of the sleeves and iron the sleeves flat if they are wrinkled or torn Step Two: Fold all of the sleeves in half so that a colorful side of the sleeve is showing Step Three: Cut your string the the appropriate hanging party length.
Step Four: Repeat this process until you have a bunting banner of the desired length. Step Five: Hang. Paper punch heart garland in Crafts for babies, kids and adults parties. DIY Project #15: Bride to Be Bangle Game | Penelope and Pip. My best friend is getting married soon and as her bridesmaid I wanted to do something super special for her on her Hen’s night. Where I live you often see a gaggle of girls out on the town on Saturday night with an embarrassed Bride-To-Be in tow wearing a giant veil or a big sash announcing her soon to be wed status on it. I knew my super stylish friend would rather die than be seen wearing tulle in public, so I had to think of a way to get her to wear something for the night to make her feel special, but also feel comfortable.
Enter the Bride-To-Be Bangle Game! This game is a great ice-breaker, conversation starter, celebration of the Hen’s relationship and also makes a gorgeous keepsake for the night – perfect for a chic bride to be. You could also adapt this game for a baby shower or a birthday. For rules of the game and how to play, see Step 06 below.
