Did you catch the super awesome Superhero themed birthday party we shared earlier in the week? It was super creative and gave me the idea to use some of the printables to create a super colorful cupcake stand. This DIY is mega easy and you can make larger stands by varying the sizes, or even make several tiers like in this tutorial I shared a while back . The principle is the exact same.

For my Mediterranean inspired party ( see photos here ), I wanted to use some funky, abstract art napkins to match my relaxed blue tablescape. But it wasn't meant to be, so I had no choice but to make my own! The technique is super easy and works a treat for re-purposing old fabrics or thrift store linens you may have around the house.

Pineapples have been trending on the party seen for a couple of years now, and the trend doesn't seem to fade!  I think it's because 'pineapples' is such a fab summer theme for so many celebrations (birthdays, pool party, summer luau, tropical shindig...), and now with the Olympic games being hosted in Brazil , I can't help but feel inspired by all things "pineapply"!  So if you too are ready to jump on this tropical bandwagon and ' party like a pineapple ', then this easy and fun to make DIY has your name on it ;)

Father's day is approaching, and if you're looking for handmade but stylish gifts that dad will really like, then this post's got your name on it!  Come to think of it, I'm sure moms, teachers, neighbors, girlfriends...will love 'em too. So you even if you're not intending on crafting anything for father's day, you know you should totally pin it for later, right?! ;)

We're now stocking oh-so-pretty gold foil party straws in the shop, and apart from their obvious function as drink straws, they also make oh-so-pretty geometric decorations for our party tables, party backdrops or as hanging decor to embellish any party or home space.  And since wedding season is here, I decided to craft a few simple decor pieces to show you how versatile they are as a party prop! ;)

Mother's Day is on Sunday, and if you're looking for last minute ideas to dress your table, then this DIY is for you! Not only it's super simple to make and dresses up any plain table instantly, but it also uses materials you probably have around the house. AND it double as a pretty gift for mom! ;)

Come Spring we find ourselves eating more and more outside, like for the fiesta party  we shared last week. And there's nothing I like best than evening meals in the patio, surrounded by flickering candles to set the mood! Bonus points if your candles look mega original and smell subtly fruity! ;)

If you follow on Instagram or Snapchat (BirdsParty), you'd have seen sneak peeks of my home office makeover, which includes some DIY projects using marble contact paper. And copper tape. And marble contact paper with copper tape. Yes, marble contact paper, along with copper tape; are two of my current obsessions when it comes to DIY party decor.  And these plate chargers are some of the (many) fruits of that obsession. You're welcome ;)

Hey party friends, hope you had a fabulous Easter weekend! For me, it was a relaxed affair with the family and lots of chocolate ;) but also a time reflect and enjoy the little things in life. It's SO amazing how good it feels to take a couple of days off (properly) to enjoy cooking, eating and just taking it easy!

Bunny and Easter eggs crafts are not in shortage on Pinterest . But I tend to seek out EASY craft and DIY ideas that kids can help to make...or something that I can put in a ' craft kit' format for parties, like for Easter brunch. And this year, I'm giving the kiddos these cute DIY Easter Bunny candy tube kits so we can all have fun making crafting cuteness at Easter! 

For my green & metallic tablescape I showed you here , I made some quick and easy DIY pots of gold for each table place setting.  I love how simple these are to make with materials you already probably have at home , and in no time at all you have something super cute but also practical that does double-duty as table decor! ;) Kids can totally help too, and in fact, would make a cute St Paddy's Day gift for teachers and class mates too!

You all know the drill: it's Valentine's Day and all you can find are those cheap-looking grocery store flowers for your party (or for your other half). But don't panic, I've got just the trick to help you turn those last-minute wilting blooms into a swoon-worthy floral arrangement!
