Rainbow Tablescape & DIY String of Pearls Balloon Garland

Rainbow Tablescape & DIY String of Pearls Balloon Garland

Saint Patrick's day is in three days, and if you're looking for quick and easy table decor ideas or last minute decorations, than this post is for you! 😉 Did you see the pretty rainbow balloon arch we shared last week? Well, this DIY is a spin off, since we used the same technique to make a garland that you can use to decorate walls or as a table runner! We also made a quick video to help explain how we achieve this look with a simple party trick using regular balloons!

As part of my green and gold Christmas Holiday tablescape , I made these cute DIY glitter ornaments to act as place-card holders on my party table. They helped add a little shimmer and sparkle to each place-setting, and were SO easy and quick to make! I made them the night before the party. Just shows you can create something special and last-minute, without much effort. And THAT is my fav kind of craft!! 😉

DIY Animal Ear Headbands for Halloween

DIY Animal Ear Headbands for Halloween

Confession time: Despite my love of parties, I never go OTT on costumes for Halloween. And I hate those shop-bought "monstrosities" costumes that you only wear once. But I DO like dressing the part for any party or celebration. So I tend to opt for some funky tee-shirts, crazy tights, makeup or a little black dress ( like in this post ).  And almost every time, I reach our for animal ear headbands to complete the look (the mean girls "I'm a mouse, duh!" phrase comes to mind...).

Okay, so black electrical tape has become one of my fav go-to crafty materials lately. You may have seen the striped boxes I create for my office here ? Well, I was so inspired, that I decided to spook-up my Halloween party balloons using black electrical tape!  They are perfect as party decorations, but also make fun photo booths or even as part of a funky costume.
