Back to school season is here, and love it or hate it; getting organized is on the top of our agendas, am I right?! But there's no reason why we can't make it a fun transition too! So I hope today's DIY Geometric Bulletin Board tutorial will inspire you to add a little flair and personal touch to your office or home space. Oh, and did I mention it's a super easy DIY? Yep, we don't do complicated 'round here. You're welcome! ;)
DIY Metallic Gold Geometric Cake Stand
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Gorilla Glue Company. All opinions are 100% mine. We've seen geometric decorations on the party scene for a couple of years now. And coupled with metallic colors, you really can't be more on trend when it comes to styling your party table tops! As a lover of metallics and geometric crafts alike, I'm always drawn to simple DIY crafts that can help me inject a little himmeli-inspired vibe into my parties and celebrations. Today we bring you just that - a cool but easy tutorial that ticks all the aforementioned boxes! ;)
DIY Flamingo Birthday Party Decorations
Flamingos are my latest obsession . I think it's mainly due the fact that it's the perfect summer party theme. And that they're pink, of course! Not sure they'd be such a hit if they were a different color ;) So for our flamingo pool party last weekend , we (my 8 year old daughter and I) made some DIY flamingo table decorations and headbands that double duty as photo booth props!
DIY Balloon & Fronds Tropical Party Centerpiece
One of my favorite elements of the Party Like Pineapple birthday table was for sure, the balloon and fronds centerpiece! Originally, I wanted to hang a balloons garland above the dessert and drinks station, but when I was making it on the dining table, I realized it would make a fab tropical centerpiece ! And so a new idea was born!
DIY Superhero Birthday Cupcake Stand
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.
DIY Pineapple Honeycomb Party Decorations
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 ;)
DIY Metallic Foil & Marble Coasters
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?! ;)
DIY Geometric Himmeli Party Decor
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! ;)
DIY Floral Napkin Rings
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! ;)
DIY Quick & Easy Citrus Candles
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! ;)
DIY Marble & Copper Foil Chargers
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 ;)
