DIY Party Backdrops Ideas with Posters

Backdrops play a huge part in helping bring a party theme together. Stylist are always on a lookout for unique materials and ideas to help jazz up our walls - be it for a table backdrop, for a photo booth or even as table covers! Wall murals, papers and canvases are some of my personal faves. The choice of designs you can find is incredible (think Disney images, graffiti art or any funky pattern you can imagine!), and a company like Photowall even lets you upload your own photos to create custom wall papers and canvases, which makes for a super cool not to mention unique party decor!

DIY Cotton Reel Place-Card Holders

In-keeping with yesterday's cute as button theme, I'm sharing how to make these super adorable cotton reel place-holder cards . They'd make fun photo holders too, don't you think? I used them for the Paris craft show (see on Instagram here)  last week, but you could totally change the thread to suit your occasion. I'm thinking raffia instead of the wool for Thanksgiving , or twine for a crafty party, or even lace or ribbon for a sewing themed bash or bridal shower!
