Inexpensive and Stylish DIY Party Decor

By Janet

Of all the bits and pieces that make up a good party, the decor is my favorite part to plan (followed closely by the beverages). I've found that party decor can quickly get a) expensive and b) tacky, so here's a small roundup of inexpensive and stylish DIY party decor.  

 

1. Ruffled Streamers (Made via Nice Things Now)

An update on the old classic, inexpensive crepe paper streamers are sewn together to create a much fancier version.

 

2. Tissue Paper Pom-Poms

I recently made these for three parties--a fiesta, a baby shower, and a first birthday party. You can make a dozen large pom-poms for under $10, a big impact for a small price. All that's required is tissue paper, pipe cleaners, and a little bit of time.

 

3. Fruit Centerpieces

A bag of fruit and a glass container are the makings of a great centerpiece (and much less expensive than a floral centerpiece). You could also gather fruit in rustic tins, pretty baskets, or low ceramic dishes.

 

4. Balloons

Another classic party decoration that can be updated by using a monochromatic scheme and long iridescent ribbons. Choose one or two colors, buy the balloons in bulk, and fill them using a rented helium tank.

 

5. Tulle

Tulle is an ultra-cheap, by-the-yard, frilly party decoration, perfect for girls' birthday parties and baby showers. How fabulous is the tutu table skirt from P if for Party?

Do you have any favorite inexpensive DIY party decorations?

When you're in not good state and have no cash to go out from that, you would require to take the home loans. Just because that will aid you emphatically. I take consolidation loans every year and feel OK just because of it.
