Balloon garlands have been around, but if you've never made one, it's all new to you! Every time I'd see a video of someone inflating two balloons at a time and then twisting them into sets of four, my brain would go blank and I'd think, "I could never make that." So...
Party printables are one of the most budget-friendly ways to create a cohesive, custom look for your celebration. While they do require some hands-on assembly, you don't need to be a crafting expert to get professional-looking results. If you can cut in a straight...
When Baby B and I were shopping for our St. Patrick's Day Party, of course, Easter goodies were already out at the grocery store. And when I saw the egg dyeing kits, it hit me that this year, a lot of folks might not want to waste expensive eggs on decorating. So I...
The other night, I woke up at 5 a.m. with this idea and I have no idea why. (I also dreamed that a friend was trying to go back to work 3 days after a hysterectomy and IYKYK. I guess it was a weird night?) Anyway, I got all excited about sharing how to make a popcorn...
I made this pink Halloween floral arrangement for my pink Halloween party (coming soon!) and I'm so glad I DIY'd it! Flower arranging is just one of those skills where practice makes perfect. But, it also helps to start with the foundation of good technique. I'll walk...
If you're following along on my Instagram, then you know I'm getting ready for a pink Halloween party. I'm doing a little bit every day — just like I teach in The Party Course. It's the only way I manage to work full time and throw all the parties I want to without...
For our Easter table this year, I made ombre floral centerpieces. You could use this same technique for any party, using any color of flowers. This look is simple to create, doesn't cost a fortune, and is a great way to highlight your party color palette. Instead of...
Run, run to WalMart if you are looking for cute neutral Easter decor this year. I went looking for new Easter baskets for my girls (found: rattan with bunny ears!) and came home with ivory flocked bunnies and this 12 x 6 inch wood bunny platter. This bunny tray is...
It's about to get so cold here in Georgia that I feel like I'm back living in Minnesota. And that can mean only one thing: hot chocolate. So when Baby A was home from college this past weekend, we made a hot chocolate board of mix-ins for cocoa. Yum! This is so fast...
'Tis the season for mini floral arrangements! These are great for your Christmas party or to use as teacher or neighbor gifts. Just pair the flowers with a gift card and/or note, and you've got an easy to assemble gift. Santa Mug Floral Arrangement Supplies Dollar...
In my Party Plans (see them here), I suggest ways to decorate your door for whatever party theme we're focused on that month. (We also cover color palette, invitations, decor, dessert tables, activities and party favors.) I always say that front door decor is a "nice...
When we had our 4th of July ice cream social, I had the idea to make candy dipped ice cream cones, but everybody wound up making ice cream Sundays instead. Still I had the candy melts, so here’s how to make candy dipped ice cream cones. Candy Dipped ice Cream cone...
Y’all, I love a pun. I’m as corny as a dad joke. Anyway, I guess I also have a thing for Shark Week and shark parties, so I thought: how fun would it be to put together a sharkcuterie board full of candy and desserts? Here's how to make a sharkcuterie board for your...
I made a couple fun — and easy! — party decorations for my Let's Go Fly a Kite Party, and I thought I'd share how to make kite party decor with you. You can easily make these kites and clouds. I used a die cutting machine for some the clouds and kites but you can...
If you love the look of the Pottery Barn mercury glass Christmas ornament garlands, but don't feel like spending $50 for one, I've got you covered. These garlands are so simple to make! You can get everything you need at Walmart or on Amazon for a fraction of the...
