Cheap, well free, party decorations
This tip has been waiting to be shared for a few weeks now, but today is your lucky day.
Ok, now, go to your local hardware shop and grab a bunch of paint color swatches. We picked a whole line of similar intensity ones, so they work well together, but you be creative and go with whatever. Yellow and black for a Bee party, shades of green for Saint Patrick and so on.
Then decorate at your hearts content. I put the kids to work and they did big circles on ours, as we had a Dot themed party.
They had too much fun with that.
Then I used some white paint and sloppily wrote the letters.
Some string and little cute pegs we had lying around and
Voila!
I have a few left overs and I wonder what else we can make of them. Maybe I should look around, I am sure people have gotten creative with this free source of colored paper.
Thrifty out.
what a super duper sneaky clever idea!
Consider it stolen :D
Hi! I found your blog through the bloggers choice website and I’ve been reading it quite often. I promise I’m not a creep, I’m just a college girl from Tennessee who loves to hear about happy families… Your family seems really great.
I just thought I’d leave a comment so I could quit feeling so creepy.
Jessie, nice to have you around, creepy or not ;)
Bec, let me know what you come up with.
That is such a clever idea!!! OOOH so I nominate you for the super crafty mom award!
