TOP 5 supplies you need for DIY party decorations and where to find them fast!

Here's what you need. No messing around. 

Fast and easy resources for what you need to

make your own party decorations.

FOAMCORE

This is a good size and an easy thickness to cut

with the tool coming up next.

CUTTING KNIFE

#11 scalpel blades and holder to get those 

sharp clean cuts and easy to get into points and corners.

SPRAY PAINT

Rustoleum 2X comes in lots of colors and is highly

pigmented to get one coat coverage. 

Glossy or satin.

It dries fast yet slow enough to allow for

some glitter sprinkles if that's your jam.

GLITTER

Martha makes glitter and sometimes you need a special color.

Sometimes you just need alot and basic colors.

We love glitter around here and...yeah...I know it's messy...

but it's so cool!

SPRAY ADHESIVE

We've tried lots of brands but 

3M Super 77 is

really our favorite. 

Spraying one side is usually enough.

If you spray both sides that you are

putting together don't expect to be

able to remove it easily.

Now get busy.

If you get stuck and need some advice or

additional things, shoot us an email.

We'll try to help.

If not, carry on.

Have fun. 

These items will make it easier.

Oh....one last thing I forgot.

Bonus Tip #6:

Get yourself a 24" 

CORK BACK RULER.

It doesn't slip on the foamcore 

and it's so much better than a 

wood one that gets all chewed up.

NOW I've just made your life even easier!

Back to the 90's

We started with a cute logo for a 

gift card box design

but it had items floating in the air. 

Mmmmm...let me think about that. 

I keep everything. I must have something.

Yup. Curly foam wire....and 

THE COLORS MATCHED!

Things like that make me happy so I took a 

picture of Stacey digging into the pile.

Here's the finished look below.

Since it's been a few months since I made

a blog post (because I mostly do Facebook, 

Pinterest or Instagram), I thought I'd show a quick

little look into our work room and give myself a

pat on the back for never throwing anything out.

Isn't this just the most fun looking party 

GIFT CARD BOX!

Thanks Lauren Loomis for giving us such a 

FUN LOGO to work with!

(Notice the card slot on top and letting you 

know there is a trap door on the bottom also.)

Life can be so fun and colorful.
