Scented candles can really bring a whole new depth to any space. The light, the mouthwatering aroma, and even the decorative jars they come in can all make a great party fabulous.

But you don’t have to buy expensive candles, not when you can make your own right in your home. They require but a few ingredients.

Make sure you pick out the best possible wax—either soy or beeswax (look here) are more eco-friendly than paraffin. Also, picking out high quality essential oils (look here) would boost the scent.

You can pick out a couple of jars you already have in your cupboards or from your recycling bin, too!

While these lanterns are made from paper, you can also switch them out with fabric, bamboo, silk, or even wood as per traditions and customs in different countries!

I love a good no-sew project as much as the next person. They’re quick, and if you do them right, they’re just as effective and efficient as the sew-on kind.

Now, while I do enjoy sewing as a hobby. But when I need something quick and easy for party decor, I really don’t want to have to pull out and set up my sewing machine.

This no-sew bunting project can  also help you put a dent in your stash of leftover fabric scraps from other projects. So, don’t forget to check out these DIY scrap project ideas if you’re interested.

Remember when you made those tissue paper pom poms earlier? Well, these aren’t too different from those pom poms, but you can tell that they’re flowers because of the curved petals.

Whether it’s to decorate a party or just to supplement another craft project, pom pom flowers can come in handy. So that means it’s time for you to put on a movie or sit down and binge watch your favorite show.
Make some popcorn and have a quiet night in while you make dozens of these pretty flowers. But first, grab some thread from here.

8. Mermaid Backdrop

If your kid is going through a mermaid phase—or even an ocean and sea life phase—then buckle up. Why? Because every single party that falls during that phase is going to be themed.

So it’s probably good that you get some mermaid-themed decor items ready. Check out this shimmery, glittery mermaid scales backdrop.

And you guessed it right, it is made out of paper plates, so go ahead and buy some here, or pick them up at a dollar store nearby. While you’re at it, some seashells and other oceanic embellishments like conches and blue table cloths might also come in handy!

Have you ever walked into a sunny room and just loved the feel and look of the space? You know what the room could use? Succulents!

Trust me, this succulent planter is the real deal—even if it is actually faux. It can help you set the scene, so to speak and liven up the room.

It also throws off just the right amount of sun, sand and the beach, if you catch my drift. So grab some of these styrofoam sheets, a hot glue gun, and these faux succulents and get started!

10. Superhero Photo Props

I’d like to say that boys grow out of their superhero fanatic phase, but well, I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. I’ve seen my grown-up friends get a kick out of superhero-themed anything.

You know what would be a real hit at your kids’ next superhero party, though? A superhero photo corner with a ton of props, just like this one!

Why don’t you look in your garage and check if you happen to have any wood that you can repurpose for this project? Also, grab some paint, too, the next time you hit your local hardware store.

11. Paper Flowers

See, didn’t I tell you that paper flowers are super popular? They are one the most inexpensive props for decor and for craft projects.

This particular paper flower is a little more elaborate than your tissue paper flowers, I’ll admit. But with a little help, some cardstock, and some glitter from here, you’ll be set.

The glitter is optional, of course. But I don’t know if I can trust a person who voluntarily turns down an opportunity to glitter bomb something, do you? So pick up some glitter glue from here.

12. Streamer Backdrop

Streamers will never—never!—go out of style. Any party that has a streamer background is a hit, and that’s something that you can see all the way through the ages from the 50’s.

First, stock up with plenty of streamers in the color theme you’ve picked for the party. A lot of black, silver, or gold generously interspersed with other colors can be just the perfect touch of wild and wacky.

You can even set up your photo booth in front of this backdrop. Trust me, it’s going to be the best 5 bucks you will have ever spent on your party decorations.

Can you blame a little girl for wanting a unicorn themed party? They’re so magical, and full of color and fun.

Here’s an idea: why not set up a little craft station and make these unicorns out of—wait for it—toilet rolls. You can have the little kids make their own party decor, keep them occupied and you’ve got a keepsake for them to take back with them!

While the unicorn with just the horn looks fabulous, I think a little yarn from here to make a braided mane and tail would be a smashing hit.

If you and your guests loved the scented candle from earlier, then you’ll also love this leaf candle holder. Didn’t I tell you that while the light and scent of the candle is great, it’s jar is also equally important?

This leafy candle holder is rustic and chic all at once. It’s a balanced mix of rusticity and earthiness, mixed with oodles of charm and elegance.

Not only can you use it as party decor, you can also make them to give away as party favors. Go outside to your backyard, or have your kids go out there, and scrummage for pretty leaves to help you decorate!

Don’t get me started on the awesomeness of tassels. Too late! It’s an addiction that I don’t plan on curbing!

Whether it’s paper tassels or yarn tassels, I can never get enough of them. They’re flirty and fun, they add texture and color, and they’re just plum cute.

To make a whole garland of tassels, grab some twine, colored paper napkins(look here), and some ribbon from here. Cut the napkins into long ribbons and use the ribbon to hold all the strips in place when you twist them into a tassel.

17. Number 2 Pinata

A birthday party isn’t complete without a little kid in blindfold whacking away at a number pinata while all his friends cheer him on.

Now this particular pinata might be for a two-year-old, but that doesn’t mean the parent can’t step in for a little therapeutic time with a baseball bat, right?

Grab some cardboard, crepe paper, the template that’s been provided, and your other craft essentials. You should also figure out what fillers you want to add—candy is always a safe bet, as are little party favors and streamers.

18. DIY Confetti Poppers

Confetti and poppers? That’s almost too much of a good thing. That’s like color, sparkle, pop and fizzle, all in one.

I think you should save it for the most special occasions: graduation, New Year’s Eve parties, birthdays…on a Tuesday afternoon when you need a pick-me-up.

You only need three things:

  • Plastic push up pops from here
  • Sprinkles or confetti fillers
  • Ribbon

The ribbon is optional but it does add a nice finishing touch.

19. Owl Pinata

This owl pinata is pretty special, isn’t it? It’s got such a lovely array of textures and colors, and simple enough to recreate that you can make it in just an afternoon.

The next time you’re about to throw away a cereal box, save it instead and upcycle it for this project. You will also need to wrap up the box. While you can use gift wrap, craft paper or even construction paper will work just as well.

Don’t worry, there’s a printable template to help you along the way. If you have any leftover construction paper after this project, then why don’t you check out these construction paper crafts?

Nothing like a few marble coasters to class up a joint, right? Just think of how elegant they’d look at your party, especially if it’s an elegant tea or brunch with the girls.

What if I told you that you could recreate that marbled finish with just water and nail polish? Add some sparkle and gold from these gold leaf foils, and that’s just class on a coaster.

Grab a few bottles of nail paint, first. It definitely helps to plan ahead so you can get your colors right.
