Dessert Is Served
Whether you're hosting a special birthday party or anniversary gathering, top your cakes and cupcakes with simple paper toppers highlighting the reason for the celebration.

Giant Wall Flowers
Create major impact with a wall of oversized flowers using materials you likely already have on hand: scrapbook paper, cardboard circles, scissors and double-sided tape. Get the instructions here.
Flowers Without the Fuss
As Chelsea Fuss of Frolic! proves, you don't need a florist degree to create a centerpiece of fresh blooms that will wow guests. For a similar rustic farmhouse style, use a ceramic pot with a liner as your vase and use a ball of chicken wire to secure stems. To arrange flowers, choose a bloom to arch to the right and a larger bloom to arch down toward the floor. And don't be afraid to use fruit — this centerpiece includes hydrangea (pulled apart so it doesn't overwhelm the arrangement), honeysuckle and apples right from the tree. Photography by Chelsea Fuss
No-Sew Garlands
Garlands add an eye-catching backdrop to any party, but most DIY garlands require a sewing machine and a trip to the craft store for supplies. That's why we love these no-sew recycled paper garlands that make use of materials you have lying around the house. All you need is string or thread, recycled catalogs or magazines, a glue stick and scissors. (And if you have a circle hole punch, that will make the project even easier.) Style your garland with a fun sign to greet guests as they enter the party. Design and photography by Brittni Mehlhoff of Papernstitch
Map Tablecloth
Give old maps new use as tablecloths. Hold on to any road maps or country/city maps; then cover your table surface with them before guests arrive. This will help protect the surface while also adding color and pattern.
The Soda Stand Is Open
Make your cooler of drinks part of the decor by creating a fun soda stand. Prepare two wooden dowels of the same length by screwing an eyehook into the ends. Prop them up in a bucket full of ice and bottled drinks, and hang a paper banner between the two dowels. Now everyone will definitely know where to go for ice-cold drinks. Design and photography by Olivia Kanaley of A Field Journal
Star Power
When hosting a large group for a summer bash, paper cups are the most economical drinkware, but that doesn't mean you have to abandon your design style. Customize any paper cups with a shape or motif that fits your party's theme or color palette. You can use a sticker maker or print directly on label paper to adhere the shapes to the cups. Design and photography by Olivia Kanaley of A Field Journal
Light Up Your Garden
String up lights and lanterns around your outdoor space to give an enchanting twinkle to any garden party. The soft glow will invite everyone to linger outside in the nighttime summer air. Line lanterns and smaller string lights around your seating area, and hang a few off tree branches for a touch of ambiance. Tip: Lighting helps define the intimate entertaining space where everyone will hang out, so use various forms of string lights and lanterns to create your party zones.

Festive Flower Arrangement
Adorable for a Valentine's Day party and just as cute for year-round party decor, this oversized paper flower arrangement is sure to delight your guests. Find the instructions here.
Mix Veggies and Flowers
Look to your local farmers' market for the makings of a beautiful (and unexpected) centerpiece. Simply tie in fresh summertime produce with flowers as a table display. Look for petite cherry tomatoes on the vine in different shades, baby artichokes and even herbs like oregano and mint. Finish off the arrangement with your pick of flowers, like these blooming peonies. Flower design by Poppies & Posies. Photography by Jen Huang Photography
Temporary Chevron Wall Art
To create a festive chevron border that you can easily remove after the party, choose several different colors of duct or washi tape to pop against the walls. To keep the angles straight, pencil in guidelines and use an X-Acto knife to cut the tape. Be sure to take your time and use a ruler or some other hard-edged object to smooth out any bubbles in the tape. This simple project will go fairly quickly after the first chevron.
Duct Tape Party Hats
Skip the store-bought version and try your hand at these easy party hats made from construction paper and duct tape. Or better yet, let the kids decorate their own colorful party hats as an easy party activity. Cut a large sheet of construction paper into a big circle. Cut a slit into the center and fold into the shape of a party hat. Then simply add a few pops of color with duct tape.
Succulent Love
Accent the table with succulents for a simply modern centerpiece that wows and lasts long after the party ends. An eclectic mix of containers works best to display the succulents — think thrift store jars, vases, glasses and even old tin cans. Design by Jesi Haack of Jesi Haack Design. Photography by Sarah K. Chen
Decorated Cork Coasters
All you'll need are a few paint pens and inexpensive cork coasters for these cute party coasters that also double as awesome favors. Watch our video for easy decorating tips.
Update Plain Vases
Make even the most simple centerpieces stand out with a little washi tape, like wedding designer Michelle Edgemont did here. Select tape with pretty patterns and colors that match your party color palette. Then adorn bottles, votive candles, menus — anything that needs a jolt of style.

Fabric Rockets
Whether you're hosting a July 4th party or just want a creative way to line your walkway, these simple fabric rockets couldn't be cuter, and you can create them by simply covering empty toilet paper rolls with fabric. Cut a cone out of paper, or use a cone shaped paper cup and cover with fabric for the top. Hot glue the pieces together, and glue some ribbons to the bottom of your rocket. You can decorate with more ribbons, fabric or paint, or leave them as is. Line the walkway to your party with little rockets, or hang them from the trees and let them blow in the wind!
