Homemade Party Table Decorations

Paper cutouts can add theme-appropriate interest to your party table.


A party doesn't have to be an expensive affair, especially if you create decorative items out of inexpensive craft items. Certain items such as paper and stickers can go a long way in creating a festive mood. Does this Spark an idea?


Tablecloth


Drape any plain tablecloth over the table. To add some interest, cut out shapes such as hearts and flowers from crêpe paper or construction paper and paste them on a piece of cheesecloth. Spread the cheesecloth over the tablecloth. Instead of paper cutouts, you can also use stickers.


Centerpiece


For the centerpiece,use a large glass votive candle holder. Place a candle in the holder and glue items such as dried flowers, random puzzle pieces and beads onto the glass.


Snack Bowls


Prepare snack bowls that match the party theme using empty margarine tubs and paper. For example, you can paste paper cutouts in the shape of hearts on the tubs for a Valentine's day party, pumpkins and black cats for a Halloween party or mistletoe for a Christmas party. Fill several snack bowls with colorful candies or chocolates and place them on the table for functional decorative items.
