Idea board: Party Streamers

I know, I know.  I have neglected to blog in FOREVER and I'm sure you all are tired of hearing that by now!  But seriously... it's been FOREVER!  And the thing is, I've done sooo many new projects these past few months (like having a booth at my very first CRAFT FAIR!  More on that soon) that I haven't even thought about this blog. 

Anyways, enough with the excuses. 

I'm in the middle of planning my good friend's baby shower and thought I'd share a few decorating ideas that I've found in the process.  I bought a few packs of streamers from the dollar store and began thinking of creative ways that I could use them.  Since the shower hasn't happened yet and the time hasn't come to implement my plans I turned to google for some inspiration to share!

1.  Streamers can be used to add an extra splash of color to a white table cloth or candles.

 2.  Add streamers to balloons for a ruffled look or to the table in a plaid pattern.

 3.  Make a wreath using streamers.

 4.  Combine two different colored streamers and twist together.

 5.  Twist streamers together and use as a backdrop.

Hope these ideas help add extra flair to your upcoming holiday parties!  Make a backdrop out of streamers for your food table on Thanksgiving or a Christmas wreath out of red, green, and white streamers!  SO cheap and easy!
