I love creating party themes and this time around I’m inspired by the color GOLD! What I love about a party theme based on color is there are so many items you can buy to create your look or if you’re the crafty type you can pull out a can of spray paint and the hot-glue gun and go the DIY route.
The ingredients:
Gold Paper Lanterns—Party City DIY version: Spray paint white paper lanterns gold. Gold Flatware—West Elm DIY version: Buy some flatware at the thrift store and paint the handles gold. Here’s a how-to! {tip: a coat of polyurethane will make the silverware suitable for hand washing} Paramount Dinnerware—Z Gallerie DIY version: Spray the underside of clear glass plates to get this look. Gold Chevron Wrapping Paper— (used as a table runner)–Paper Source DIY version: Cover dollar store white shipping paper with Gold Chevron Washi Tape. Gold Stripe Stemware—Bed, Bath & Beyond DIY version: Here’s an easy tutorial on painting stripes on glass. Dollar Store wine goblets of course! Spike Napkin Ring—Z Gallerie DIY version: Cut a small Styrofoam fall in half, insert toothpicks and spray the entire piece gold. Glue to elastic hair bands to create your napkin ring. Gold Mirrored Tray—World Market DIY version: Pick up a plastic tray from the thrift store and spray it gold! Gold Leaf Gift Box—World Market DIY version: Wrap a plain gift box from the Container Store in decorative gold and white wrapping paper. Paper Source has lots of paper options.
If you want a super glam look for your party, this project is a fabulous way to create a gold sequin backdrop for your event.
{hint: Gold Labels from Staples would also work}
Don’t wait for a special occasion, any day is a great day to celebrate with gold!
