DIY Ideas

Some simple DIY ideas for your next event!

Pretty Fairy Lights

Purchase a packet of paper drinking cups and push the bulbs of a string of fairy lights through the cups. You now have some unique lights for your event!

Candle Holders

Collect some jars (big enough to put a tea light candle in) and clean them thoroughly. After they have dried, using one sheet of tissue paper (whichever colour/s you like, light colours work best) cover the jar with PVA glue and then wrap in the tissue paper. Leave to dry and voila! Pretty candle holders. Pop a tea light candle in each and watch them glow.

Photobooth

Using a plain coloured sheet (white is a good idea), hang it over something that allows it to be used as a backdrop (e.g. tree branches, a clothes rack, etc). You can leave it at that, or you can use some garlands to create a unique look (see above, metallic garlands) or you could stick some cut out shapes onto the curtain. Then you use a normal camera, or a polaroid if you have one, and take photos!

Name Tags For Drinks 

Instead of purchasing expensive drink identifiers, a simple solution is to use rubber bands! Place the band around a glass and using a ball point pen, write the person's name on the glass. No more mixed up glasses again!

Carrot Cutlery 

A cute idea for an Easter picnic/event is to bundle green cutlery up in an orange serviette (as seen above). Secure with a green ribbon and you have yourself some carrot cutlery! This simple idea is sure to put a smile on your guests faces
