Inexpensive Ideas for Your Upcoming Party!

I recently read an article on Seventeen.com called "How to Throw a Kickass Party (and Pay Your Rent)" and I absolutely fell in love with the article. I felt like I HAD to share the ideas they came up with. The editors at Seventeen talked about 5 easy DIYS that will make your party stand out, all while saving money! 

Light-Bright Coasters

Apply vinyl stickers to a glass tile, then spray-paint the whole tile. Remove stickers after 30 minutes. Use a sponge to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge (prevents chipping).

What you'll need:

• Spray paint
• Painter's tape
• Vinyl stickers
• Mod Podge
• Square glass tiles

Glitter-Bomb Champagne Flutes

Using painter's tape, mark off the area you don't want to cover (start a few inches below the rim). Pour nail polish into a bowl, then blot it onto a glass with a sponge. Peel the tape once the polish has fully dried. TIP: A shimmery shade looks sleeker than chunky sequins.

What you'll need:

• Champagne flutes
• Sparkly nail polish (shown above is Essie Nail Color in Beyond Cozy)
• Painter's tape
• Small sponge

Earn-Your-Stripes Serving Tray

Stencil a design using a ruler and chalk (or eyeball it!), then cover lines with long strips of metallic tape. Using a box cutter, slice the tape so it lies flush against any edges. TIP: Rectangular trays work better than round ones.

What you'll need:

• White serving tray
• Metallic masking tape
• Box cutter

Garden-Fresh Ice Cubes

Fill an ice-cube tray about halfway with water, then add flower tops or petals. Put the tray in the freezer until cubes are solid, then top off with more water. Freeze the cubes overnight so they don't break.

Double-Dip Wine Bucket

Use painter's tape to separate the area you're decorating. Spray on two coats of paint. Slowly remove tape after 30 minutes. TIP: Apply multiple thin layers for a smoother look.

What you'll need:

• Wine bucket
• Painter's tape
• Spray paint

These easy DIY's will make your party memorable! I plan on trying them out for my next event. A huge thank you to Seventeen for this great article!
