Bold and Beautiful Crepe Paper Decorations
Do you have a stack of crepe paper and a birthday party, shower, wedding or special occasion party to decorate for? We are going to look at some bold and beautiful crepe paper decorations you can use for nearly any special event. Just when you thought, crepe paper was merely for gift wrapping and specific crafts such as paper flowers!
In this article, we are going to look at a few ideas that will help you make bold and beautiful crepe paper decorations for any event whether it be a wedding or a Super bowl party. You already have the crepe paper and shears. You will also need clear drying glue. In addition, you may have some ideas of your own so whatever craft items you want to contribute make sure you have those items.
The first idea we are going to look at is how to turn an ordinary (plastic works best) bowl into a piece of art to hold your chips and dip. This project is very simple. You will need to either make stripes of crepe paper or if you are looking for a more specific decoration style, you can use craft punchers these are found at both dollar and craft stores. They are a small handheld plastic design puncher, similar to a whole puncher but instead of punching a whole through the paper you can choose from several other items such as hearts, dolphins, stars, flowers, or any other number of items. You will most likely be able to find exactly the item you are looking for. The best part is these design punchers are fairly inexpensive and can be used for other projects so you will most certainly get your money's worth.
For example, let us say you are hosting a baby shower. You can use pink and blue strips of crepe paper and attach them to the bowls with the clear drying glue or you can find a design puncher that has a baby item on it and punch out several of them using the crepe paper. Then simply glue the paper item to the bowl. This decorating idea is not only inexpensive it looks great and best of all you can design anything you want to set the theme of the baby shower or any other party you are planning.
Let us look at one more project idea using the same concept of the crepe paper and design punchers. You can make wonderful homemade gifts such as bath salts, hot chocolate mixes, or a baked good mixture by pouring the ingredients into a jar. Following the same concept and directions, choose a design that goes with the gift or the occasion you are giving the gift for and decorate the jars. Then you will have beautiful handmade gifts or party favors. Bold and beautiful crepe paper decorations are not hard to make all you need is a little creativity and a few supplies!
