One of the best things about planning a party is taking a
theme and applying it to every last detail. The atmosphere, food, games and decorations
all relate to shape a unique experience. An ordinary room or space is
transformed into something magical. Adding drama with a huge mobile in the
dining room, or hundreds of paper lanterns at a picnic shelter; parties give us
the opportunity to think outside the box with our décor.
The anticipation of a party is also a wonderful thing,
especially for children that may have helped plan along the way. They know
there will be few limitations on the goodies, drinks and fun to be had, and
there will be lots of friends around to partake in the festivities.
When you begin to plan your next party, consider using felt.
It is an inexpensive way to add bold color and handmade detail to your
gathering. Garlands, banners, party hats, gift wrapping, bows, mobiles, cake
toppers – there is no end to the joy you can create with felt.
