Decorate a cake with candles made from sheets of beeswax and cookie cutters ....
Materials
- Sheets of beeswax, in pink
- Letter-shaped cookie cutters
- Hair dryer
- Toothpicks
- Cotton candlewick
- For each candle, cut out 4 of the same letter from beeswax sheets, using cookie cutters. If the wax is hard to handle, soften it using hair dryer (on low).
- Make 2 stacks of 2 letters.
- Press a toothpick vertically into 1 stack.
- Vertically press in the end of the candlewick above the toothpick, so the toothpick and the wick meet. Trim wick to 1 inch above the top of the letter. Press second stack of letters down on top, sandwiching toothpick and wick between them; press to join the stacks of letters together.
Enjoy the nice warm weather of summer by throwing a chic outdoors party for your family and friends ....
Clothes line & umbrellas: The clothes line & cheap umbrellas turn into a colorful cover for your party table.
Use multiple smaller table runners as a table clothe: Turn a bulk of table runners into colorful table covering by placing them back to back. Different lengths don't matter - they just bring more festivity.
Mix & match chairs: Let's face it - most of us don't have matching chairs for 20-30 people (or for even 10!). I love how in the picture there are multiple different styles of chairs, but they are in two colors, white and green. Great idea to buy a few colorful chairs to give an extra punch of your existing outdoor set.
Recycled bottles and jars as glasses: The set of course of bottles you can buy from IKEA, but why not use recycled washed empty jelly-jars as backyard party glasses?
Add chalk paint to personalize: The chalk paint to personalize the glasses is a great touch!
Mix & match dishes & fabrics: Simple white dinner plates are easy to match with more colorful dishes and with multiple fabrics. Don't be afraid to add different colors and prints, and mixing them in your table settings.
Use fabrics for easy DIY solutions: When I am hosting an outdoor party, it usually starts with a trip to IKEA to pick several yards of fabric. I usually put two dinner tables together and just measure the length and cut the fabric for table clothe. An no, I don't even sew it. My parties are about food and fun, not perfect decorations. I like how in this picture the utensils have been wrapped with fabric napkins - you could just make your own!
Decorate with food & flowers: We move every two years or so, so I don't by many decorative items that I can't re-use party after party. That's why I love decorating with food and flowers and instantly change the look of the party. I love the lemon wedges in the flower vase (you can also use line) and flowers from the yard, so simple and pretty. You could also use colorful candy or fruit for display - and for eating!
